Why'd they show the picture of the underaged girl in an article about her twerking? That's really weird.
Because she wasn't the one twerking in the video
Yes she was. You should read the article. It mentions the girls name, which is the same name on the diplomas the girl is holding. Also putting some random irrelevant person as the image would make zero sense.
No she wasn't. The name matches because the article and picture are both about the person who missed out on the scholarship because of the twerking video, but she still wasn't the person twerking in the video.
"[She] was seen dancing at a private homecoming afterparty on September 30 behind a friend who was twerking"
The person you're replying to is pointing out that they aren't showing the picture of someone who was twerking because her scholarship was revoked for being next to someone who was twerking.
Probably because her parents allowed it.
