The backlash from Kylie Jenner’s cosmetics line to Kendall’s tequila ad, Kardashian’s biggest business scandal

2021-11-16 20:38:31 By : Mr. Raymond Ge

The Kardashians are no strangers to controversy, and their numerous business ventures have experienced strong opposition.

Kylie Jenner's creepy makeup series photos and Kendall Jenner's strong opposition to the tequila brand are just two of the failures of this famous family business.

When the sex tape between King and 40-year-old Ray J was leaked, the Kardashian family was officially introduced to the world.

Although this videotape was taken in 2002 when they were a couple, it was not leaked in 2007.

A few months later, 41-year-old Kim and her famous family began to star in "Walk with Kardashian."

Although this videotape is not a traditional business venture, it is undeniable that the scandal helped Jin and her family soar into the sky.

Although it happened nearly 20 years ago, Kim is still often asked about the notorious sex tape.

During the KUWTK reunion in June, the mother of four admitted that she wanted to "erase" past recordings.

As early as 2017, Kim faced strong opposition for appearing to darken his skin in the advertisement of his KKW brand contour suit.

The skin tone of the TV personality appeared so dark that some fans even accused her of having a dark face.

King later talked about this controversy in an interview with The New York Times in June 2017. He said: “I obviously never want to offend anyone.

"I used an amazing photographer and a group of people.

"When we took these images, I was really tanned, maybe the contrast dropped."

She continued: Of course, I respect why people feel this way.

"But we made the necessary changes to that photo and the rest.

"We saw the problem, we adapted and changed immediately.

"Of course, I learned a lesson from it."

In an episode of KUWTK, Kim continues to resolve disputes.

After learning about the strong opposition, she told the camera: "I saw these photos from the campaign, the photos we took, and everyone on the Internet was saying that I was making a black face, but in a million years I will never fail. Respect and do it."

Also in 2017, 24-year-old Kylie and 26-year-old Kendall were sued after their clothing brand Kendall Kylie released a series of "vintage" T-shirts.

Faded shirts are printed with images of the faces of Kendall and Kylie, which are superimposed on famous musicians, including Tupac, The Doors, Biggie Smalls and Ozzy Ozbourne.

Although this line was strongly opposed and accused of "disrespecting" the musician, the drama continued when photographer Michael Miller later sued the star.

Michael photographed the image of Tupac on one of the shirts and accused Kendall and Kelly of using the image without his permission. 

According to a report in Rolling Stone Magazine, the photographer claimed that they "misappropriated and misused" the photos and "planned to use his photographic work."

The sisters disputed the allegations and claimed that they were allowed to use the photos. 

The lawsuit was finally dropped in 2018, but the details of the settlement were not announced.

The Washington Post reported that the Jenners also received restraining orders from The Doors Manor, Notorious BIG's mother, and Ozzy's wife Sharon Osbourne.

Khloe Kardashian, 37, encountered strong opposition when he launched a YouTube channel called Khlo-CD in 2018.

The name of the channel refers to obsessive-compulsive disorder, a mental health disorder that affects 2.2 million adults in the United States.

According to Cosmopolitan, Khloe has used this controversial term in videos since 2015.

Although many fans requested the KUWTK star to change the channel name on social media, Kohler never seemed to resolve the strong opposition and eventually stopped sharing videos on the channel.

In 2019, when Kim announced her new shapewear brand, Kimono, she faced controversy again.

Kim came up with the name of the brand because of her own name, and was soon accused of cultural misappropriation, and was criticized for being indifferent to the importance of kimono in Japanese culture.

After a strong opposition from fans, Kim resolved the dispute in an interview with The Wall Street Journal in 2019.

"You would think we would obviously think about it more deeply," she said at the time.

"I was the first to say,'Well, of course, I can't believe we didn't think of this.'

"I obviously have very innocent intentions.

"But let's listen. I want to really listen. I want to really accept all of this. I do like Japan."

Kim finally launched her slim underwear line SKIMS in August 2019.

In May 2019, Kylie Skin released a walnut facial scrub, Kylie met with strong opposition.

In the advertisement of the product, Kelly claimed that it can be used "every day".

She added: "It is mild enough to be used every day. I recommend using it two to three times a week. This is the number of times I use it.

"Some walnut facial scrubs are a bit irritating to the skin. It's not too abrasive, it really makes my skin feel super soft. [...] My walnut facial scrub is my secret to refreshing."

However, Kelly's statement was refuted by the dermatologist.

According to a report by Insider, a dermatologist stated that the "fine walnut powder" found in the scrub may be too abrasive to be used on delicate facial skin.

It is also believed that the product may be harmful to the people who use it.

"Physical scrubs can cause minimal trauma to the skin, especially if it is overused," dermatologist Catherine Sozi told the media. 

Kendall encountered strong opposition when he appeared in a controversial Pepsi ad in 2017.

In the ad, Kendall handed a can of Pepsi to a policeman in an attempt to end the protest.

Many fans lashed out at this ad, believing that it seemed to be an understatement of the "Black People's Fate" movement, and it was called "Deaf and Mute".

Kendall later resolved the dispute in the KUWTK series.

She said with tears: "I trust everyone. I trust the team.

