Kylie Jenner has faced criticism online after a controversial Instagram post.
Her post got everyone talking.
One person wrote: “Someone ask Kylie Jenner to stop.”
While another said: “Kylie Jenner doesn’t know what she’s talking about.”
“I fear the silicone has leaked into her brain!!”
Scroll on to see what caused the controversy.
Now, the Kardashians are a family with a lot going on, to say the least…
It’s pretty hard to keep track of it all!
Most of us have heard of Kim Kardashian…
The forty-one-year-old has broken the internet with her escapades many times.
But you can’t talk about Kim without discussing the rest of the gang.
She comes from one of the most famous families in America, so let’s take a closer look…
Starting off with one of the most important figures in the family, Kris Jenner is infamous for her role as ‘momager’.
She was the catalyst for the family’s reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which launched them all to a new level of fame.
Her first husband was none other than Robert Kardashian, O.J. Simpson’s lawyer in that notorious trial.
Robert married Kris in 1978, but the pair were divorced by 1991.
The sixty-six-year-old had 4 kids with Robert.
Sadly, Robert passed away back in 2003.
Kris and Robert’s eldest child together is none other than Kourtney Kardashian.
The forty-three-year-old is the founder of lifestyle brand Poosh.
Aside from her solo business ventures, she isn’t afraid to partner with her sisters.
She is known to have collaborated with Kylie Cosmetics as well as Kim’s range KKW Beauty.
Kourtney also recently married Travis Barker, drummer in the legendary rock band Blink-182.
The pair married in May of this year, holding 3 different ceremonies in Las Vegas, Santa Barbara and Portofino in Italy.
However, before this, Kourtney had a long on-again-off-again relationship with Scott Disick, ranging from 2006 to 2015.
The pair have 3 children together named Mason, Penelope and Reign.
Fans of Keeping Up with the Kardashians will know Scott well…
This is because he became quite the fixture in the show, and even went on to feature in various spinoffs.
The second oldest of the Kardashian gang is, of course, Kim herself.
It’s fair to say that Kim was the first real breakout star from the family.
Although some might put this catapult to stardom down to her relationship with Ray J…
Their involvement with each other has been forever immortalized in that video…
But that’s enough about that — since then, Kim has proven herself to be a real force.
Aside from her success on social media, the forty-one-year-old has proven herself to be a great businesswoman.
She launched her very own shapewear brand in 2019 called Skims.
Talking to Nordstrom, Kim spoke of where the inspiration for the brand came from: “Any great outfit starts with what’s underneath. If I don’t feel comfortable in my underwear or if it doesn’t fit properly, I am not going to feel good in it, no matter how I look from the outside.”
The brand focuses on body positivity and inclusivity, with a range of shades and sizes available.
Since its launch 3 years ago, the brand has seen huge success, with a valuation of $3.2 billion back in January 2022, as per Forbes.
She also has had success in the beauty industry.
She launched KKW Beauty in 2017, before relaunching the brand as a skincare line called SKKN by Kim earlier this year.
According to Glamour Magazine, people think the rebrand was because of her divorce from Kanye West.
The pair were arguably one of the most high-profile celebrity couples around.
The pair first met in the early 2000s, but they didn’t become an item until 2012.
They married in 2014, but called it quits last year, with Kim filing for divorce in the same month as the KKW rebrand announcement in February 2021.
Kim and Kanye have 4 children together.
They are called North, Chicago, Psalm and Saint.
Then, born in 1980, is the youngest of the Kardashian sisters, Khloé.
The thirty-eight-year-old is known for being one of the most athletic of the sisters.
However, don’t let this trick you into thinking she’s not business savvy too.
Because that is certainly not the case!
Aside from the regular spinoffs, Khloé has produced her own shows too, including Revenge Body with Khloé Kardashian.
The star has also launched her own clothing line called Good American, which is reported to have made $1 million in sales on its very first day!
Khloé was married to NBA player Lamar Odom from 2009 until she filed for divorce in 2013.
The pair tied the knot exactly one month after they met!
The Kardashian then met another basketball player, Tristan Thompson.
They have 1 daughter named True, and a son who was born via surrogacy in July.
However, the pair have a very rocky history, having initially split in 2019 after cheating allegations.
Although the pair rekindled and quarantined together during the pandemic, they split again in 2021.
