Without the 44th president of the United States Barack Obama, many of us would not know the intelligent beauty that is Malia Obama. The record of Michele and Obama is spotless, but it’s normal for a 21-year-old college student to get into some more notorious affairs. After all, none of us were saints in college. We can’t blame the young girl for experimenting in this wild game called life. But of course, the republicans are having a field day with these rumors, some of which have no credibility. Others however, have photos. Here are some.
1. Caught in the act - In 2017, the tabloids had a field day with the fact that Malia Obama was smoking both cigarettes and grass. Based on her completely wholesome parents, the whole image of anyone from the Obama family being a smoker is kind of surprising. But everyone has their vices – we’re sure her parents are just better at hiding them, as adults are.

2. Rumors about college bribery - Malia goes to Harvard University, and a scandalous rumor came out that she was in-volved in the Lori Loughlin university scam, where the acceptance of celebrity kids was fixed. Later, we found out Malia’s tennis coach was charged with bribery. However, Mi-chelle and Barack promised that they were not involved with the coach’s illegitimate behavior. With the high standards and morals taught in that family, we’re inclined to believe them.

3. A secret engagement - Apparently, the young Malia Obama is already engaged! Her fiancé is supposedly Rory Farquharson, and the wedding is supposedly going to be lit to say the least. Then, tab-loids were hit with dramatic news that the engagement was called off. Except for one thing – they were never engaged, so there was nothing to call off!

4. Dad’s not a fan of bae - However, rumors are swirling that Obama himself is not a fan of the boy because he’s British. However, this hearsay was later cleared up as false by Gossip Cop. She’s quite private, so we’re not even sure if the two are dating, but if they are, we’re sure Barack is the inspiring and awesome dad that he usually is.

5. Oprah with some harsh words - When it comes to the smoking scandal with Malia, there was one video in particular of her blowing smoke rings that garnered the disappointment of some of mom and dad’s famous friends. Apparently, she called her “out of control” in a People magazine, But this was told by gossip site Conservative Stamp which was revealed to be a lie by People magazine.

6. Arrested at Harvard - There was a bogus rumor that says Malia was arrested at her prestigious university! Of course, there’s a convenient “media blackout” along with other conflicting details that she was at Harvard County Jail (there is no “Harvard County,” just Cambridge, which is where Harvard University is located). Someone cleverly Photoshopped an image of her holding a backpack on the street and turned it into a mugshot.

7. Underage drinking in Miami - This one is true, but totally not a big deal! When she was 20, she was turning up with her girlfriends in Florida at a pool party and sipping Rose. To be fair, she was just a year shy of 21 and wasn't doing anything particularly crazy in these images.

8. Twerking at an Amsterdam club - I mean… when in Amsterdam, right? She was filmed at the Sugar Factory club in the summer of 2016, doing some dance moves that weren’t exactly ballroom appropriate. She got in a little twerk action and even lifted her dress to give a sneak peek at some booty – unpresidential, but her body, her choice! Also, she wasn’t the president.

9. Obama isn’t her biological dad - As you can probably guess, this tabloid headline was debunked ASAP. The Last Line of Defense website posted a crazy rumor back in 2017 that Barack was trying to leave Michelle because she cheated on him, as revealed by their housekeeper of many years, and that Barack wasn’t the genetic father of Sasha or Malia. People have way too much spare time on their hands!

10. . A secret Facebook page - Apparently, Malia has a secret FB page with some sightly controversial content. While her dad never aimed below the belt at political opponents, Malia’s cover photo is a row of pink sticky notes that says various comments about Donald Trump, including “This is not normal,” “don’t be complacent,” and another note calling him evil. We’ve no idea if this is her real account, and it hasn’t been active since 2017, but a girl’s entitled to her rights.
