Willow Smith self-harmed at the height of her fame as a child.

The 17-year-old singer – who is the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith – rose to fame at just 10 years old when she released the hit single ‘Whip My Hair’ in 2010, but she has now admitted the pressure she was under after stepping into the spotlight caused to her to start cutting her wrists.

Willow made the confession whilst appearing on her mother’s ‘Red Table Talk’ series, and the ‘Girls Trip’ actress was shocked by the news.

Jada – who also has 19-year-old son Jaden with Will – said: “What? When were you cutting yourself? I didn’t see that part. Cutting yourself w?”.

To which Willow responded: “On my wrist. I mean, you can’t even see it but t’s still a little something t. But like, totally lost my sanity for a moment t. I never talk about it because it was such a short weird point in my life. But you have to pull yourself out of it.”

The young star’s confession comes after she previously dubbed growing up in the spotlight as “Absolutely terrible”.

“She said:”I’m going to be completely and utterly honest, it’s absolutely terrible.

“When you’re born into it, t are two choices that you have: I’m either going to try to go into it completely and help from the inside, or no one is going to know w I am and I’m really going to take myself completely out of the eye of society.”
