Teen Vogue cover model is teen mom-to-be
The cover model on November’s Teen Vogue is a 19-year-old who is pregnant.
Jourdan Dunn is not visibly pregnant on the cover, and Teen Vogue editors didn’t know she was expecting at the time of the photo shoot, which she shares with Chanel Iman.
But Dunn does go on to discuss her pregnancy in the article in the magazine.
Editor-in-Chief Amy Astley said editors didn’t consider pulling the cover shot.
“Teen pregnancy is a difficult, real-life issue that Teen Vogue readers
(with an average age of 18) are mature enough to be exposed to,” Astley said in a statement. “Teen Vogue felt it was important to support, not punish.”
What do you think? Doesn’t matter? A big scandal? Or, a teachable moment for parents?
