Not long ago, someone tweeted the following from Willow Smith’s @OfficialWillow Twitter account:

So Chris Brown is going to prison now breaking a window at ABC, but he didnt go for hurting Rihanna?

The tweet has since been deleted, but it’s burning up the Twittersphere.

The first question people are asking is: Is it real? Was Willow’s account hacked? Did someone else send the tweet on her behalf?

The second question folks are asking is: If the tweet was real, was it appropriate?

I’ll have more on this in a little bit.

Update | It’s been suggested that the link in the Willow tweet may contain a virus or phishing attempt. I’ve cut it out of my version of the tweet until that’s resolved.

Morning Update | Late last night someone used Willow’s Twitter account to put out a denial that the tweet came from them. So it’s clear that the account was hacked, and  folks should avoid clicking the link in the original tweet.
