Michelle Obama Tried to Shield Daughters From Media Scrutiny
Michelle Obama recently opened up about the challenges she faced trying to protect her daughters, Malia and Sasha, from public scrutiny during their teenage years. Speaking on Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa, the former First Lady revealed how difficult it was to keep normal moments—like smoking, drinking, or going to prom—out of the spotlight while living in the White House.
She described weekends as “a nightmare,” with constant concerns over the girls being photographed or criticized for typical teenage behavior. Even playdates and parties required Secret Service coordination, home inspections, and background checks on friends’ families.
Now that Malia, 26, and Sasha, 23, are adults, Michelle said she focuses on helping them stay grounded. She referred to the lasting public attention as the “Obama tax”—the price her family pays for being in the spotlight, even as her daughters try to lead private, independent lives.
