Why Jamie Oliver has banned his daughters from doing this one thing
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has criticised parents who let their daughters post selfies on social media that look “quite porno”.
The father-of-five, who has two teenage girls Poppy, 15 and Daisy, 14, admits there are many challenges to being among the first generation of parents who have to deal with the perils of social media.
Speaking on The Lifestyle News Hound podcast, Oliver said: "I'm going to generalise massively here, but from my observation so far, at 13 to 14 the kind of pictures girls are putting up, just from what I have seen, are split 50/50 – normal young girl and then their weird hybrid of, dare I say it, quite porno, sort of luscious, kind of pouty lips, pushing boobs out.”
"I'm like, 'Oh my god!'" he continued. "I don't even want to look at some of the things my daughter shows me,” he continues.
"I'm like, 'Really? Aren't their parents all over that like a rash?' We banned Daisy from doing selfies and mainly she doesn't but a couple slip up."
The TV chef said he believes for teenagers getting “likes” on their selfies is like the “sugar” of social media.
"It's a quick way to get some sort of – forgive me – pat on the back or love," he said.
