Lourdes Leon seems to live by the mantra; like mother, like daughter. Throughout the years, Madonna used her words and her art to empower others as an iconic artist.
The music legend never backed down from controversy and savored every opportunity she had to start one. Madonna is also known for taking down her critics when she deems it necessary.
By the looks of things, Madonna’s eldest daughter, Lourdes Leon, has the same mentality. The model and influencer took to Instagram recently, where she posted a gorgeous photo of herself at the 2021 Met Gala.
The 24-year-old actress and dancer took a fierce pose while wearing a pink bra top and matching skirt that featured rhinestones designed by Moschino.
Madonna’s mini-me completed the mesmerizing look with a matching purse. She wore a long black wig for the night and had on the perfect makeup.
Lourdes Leon gave the camera a fierce look and proudly put her armpit hair on display. Leon penned a headline-grabbing caption where she destroyed those who write “misogynistic” comments to humiliate women about their bodies.
She told the trolls to think before harassing women for their appearances.
She wrote: “Normalize not discussing a woman’s body period! THINK before you make insensitive, misogynistic comments!”
Her decision to bash the body shamers received tons of praise from her followers.
One backer shared this positive message, according to The Mirror: “What you’re doing is stripping power off the patriarchy – it never comes without a punishment. But when strong women like you take the lead, it inspires so many to follow. Please continue!! You’re the queen. And a beautiful one too.”
Despite being applauded by many for being a bold young woman, she opted to delete the powerful picture and message. This is not the first time Lourdes Leon has called out the people who spend their time bringing women down.
Talking to Vanity Fair earlier this year, she went after the creeps on social media.
She said: “Grown-ass men who ask me if I’m on ‘The’ Gram'” is: “You need to gather yourself and think about the way in which you want to get to know people because that’s just not how you do it.”
She also got political during the interview: “After the last presidency, I don’t think I have one friend that’s not depressed or anxious…we feel together now, and there is a sense of solidarity and responsibility for any person that doesn’t feel safe to walk down the street.”
Leon has her mother’s feistiness.