Then there is the only brother to come out of the Kardashian clan, Rob Jr.
He is known as being one of the most camera-shy members of the family, but he did compete in the thirteenth season of Dancing with the Stars, and came an impressive second.
Rob has found himself in some hot water over the years, particularly in relation to the mother of his daughter, rapper Blac Chyna.
Back in 2017, the thirty-five-year-old was banned from Instagram after sharing explicit photos of his ex after accusing her of infidelity.
As well as the trio of Kardashian sisters, the family extends into the Jenners with the notable addition of Kendall and Kylie.
Kris married Bruce Jenner, who transitioned in 2015, taking the name Caitlyn.
Caitlyn was married to Kris for over twenty years, from 1991 to 2015.
Kris filed for divorce in 2014, citing irreconcilable differences.
However, the pair have 2 children together who are undeniably a key part of the Kardashian collective.
Their kids may be the youngest, but this by no means indicates they are the weakest!
Kendall Jenner is known for modelling career, which has seen her walk runways all over the world.
The twenty-six-year-old has been on multiple magazine covers, including Allure, LOVE, Harper’s Bazaar and even a range of international Vogue editions.
She is undoubtedly one of the most successful models of her generation.
In 2018, she topped Forbes‘ list of the highest-paid models in the world.
Her huge social media following earns her a buck or 2 too!
It is rumored that Kendall charges up to $700,000 for a sponsored post.
The star has dated multiple NBA players, including Blake Griffin.
She also dated Ben Simmons from 2018 to 2020.
Since then, Kendall has been dating basketball Devin Brooker.
However, the pair are reported to have split earlier this year.
The other Jenner sister is none other than Kylie, founder of the iconic beauty brand Kylie Cosmetics.
Although she is the youngest of the sisters, she is the one who has proven herself to have the most entrepreneurial spirit.
Her Kylie Lip Kits are extraordinarily popular.
She first began to sell them in 2014, before Kylie Cosmetics ballooned in size and began to produce a wider range of products.
However, the twenty-five-year-old has faced her fair share of controversy.
Particularly back in 2020 with Forbes’ declaration that she was the world’s youngest self-made billionaire.
The magazine then accused her of foraging tax documents which called her billionaire status into question.
They claimed that her business was worth substantially less than had been made out.
One of the star’s most significant relationships was with rapper Tyga.
Kylie featured in a couple of the musician’s music videos during the time they were together from 2015 to 2017.
The couple have 2 children together.
Stormi was born in 2018, and then they also welcomed a little boy in February this year.
The family is never too far from controversy…
For example, Kim received the wrath of online critics after she spoke out about the Balenciaga controversy.
The brand hit headlines after they posted images of children posing with BDSM-inspired teddy bear purses.
“We sincerely apologize for any offense our holiday campaign may have caused. Our plush bear bags should not have been featured with children in this campaign. We have immediately removed the campaign from all platforms,” the company wrote in a statement posted to its Instagram Story.
“We apologize for displaying unsettling documents in our campaign.
“We take this matter very seriously and are taking legal action against the parties responsible for creating the set and including unapproved items for our Spring 23 campaign photoshoot. We strongly condemn abuse of children in any form. We stand for children’s safety and well-being.”
However, following their statement, many were waiting for Kim Kardashian to speak up on the issue.
She’s a frequent collaborator with the brand and has worn their clothing at the Met Gala.
“I have been quiet for the past few days, not because I haven’t been shocked and outraged by the recent Balenciaga campaigns,” she wrote on Twitter.
“But because I wanted an opportunity to speak to their team to understand for myself how this could have happened.”
“As a mother of four, I have been shaken by the disturbing images.
“The safety of children must be held with the highest regard and any attempts to normalize child abuse of any kind should have no place in our society — period,” she continued.
“I appreciate Balenciaga’s removal of the campaigns and apology.
“In speaking with them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the issue and will take the necessary measures for this to never happen again,” the reality star added.
“As for my future with Balenciaga, I am currently re-evaluating my relationship with the brand, basing it off their willingness to accept accountability for something that should have never happened to begin with — and the actions I am expecting to see them take to protect children,” Kim concluded.
There’s no denying Kim’s been getting a lot of heat over the campaign.
