Girl who released picture of Malia Obama smoking cannabis forced to delete Twitter account after online outrage

Malia Obama, the 18-year-old daughter of President Barack Obama was spotted smoking what some suspected was a cannabis joint.

Miss Obama, who is set to attend Harvard next year, was at the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago, Illinois where a video captured her appearing to inhale.

In the nine-second video, published by Radar Online, a young woman in the foreground danced and stuck her tongue out while Miss Obama could be seen in the background.

The website claimed an eyewitness had smelled cannabis in the air. 

The girl has deleted her twitter account after it was found out she was the one who sent out the video – this discovery led to the outrage of social media trolls who called her a snitch for letting the video out.
