Iskra Lawrence reveals she spoke to her son about consent after two boys spanked him
‘You have to let people know it’s not okay to touch your body’: Iskra Lawrence reveals she talked to her 2-year-old son about consent after he was spanked on the butt by two boys
Iskra Lawrence revealed on Tuesday that she spoke to her son about consent after he was spanked on the butt by two boys.
In a Get Ready With Me video, the 32-year-old model, whose son will turn three in April, explained: “We usually go to Chick-Fil-A’s on Mondays after my little one has gym.”
“So I let him out and play and I’m sitting looking close enough to see everything and he’s having a blast.”
But he added that things soon turned around, as there were three older children there who started out playing tag with his son, whose name he never revealed, which turned into hitting.
When she realized what was happening, she ran to stop them at the exact moment she saw two of the boys spanking her rear.

Shocked: Iskra revealed that she took her son from the situation after keeping a close eye on him.
The model wasn’t sure she did the right thing when she told her son: ‘You have to tell people it’s not okay to touch your body’ and then took it back.
Asking her followers for advice, she revealed that the situation had left her in shock as she finished preparing.
The model and her partner, tour manager and songwriter Philip Payne, became parents for the first time when they welcomed their son into the world in April 2020.
She previously opened up about how she felt ‘lost’ and unsure of herself after becoming a mother two years ago, even questioning her career choices.
In an essay for Today last year, she wrote: “I started to think I should try to get back to ‘me,’ and that ‘me’ was a body-confident lingerie model.”
“I started looking at my body and wondering if I felt safe enough.
Then another thought occurred to me: “Can I do this? I’m a mother now. What would people think? Would my son be upset if I post lingerie pictures in 10 years?”
‘What about my familiar neighborhood? Will I be embarrassed if everyone sees me in my underwear?’

‘I thought: ‘Now you are a mother.’ You’ll seem desperate for attention and validation, it’s just not a good look.’
“I wanted to rediscover the part of me that didn’t give a damn about walking around in my underwear or what anyone’s opinion of me was.”
It comes after Iskra opened up about her early days as a model and said she misses the “old me.”
The star shared a series of black and white snaps of her in a bikini top and black pants, which were taken by Matthew Comer.
Sometimes I miss my old self. Sometimes I miss how comfortable I was with my sexuality,” Iskra began.
“How shameless she was of nudity and posing provocatively but in a natural, unforced way,” the supermodel added.
“I got disconnected from a lot of things as I grew a platform, I started to feel pressure from people holding me to a ‘role model’ standard.”
Candid: Iskra previously revealed that she’s worried that people will think she’s a ‘bad mom’ if she wears revealing clothes or shows off her curves.
Iskra also reflected on a “gig” she took for rapper Cardi B, revealing that she told Philip: “I’m not even comfortable twerkin in public and letting go.”
He added that he did not want to “let people down” and “be a bad role model” or a “bad influence” on others.
Iskra said: “I would love to know if anyone feels that the pressure of an online personality made them shrink or deny parts of themselves.” she said frankly.
“Regardless of the industry you’re in, there are certain standards that I think we all feel we need to meet in order to be socially acceptable online. How do you feel about that?”
