Blue Ivy Carter Pictures 2014: Woman Who Created 'Comb Her Hair' Petition Says it Was a Joke
The creator of the Change.org petition, who received a storm of backlash for demanding that Jay-Z and Beyonce comb their toddler daughter's hair, is defending her petition and claiming it was a big joke.
Days after the Carter family was spotted landing at a heliport in New York on June 8, people pointed out that Blue Ivy's hair looked tangled and unkempt. But Jasmin Toliver went as far as to create a Change.org petition demanding that the parents comb their child's hair.
In the petition, titled "Comb Her Hair," the Brooklyn woman states:
"As a woman who understands the importance of hair care. It's disturbing to watch a child suffering from the lack of hair moisture. The parents of Blue Ivy. Sean Carter A.K.A Jay Z and Beyoncé has failed at numerous attempts of doing Blue Ivy Hair. This matter has escalated to the child developing matted dreads and lint balls. Please let's get the word out to properly care for Blue Ivy hair."
The petition garnered over 5,000 signatures -- but it also received a firestorm of criticism from people who accused Toliver of picking on a toddler.
In response, Toliver posted a Facebook status June 13 saying that she finds the petition and subsequent backlash hilarious. She also snapped at her critics for taking it seriously.
"I'm just so over with society! Obviously the petition was a joke!" she wrote.
"It just goes to show you how dumb people really are to believe I would really deep down in my heart start a petition to comb her hair and be DEAD SERIOUS! Your suppose to laugh at stuff like that," she explained.
She then writes: "I guess petition sounds important like its judicial. Something that has to be notarized.. Like the courts or police officers has to be involved.! Like its a subpoena! Like if it does get a billion signatures a change will ACTUALLY HAPPEN!!!!! Lol yo it just goes to show people will fall for anything! Especially a petition as stupid as that! Really "COMB HER HAIR" lmao this was genius! I mean I knew I needed to be on somebody television one day because I come up with some crazy topics and jokes but DAMN. My petition has put the damn world at a stand still. Yes the baby needs her hair done I'll stick by that.! Tuh! But the petition is obviously a joke and thanks to everyone who had common sense to realize it. Doesn't mean anything but a laugh among friends and family member when I pointed out that it was a mess. But again I'm done with society it's so easy to get blood sucked into it and brainwashed. I'm going to CONTINUE TO BE ME! NOTHING WILL CHANGE. My thick skin got me through this hilarious experience! I was raised in a no nonsense household and tell it how it is. That's exactly what I did.! Thank god for alllll of my friends and family members on FB on and off to agree with me and seen the humor in it. I made it baby!!!"
She signs off with a tasteful closing, writing: "Google me b*tches! Lmao!"
