Malia Obama got one piece of advice from her mom before heading to college - and she didn't follow it
- Malia Obama was told by her mother Michelle Obama to avoid being featured on gossip column Page Six when she went to college.
- The former first lady then added that Malia might not have managed to do that.
- Malia's life is extensively documented outside of Page Six as well.
Before former first daughter Malia Obama headed off to Harvard in the fall, she received a sage piece of advice from her mother and former first lady Michelle Obama.
"Don't wind up on Page Six," Michelle said, according to Page Six itself. "I don't know if she managed that."
The New York Post's iconic gossip column has featured many a celebrity in its pages, Malia being one of them.
The Harvard freshman took a gap year after her senior year of high school, and worked in New York City. And she behaved like a normal teenager, hanging out with her friends and going to premier parties at nightclubs.
What made the situation different from the normal party goer? She was flanked by secret service members. Michelle shared her advice to Malia at Klick Health's Muse event, according to Page Six.
Malia has attracted lots of media attention since starting at Harvard, from moving into her college dorm with former President Barack Obama to losing her cellphone at the Lollapalooza music festival.
And recently, news that Malia is dating Harvard classmate Rory Farquharson piqued readers' interest.