And it seemed like her younger sister, Kylie, was trying to deflect the attention off of her.
Kylie took to Instagram to post some rare photos of her baby.
Since giving birth to their second child, Kylie and Travis Scott had kept relatively quiet about it.
At first, the posts seemed innocent, as millions of her followers adored the photos.
But some started to question why she opted to show her baby now of all times.
A TikTok user reposted Kylie’s photos to a video and referenced her and Kim’s mom, Kris Jenner in the video, writing: “Kris said… the name, face reveal will be too obvious. Here are some crumbs.”
The caption of the video wrote: “Since no one bought Kim Kardashian’s statements.”
After seeing the video, some fans came to the conclusion that the photos were a distraction to take the heat off Kim and the Balenciaga backlash.
Viewers rushed to the comment section to talk about it.
One user wrote: “Kim gets blast for Balenciaga so Kylie is gonna reveal her baby so we can deflect.”
“Balenciaga distraction. Kris is genius,” another added.
A third chimed: “Kris said Kim under pressure release a picture of your baby.”
A fourth commented: “I bet they were holding this in their back pocket for a crisis like this. Sad to think they’re played like pawns.”
Kylie hit back at the theories of a cover-up…
“Uh, whyyyyy would I post my child to cover up for Balenciaga?” Kylie wrote.
“This is why I don’t do this. Always something to say.”
Next, Kylie was slammed for something else entirely…
Kylie came under fire for throwing an Astroworld-themed birthday party for her kids Stormi and Aire.
For those who don’t remember, Astroworld was the festival thrown by Kylie’s partner, Travis Scott.
But back in November 2021, a crowd surge and crush caused the deaths of ten people at the event.
Which led many to criticize Kylie’s use of the theme for her kids’ birthday party.
One wrote: “Isn’t this tasteless after the Astroworld tragedy…..where children died…”
“The Astroworld-themed birthday of Stormi and Aire is reason enough to cancel them. 10 people died because of the Astroworld festival, one of those people being a 9-year-old little boy. Is this a joke ?” offered another.
Someone else commented: “They are mocking the victims at this point.”
“I cannot believe such disdain for human life lost.”
And soon after, Jenner addressed another controversy.
Her appearance!
Speaking with HommeGirls magazine, Kylie said: “I had really small lips, and I didn’t ever think about it until I had one of my first kisses and a guy said to me, ‘Oh my god, you’re such a good kisser, but you have such small lips,’ or something like that. From then on, I felt unkissable.”
“I had an insecurity because this guy said something to me one time,” she added. “Then I got an obsession with makeup because I would overline my lips and it just made me feel confident.”
“I see my features in my daughter and my son now, but you know, my daughter looks like me,” she went on. “I get to see my beauty in her, and it’s made me love myself more for sure. Beauty is always changing for me.”
“She’s perfect the way that she is,” Kylie said. “Be confident, always be confident in yourself.”
“I think a big misconception about me is that I’ve had so much surgery on my face and that I was some insecure person, and I really wasn’t!” she concluded.
But this week, Jenner is under scrutiny once more.
Because of a recent instagram post.
She took to her stories to show her support for Israel amid the continuing conflict with Palestine.
The post in question was initially shared by @standwithus, which read: “Now and always, we stand with the people of Israel.”
Her stance left some fans shocked, calling the post “divisive.”
One wrote: “Kylie Jenner reaction after realising she posted ‘I SUPPORT ISRAEL’ story assuming it new IG trend. Even without understanding the conflict dumbo prefer to stand in wrong side as usual.”
While another said: “Why people are so shocked to see Kylie Jenner supporting Israel? I mean do you really expect something good from her like seriously bruh,”
“Absolutely crazy to see Kylie Jenner supporting Israel while her friend Bella Hadid has been advocating for Palestine for YEARS like I’d be sick to my stomach,” a third said.
She later deleted the post.
However, the damage was already done, as she lost over 230,000 followers over the incident.
The news follows the BBC’s report that on Saturday, Hamas conducted a number of attacks beyond the Gaza Strip, marking the greatest escalation in the situation in decades.
According to figures from Palestinian authorities, Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip have resulted in at least 313 fatalities and close to 2,000 injuries. Additionally, 300 people have died in Israel, and scores of Israeli military personnel who are suspected of committing war crimes have been kidnapped.
