Former First Lady Michelle Obama has opened up about the challenges of raising her daughters, Malia and Sasha, under the intense glare of the public eye. During Barack Obama's presidency, protecting them from tabloid scrutiny proved particularly difficult.
In a recent interview, Obama discussed the constant battle to keep her daughters' teenage experiences private. She specifically mentioned the challenges of preventing their smoking habits from becoming tabloid fodder.
Malia Obama, in particular, has been frequently photographed taking smoke breaks, leading to numerous headlines. One instance that garnered significant attention was in 2016 when she was photographed smoking a joint at Lollapalooza.
