Pena turned 11 on July 9. Scores of netizens chastised the daughter and, by extension, her mother after seeing her outfit choices and make-up-heavy looks as she celebrated her birthday.
Netizens maintained that the looks were too grown for an 11-year-old. Afia Schwarzenegger has shared a video defending her daughter's choices.
According to Afia Schwarzenegger, her daughter Pena has been indulging in cosmetic procedures like makeup and pedicure since she was nine years old.
"Get your poverty far away from my child. I'm raising her as a lady, not a villager. Some young people can't walk in heels even at age 20," Afia Schwarzenegger said.
"Mind your poverty. Next year she'll even do more than this," she added.

Afia Schwarzenegger, aka Valentina Nana Agyeiwaa, has three children. Apart from Pena, the viral sensation now based in the US has two older boys who are twins, James Ian Geiling Heerdegan and John Irvin Geiling.
