Will Smith's Shocked Family Photo Wasn't In Response To Miley Cyrus' VMAs Performance
A picture's worth a thousand words, or so they say. But those words may end up getting shuffled up a bit sometimes, as was the case for the Smith family photo that was circulating after last night's MTV Video Music Awards. The image showed Will Smith and his kids in seeming shock or discomfort as they reportedly watched Miley Cyrus work the stage in a skimpy outfit during her performance with Robin Thicke.
BuzzFeed posted the photo below, in an article titled "Will Smith's family reacting to Miley Cyrus is perfect."
And let's face it. It is perfect. Or it would have been if they really were reacting to Miley Cyrus. We have Jaden looking uncertain, Willow with her jaw dropped and Will looking uncomfortable. The woman next to Will has her hand over her mouth in seeming horror. Or so we're made to think. A screenshot can be misleading if titled out of context, and that seems to be the case here, as MTV has clarified the situation by sharing an update that notes that the Smiths were actually watching Lady Gaga's opening performance when this screen was grabbed, and that they were having a gr

Smith family reaction captured in picture.&#; In a similar segment on Morning Joe on MSNBC, the photo is shown and co-host Joe Scarborough exclaims, &#;Look at Will Smith&#;s family!&#; and co-host Mika Brzezinski says solemnly, &#;That&#;s it, right there.&#;
But as MTV itself was quick to point out, it wasn&#;t true. The image of the Smiths was indeed from Sunday night’s VMAs, but it was captured while the family watched Lady Gaga perform, not Cyrus.
Also, the Smiths aren’t staring in shock or disbelief, as the

Update: Turns out the Smith family's reactions were actually in response to Lady Gaga's performance.

Miley Cyrus shocked pretty much everyone when performing in a nude bra and underwear and grinding on Robin Thicke during her MTV Video Music Awards set on Sunday night.
But possibly no one was more stunned than Will Smith and his two kids, son Jaden and daughter Willow. And it's not like they're so innocent.
Here's their epic reaction as shown on TV:
Perhaps this is what they were reacting to:
Or this:
Will and Jaden clearly felt more moved by Drake's performance:
The whole family really know how to work their facial expressions:
