Reality TV star Kylie Jenner has outraged social media users and fans for posing in a wheelchair in a sexy magazine photo shoot.
The images, published Monday on Interview magazine’s website, feature the 18-year-old reality TV personality wearing fetish outfits. Fans quickly blasted Jenner on social media for what many claimed was extreme insensitivity on her part.https://twitter.com/zaraisfierce/status/671716188423127040
Jenner says in the accompanying interview that her “worst fear is waking up and finding something bad about me on the Internet”.
“I have, like, a problem,” Jenner told the magazine. “I wake up every morning at, like, seven or eight because I think that there’s a bad story about me, and I have to check.”
Ironically, Jenner re-posted a photo of a disabled woman to her Instagram page last week as part of her anti-bullying #IAmMoreThan campaign. The woman had captioned her photo “#IAmMoreThan my wheelchair.”
