Kylie Jenner’s New Ad Sparks Debate
Kylie Jenner, the well-known celebrity, is facing criticism for a recent advertisement promoting her new “King Kylie Cosmetics” collection. The ad shows Jenner in handcuffs, walking down a hallway with police officers.
The 28-year-old wore a black leather bra and shorts, accessorized with chains and jewelry. Some people are saying the imagery is insensitive, especially given current discussions around law enforcement and border security.
Jenner’s team is bringing back her “King Kylie” image from years ago, when she was known for bold looks, like blue hair. This was also the time when she started her company, Kylie Cosmetics.
While some fans and friends are excited about the new collection, others have taken to social media to voice their concerns. They feel the ad is out of touch with the issues facing everyday Americans. Some critics are pointing out the timing of the ad, which comes after “No Kings” protests. They believe the imagery is insensitive.
Others are comparing the ad to a previous controversial Pepsi commercial featuring Jenner’s sister, Kendall. That ad was quickly pulled after widespread criticism.
Jenner has yet to respond to the controversy.
