Kendall Jenner is no stranger to controversy. In fact, some argue that that's pretty much what she relies on for her career.
From poorly planned Pepsi ads to more than her fair share of cultural appropriation claims, to that infamous video with Bella Hadid, Kendall is basically never out of the headlines.
But this time, she may have taken it too far with her posts about the coronavirus. It was so bad that Italian model, Chiarra Ferragni, called her out directly for it.
Keep scrolling to see what she posted...
You might know Kendall Jenner from the hit reality TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
She had an early introduction to fame and fortune...
And a few years on, Kendall now has one of the most recognizable faces in the modeling world.
From Burberry to Calvin Klein...
However, things haven't always gone smoothly in her career.
Considering she stays relatively low-key when it comes to Keeping Up With The Kardashians, it looks like her lucrative modeling adventures have been far from plain sailing.Remember that Pepsi advert that almost wrecked her career?
In 2017, the world watched, appalled, as Kendall Jenner brought a social justice protest to an end with one simple act – handing the police officer a can of Pepsi. As problematic goes, this was definitely up thereThe ill-judged ad faced worldwide criticism, and rightly so!
The controversial commercial, which was promptly pulled following the backlash, insinuated that all the problems could be brought to a harmonious end with a can of the sugary soda – or, at least, that’s the logic that we were presented with. But in a world wherein these are real issues affecting real people, the ad just appeared to distastefully trivialize the demonstrations fighting for good causes such as Black Lives Matter.And, for her participation, Jenner paid the price.
Remember when Kendall Jenner thought she could put an end to political conflict by handing out cans of Pepsi and no… https://t.co/PTDNSOonny— yas (@yas)1546966591.0
Sadly, that was far from the only controversy she was involved in...
The supermodel has previously hit the headlines multiple times because of her hair. Now, you may be thinking “hair is just hair, how can it possibly be problematic?"Well, it can be...
Especially when you consider cultural appropriation – AKA the adoption of elements of one culture by members of another culture, which can often spark controversy when a socially dominant culture takes from a disadvantaged minority culture.The model walked the Marc Jacobs runway wearing dreadlocks.
So it's safe to say that a modeling career can come with its fair share of problems...
There’s one area in which she’s particularly prone to causing a stir – her fashion choices.
But with a strong following of 121 million on Instagram...
Kendall can pretty much post what she wants, but it seems to always backfire on her.Kendall has been slammed for something completely different.
We are currently in the midst of a global pandemic with the coronavirus and it has already claimed the lives of thousands of people.But what exactly is COVID-19, and just how dangerous is it?
The virus primarily affects the respiratory system.
But, in more severe cases...
It's a dire situation.
Well, the virus is believed to have originated in Wuhan, China.
And where did it come from?
And, despite infected people being quarantined...
It only took a month for the World Health Organization to declare a global emergency...
But these attempts were to little avail.
But one of the worst places to be hit is Italy.
And Italian supermodel Chiarra Ferragni has been reporting on just how bad it actually is...
She ckaimed that when Italians first heard about the disease, they just thought it would be like the flu and that it would be gone within a week or two, but after the lockdown, they realized just how serious the issue was.So when Kendall Jenner decided to post some "insensitive" statistics about the coronavirus on her Instagram, Chiarra couldn't help but call her out.
In an Instagram post, she wrote this: "The situation is really getting out of control because there are so many complications connected to this disease, especially breathing problems."She continued:
She was really passionate about the issue...
And then she directly called out Kendall Jenner after recalling her statistics post:
She also directly tagged Kendall in the post.
And it seems as if a lot of people agree with Chiarra.
Dear Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber and all the celeb that are posting graphics to underestimate Coronavirus and the… https://t.co/G5zfm5hXpz— Julia ☁️ (@Julia ☁️)1584085566.0
