Heidi Klum’s daughter Leni has defended herself after the duo posed together for a lingerie photoshoot that caused controversy.
The 18-year-old stunned next to her supermodel mother as they wore very little clothing for a recent Intimissi campaign.
It launched October 10 but not everyone approved of the mother-daughter duo’s antics.

The pictures showed them in different underwear sets from the brand, including a white bra and French knickers and a matching black set.
Some of the pictures showed them sat on a wooden stool wearing high heels while others showed them goofing around together and having fun in the studio.
However, the Klum’s haven’t let the negativity get to them and Leni brushed off the comments that slammed her mother for getting her involved.
Leni recently moved to New York City from California so she could attend college and has assured fans that she is happy with the pictures.
She also gushed over her model mother and called her an “inspiration” before she recalled their time on set together.
Leni spoke to Page Six and said: “I honestly didn’t look at a lot of the reactions. I am overall happy with the campaign and I had an amazing day with my mom.”
Fans of the 49-year-old took to social media to comment on the snaps when they were first released and one went so far as to call them “icky”.
Another Twitter user wrote: “Sexualising your daughter the moment they turn legal is weird.”
American media personality Howard Stern even commented on the photoshoot during his show on SiriusXM.
He told listeners: “I looked at it and I thought: ‘This is so f***ing out of line. It is so inappropriate, but you can’t stop looking at it.”

Leni appeared unphased and spoke about “the advice she gives her,” the “way she works,” and “everything about her”.
The teenager admitted that she could “go on and on” as she “loves shooting with her”.
Leni discussed her mum with Page Six at her parent’s annual Halloween party and the supermodel’s costume did not disappoint.
Heidi is known as the queen of Halloween for her wacky and outrageous outfits, and this year was no different.
Klum broke the internet and fans went wild for her crazy realistic worm costume, complete with giant tail and face paint.
