Dang, Willow played us and she played us all nicely. Apparently this tongue ring foolery is all just a belated April Fool's joke. Now we know daddy Will was always the jokester of the Smith bunch, but who knew his baby girl was following in his footsteps. So it's official -- take a breather because 11 year-old Willow Smith DOES NOT really have her tongue pierced.

Willow cleared up the rumors shortly after she posted up a picture on Instagram of her and a friend with what appeared to be real piercings. One person even tweeted "That awkward moment when you find out Willow Smith has a tongue piercing. She's 11." We couldn't have said it any better... She admitted that the piercing was actually all a hoax and said "It's fake...Sorry."

Willow, Willow, Willow... say sorry to your poor parents because they're going to be criticized for this foolery, and not to mention they're probably going to receive a bunch of parenting 101 business for the rest of the week, if not month.

There you go folks, "sorry" but it's a fake, "sorry" for the mini panic attacks to all the parents out there.

What do you guys think about this? Is Willow heading down a wild road even if it's a fake piercing? Share your thoughts below and check out the full story here.
