A photo of a young woman who looks like Sasha Obama has gone viral, with several Twitter accounts claiming it is her, but some fans aren’t convinced.
The image in question shows an unidentified woman striking a pose in a crop top, bikini bottoms, and a sarong. She has a large tattoo on her ribcage and is wearing plenty of jewelry, including the same layered necklaces that Sasha was seen wearing in previous TikTok videos.
MEFeater Magazine was among the Twitter accounts that shared the photo on Sunday, which led to 19-year-old Sasha’s name trending. The online publication claimed it was the former First Daughter, writing: ‘Sasha Obama is GIVING honey!’
Another person tweeted the image and wrote: ‘Sasha Obama is a hot girl!’
The picture appears to have been taken at a house party and shows three people standing behind the woman, who is not confirmed to be Sasha. It’s unclear when the photo was taken; neither the woman nor the man behind her is wearing a mask.
‘If that’s her, and I’m not convinced that it is, it’s an old picture because both girls are home with Barack and Michelle right now since colleges are closed and classes are online,’ one person pointed out.
Sasha is a sophomore at the University of Michigan, and while the school’s flagship campus in Ann Arbor welcomed students this fall, her mother, Michelle Obama, revealed in September that the teen was sticking to remote learning for now.
Thousands of people commented on the woman’s appearance in the image, both negatively and positively.
‘Why does she look so cheap[?],’ someone asked, while another wrote: ‘Ugh. When was that? She looks cheap here if that’s her.’
