Kendall Jenner teased that she had a big announcement for fans, which was sold as a “raw story” about some very personal struggles she has faced.
But now the reality television star turned model is under fire after the story turned out to be about her battle with acne and the announcement was really an advertisement for acne cream. As the Daily Mail reported, “momager” Kris Jenner had promoted Kendall’s story on her Twitter page, saying the announcement would help Kendall’s young followers. When that really turned out to be a ploy to sell acne medication and an announcement that she was a spokesperson for ProActiv, fans turned on Kendall.
As the Daily Mail noted, social media filled with anger toward Kendall and the entire Jenner-Kardashian clan, with many calling it a cheap cry for attention. Others said that the way it was presented, as a raw and emotional story, was particularly deceptive.
