MTV “Skins” star Sofia Black-D’Elia, who plays a lesbian teen on the teen show, passionately defends the racy and controversial content of the show, claiming it’s pushing society boundaries, but portrays the teen reality nowadays.

MTV “Skins” Target of Federal Child Porn Investigation

Sofia says, “It’s pushing the boundaries for teen drama because I think Skins goes where other shows are afraid to.”

“It’s what teens are doing. It’s the way teenagers believe, I think, especially you know in certain situations when you come from home lives where your parents don’t really support you or really listen to you. That’s what most of these kids are going through. And so, um, the drugs and the sex, they’re vices, and that’s what teenagers have.”

“Skins” achieved the highest rate for a new scripted series in the 12 to 34 demo during the premiere on Monday night (January 17). The Parent Television Council was absolutely shocked by explicit content of the MTV series and asked for a federal investigation regarding the possible violation of several child pornography laws.
