Last month, video captured Obama smoking ~something~ at Lollapalooza in Chicago. People online began to shame the teen, who is headed to Harvard University next year after taking a gap year. Others responded with a simple message: Leave. Malia. Alone.

Wearing a Harvard cap and a homemade "Smoking Kills" T-shirt, she hung out with her sister, Beyoncé, and Jay Z as they celebrated Queen Bey's birthday.

Is Malia going to use her gap year just going to festivals around the world? Cause I support it. https://t.co/dCZELyNVmZ
