Okay, let’s talk about a disturbing thing that someone sent me. Robert Hoffman is an American actor and dancer. He’s visiting India, and while in Bombay seems to have met a 12-year-old girl named Maleesha in a Bandra slum while shooting with her family, I think?

She’s a beautiful little girl, and he thinks she should be a model — and wants to help her become one. So far, so White Saviour.

He’s created an Instagram account where he posts on her behalf: https://www.instagram.com/maleeshakharwa/  And has christened her “Slum Princess”

He’s also started a @gofundme page: https://www.gofundme.com/f/helpmaleesha  which aims to raise 20,000 dollars. They’ve raised about a thousand so far. Going to share screenshots here ugh

Here are some.

Here are some more:

Her account doesn’t show up on Instagram search, but is accessible from his page, where he jokingly refers to her as his daughter Robert also does not like criticism.
