Malia Obama and her boyfriend being busted while streaking naked on Harvard’s campus is fake news. There is no truth to a report that former President Barack Obama’s oldest daughter was caught streaking on the university’s campus with her boyfriend. Malia Obama has been the subject of many fake news, tweets, images and memes and this is just another one in a long list of them.
Where did this fake news originate? America’s Last Line of Defense published the fake news article on Jan. 19, 2018, reporting that Malia Obama had been caught running naked with her boyfriend during “Thirsty Thursday” on Harvard’s campus. You can read the fake news below.
Malia Obama has gotten herself into trouble yet again after a stupid “Thirsty Thursday” night stunt. Every week, college students drink themselves into oblivion the day before the last day of classes for the week, and Malia Obama — who is under the legal drinking age of 21 — is no different.
Apparently, the elder Obama daughter had a bit too much to drink and, according to Harvard Campus Safety, took a “dare” from her friends to streak across a parking lot with her boyfriend. The Harvard Sentinel reports:
Two students were cited after campus security observed them “streaking” across the Northeastern parking lot near the McDonnell Dormitory at around 1:30 a.m. Friday morning.
Malia Obama, 19, and Dmitri Noonan, 24, were seen holding hands and running through the parking lot while yelling what appeared to be “how you like me now [expletive deleted].”
The pair will be charged with public indecency, fined $500 each by the school, and placed on academic probation for the remainder of the semester. Another offense could lead to expulsion.
However, there is no truth to the story. What was the problem with the story to make it false? For one thing, Harvard’s college newspaper is not “The Sentinel” but rather is The Harvard Crimson. And, that college newspaper does not have any stories on Malia Obama pertaining to her running naked through campus.
Recently, Malia Obama was seen with her mother, Michelle Obama, in Miami Beach. There, the mother-daughter duo dined at steakhouse Prime 112 with Tracy Mourning, founder of Honey Shine, an organization dedicated to empowering young women. Beyond dining at Miami’s best restaurants, Malia and Michelle also took time to soak up the warm Florida weather at the area’s best beaches.
