Russian supermodel Kristina Pimenova is a beautiful girl. There’s no doubt about that, but the problem is her age, which let’s just say is quite young.
Your jaw might literally hit the floor when you read how young.
Young Kristina, dubbed the “World’s Youngest Supermodel” and the “Most Beautiful Girl in the World” by fans (which she has), is years away from being a teenager.
That’s right, not an adult, a teenager. She’s nine. 9!! Single digits (!?!?)
Kristina’s mom, Glikeriya Shirokova, handles her social media accounts, which includes more than 2 million fans on Facebook and 400,000 on Instagram.
The mother, herself a former Russian model, has been criticized for her eyebrow-raising choices, like sharing photos of her little girl in short shorts.
She also strikes poses that are meant to be … we don’t even know.
Inappropriate comments we don’t even want to repeat come flooding in each time Kristina’s mother shares a photo, as do calls for the mom to stop the madness.
Some users have described her Kristina’s pictures as “creepy” while others are sad, angry and concerned for the girl’s future. Writes one vocal critic:
“Parents like you are the reason why girls grow up to have many issues… also there are so many sick people out their that look at these in sexual ways.”
Glikeriya claims to frequently monitor the social media accounts and has even created a list of “rules” for users, but that hasn’t quelled the controversy.
Kristina – whose father is a soccer player in Russia – has already achieved success beyond Instagram, working with Vogue, Roberto Cavalli and Armani.
Does that legitimize her parents’ decision-making at all?
“She has been having a blast ever since and is still loving every minute of it,” her mother said, in her defense … but you tell us: Is she too young for this?!
