Sorry, but her name isn't actually Danielle and I didn't see a parental consent slip. Please call her by her actual name, Marlaina Smith, so no one gets in trouble

Holy shit! Not knowing whether you were joking or not, I did a basic wikipedia search. Unless someone has vandalized her page, you're right.

So who is she to talk? Why aren't interviewers pressing her on this?
