Malia Obama looks stylish on rare outing in New York’s trendy West Village with friends – days after convicted fraudster claimed he had gay sex with her father before his election in 2008
Malia Obama was seen walking through the West Village with friends on September 9 as drama intensified following a scammer’s allegations that he had sex with her father, former President Barack Obama.
The 25-year-old strolled arm in arm with her friends, past restaurants and clothing stores in the trendy Lower Manhattan neighborhood.
The trio stopped to chat on a street corner as they waited for the traffic to pass. Malia, who is that? reported to stand at 6 feet tall, towered several inches above her friends.
The eldest Obama daughter styled her hair in a mix of small braids and soft curls.
She wore a blue long-sleeved top with visible seams down the arms and a light blue suede bag with a chunky buckle.

She completed the look with oversized burgundy pants and a pair of beloved gum-soled Adidas sneakers.
A dainty silver chain rested just above the neckline of her shirt.
Malia grinned and talked to her friends as she crossed in front of a yellow taxi.
She was seen clinging to a friend with short, slicked back hair, wearing a black T-shirt and Left Hand LA jeans.
The ensemble was completed with brown leather boots and a thick brown belt.
Malia and her other friend, who wore crimson-dyed hair and choppy bangs, stood behind the stream of pedestrians to walk together.
The friend wore a sheer lace top with floral embroidery, knee-length jeans and black harness boots.
She carried a leather bag studded with rhinestones and wore several thick silver rings and what looked like a gauze bandage on her thumb.
Malia was previously spotted in Los Angeles on September 7.
She was with John Koch, founder and CEO of The Speak Company, a media relations brand with clients including Paramount and The Walt Disney Company.
Malia moved to Los Angeles after graduating from Harvard University in 2021 and recently worked as a screenwriter for Donald Glover’s Amazon show, Swarm.
It is unclear why she was in New York.
The former first daughter enjoyed the day out even as her father was embroiled in controversy over allegations of homosexual sex by a man named Lawrence, or Larry, Sinclair.
Sinclair has a lengthy criminal history, including convictions for forgery, fraud and theft. In 2008, he was wanted for forging an acquaintance’s signature and stealing her tax refunds.
He has served prison time in Arizona, Florida and Colorado.
The convicted fraudster originally made the claims in 2008 and published a book titled Barack Obama & Larry Sinclair: Cocaine, Sex, Lies & Murder? two years later.
Sinclair, who claimed to have been sexually involved with Obama nearly two decades ago, was spotted at a Trump hotel in 2019
Former TV personality Tucker Carlson brought the accuser on his show. The commentator was demoted to a segment on Elon Musk’s social media platform after Fox News cut ties
The baseless claims came to light again during an interview with Tucker Carlson, the disgraced talk show host who parted ways with Fox News in April 2023.
A growing number of internal problems within the company reportedly led to his dismissal from the company, after which he created his own show on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
Carlson’s interview with Sinclair aired on September 6. The post had been viewed more than 34 million times at the time this article was written.
Sinclair repeated claims that Obama smoked crack with him before the ex-con gave him oral sex. He claimed that Obama returned to his hotel the next day before the same routine played out.
Dave Portnoy, founder of the digital media company Barstool Sports, lambasted Sinclair after meeting him before the taping of his own Tucker Carlson segment.
βFrom head to toe, possibly the least trustworthy human being I have ever seen,β he said in a social media post.
βI would say his story has a 0.0% (chance) of being true and that’s being generous.β
