Daughter Has No Other Choice But To Always Wear A ‘No Photo’ Hoodie So Her Influencer Mom Would Stop Posting Her Pics
As Influencers In The Wild showed us, just the sight of them can be annoying. Now imagine having one in your family. Just hours ago, redditor FinallyAnonymous6 explained what it’s like to grow up with a mom who is uploading every aspect of your personal life on the Internet. After exhausting all the possibilities she could think of, the 16-year-old daughter ordered various “No Photos” hoodies and started wearing them every time her mom was around. Naturally, tensions reached the climax. Continue scrolling to hear what the teen has to say.

The daughter was also thinking about creating an Instagram account and posting one picture that’s just of her holding a paper that says, ‘I do not consent to photos on the account @MomsAccount. I do not consent to being written about in @mommyblog. I did not consent to the pictures and stories already posted there. Please help me report all of @MomsAccount posts where I appear for harassment.’
“But honestly, I’m worried that kind of drama would put me more in the public eye and lead to articles about me or something. When I want the opposite, for everything about me online to be gone,” she said. “Plus, I know the wording would make my mom angry. Every time I talk about consent or ‘no means no’ or how I own my own body, she accuses me of making it sound like ‘a dirty sex thing’ … Which isn’t how I mean it, I just think consent and bodily autonomy matters for many reasons! Not only sex!”
People instantly showed their support for the 16-year-old
The struggle for regaining control over her personal life has pushed the teen to the very limit. “I already feel like I’m at ‘last resort’ stages now, I just recently had a huge public fight with my mom where I lost my temper and screamed at her, ‘I’m 16, IT’S NOT OKAY THAT YOU’RE WHORING ME OUT FOR MONEY.'” However, the mom got mad and played the you’re-making-everything-about-sex card again. “[She] totally missed the point that I don’t want my pics to be her money-making scheme anymore.”
She should see a lawyer and sue for royalties from the pictures of her. That might make the woman wake up. I really can't understand parents that don't respect their kids right to privacy, and instead treat them like possessions.
as a "model", (ie subject of a photo), the kids would 100% be entitle to some kind of payment, AND a licensing fee, especially as her mother did it for her own commercial gain. That is how models earn their money - by getting paid for the image being taken, and it's ongoing use. This, is 100% standard practice for all commercial images within Europe / USA / Australia / New Zealand / Canada etc, and has been for generations.

She should set up her own blog or insta and write things her mother wouldn’t want online and post unflattering pics of her. She’ll soon understand the concept of privacy
That's a neat mental exercise; perhaps just suggesting that to the mom would help wake her up a little bit. But to actually do it would just be self sabotage. Anything you said from then on would be labeled as hypocrisy.