"But after I saw the reaction and read people's comments on it, I was pretty sure I saw what went wrong.

"I am stuck, I really don't know what to do, I am completely closed."

As early as 2017, Kendall was reportedly paid $275,000, and the Instagram post used to promote the Fyre Music Festival has now been deleted.

The music event received widespread attention in 2017 due to its large number of advertisements and bold promises of luxury vacations with first-class entertainment.

The highly anticipated spectacle staged by hip-hop artist Ja Rule attracted global media attention after it was never realized.

In August 2019, Kendall was sued by the United States Bankruptcy Court in New York, which has been recovering funds for investors who lost money due to the holiday.

In court documents obtained by TMZ, the lawsuit alleges that the money constituted a fraudulent transfer because she was paid to promote something the organizer never achieved.

According to the media, the judge in the KUWTK star case has not yet signed the settlement clause.

She eventually paid a legal settlement of US$90,000 for participating in the festival, which she allegedly believed was a "small price" for the "disastrous defeat."

Many people have been negatively affected by the coronavirus pandemic, many have lost their jobs, and others have become ill.

However, the difficult times did not stop Khloe from promoting her Good American brand.

As early as April 2020, Khloe advertised a promotional event for the clothing company she co-founded in 2016. Most of the company's products retailed for more than $150.

In addition to the promotional video, the mother wrote: "For a limited time, you can buy my favorite styles on @goodamerican for a 30% discount!"

Khloe added on Instagram: "Everything is different now. So we changed the price because you deserve something extra."

Despite the discounts, many fans said that the high prices are too high-especially during the global pandemic.

In addition to the 41-year-old sister Kourtney’s gif, a fan wrote on Twitter: “Most of us can’t live anymore. I know your company’s revenue may have fallen. , It's bad, but...

"There will be no malice against you in any way, but can you raise awareness of those who need it most?" they added.

"It's still too much...seriously, it's not the time to promote "sale". Most people don't have money to buy jeans now..." someone wrote with an angry face emoji.

Kendall faced backlash in May 2021, when fans criticized the model for advertising her tequila brand 818.

In the ad, Kendall wore a pair of stained jeans, a white short top and an oversized button that was not used in the new product ad.

The model is also wearing a cowboy hat on her back, a tie around her neck, and two braids of her long brown hair.

Throughout the advertising photos and commercials, Kendall walked across the fields, smiling and holding her tequila, posing with a horse, and showing some workers in the field.

A fan lashed out at her, writing: "This is the ad. Insulting and offending @KendallJenner, haven't you learned from Pepsi's fiasco?"

"Let the workers work in the fields, and you are looking down on them as if you own them. It is disgusting and deafening."

Another wrote: “Am I the only Mexican who thinks @KendallJenner uses her new @818Tequila ad to play a hell colonizer? It’s very, very suitable for cultural resonance.”

When the Texas company Tequila 512 lashed out at Kendall on Instagram, Kendall quickly became more controversial. The photo shows a confused customer asking about the similarities between the brands. information.

"Are you still someone plagiarizing you?" A buyer named Aaron asked about 512 and the photo of the two bottles side by side. 

Tequila 512 and Kendall's 818 have similar large and thick black fonts, which start from the top of the bottle and shrink to the bottom. 

There is only a rectangular yellow backing on the back of the brand, allowing the text to pop out on the transparent glass-they are packed in similarly shaped bottles. 

These names are similar and derived from the same inspiration-512 is the area code for Austin, Texas, where the company is located, and 818 is the Calabasas area code for Kendall's residence.

In the title, 512 further attacked 818 when it was pointed out that the KUWTK stars used the exact same agave farm and winery they used in Jalisco, Mexico.

They wrote: "You may have seen @kendalljenner released a'new' tequila today. 

"Pay attention to their similarities, including color and name. It is produced in the same winery that we use for tequila in Mexico. 

"Their batch was distilled twice. Ours tripled. However, she charged twice as much per bottle. 

"Here, we received a message similar to the picture in this post. It doesn't look very cool. What do you think?"

According to reports, tequila requires at least a second distillation, but higher quality brands, such as 512, will complete this process for the third time. 

In August 2021, when a TikToker named "Cheeto Puff Bar" shared a clip of a KUWTK star talking about overweight people in an interview with Jay Shetty in 2019, Khloe became a target of critics.

In the clip, Kohler said: "I can't stand the people who eat a bucket of Haagen-Dazs ice cream, they are like [ridicule]'I'm too fat.'

"It's like, they won't exercise, they won't change their diet, they won't drink more water, they won't..."

TikTok users added their own thoughts at the end of the editing, and said to the camera: "I can't stand people who complain about hating fat people."

TikToker captioned the video: "Yes, come to your mother, she embarrassed herself."

Critics quickly lashed out at Kohler in the comments, and one of the articles wrote: “When she can receive plastic surgery, she can say it easily.”

Another added: “When one of her photos that was not processed by Photoshop was leaked, she was actually the one who was crying.”

Kylie showed off the Nightmare series inspired by Elm Street on Instagram in early October, wearing a flame-printed jumpsuit and supporting platform.

Although Kylie Cosmetics' new series, Kylie added a title to this hot shot: "KYLIE X NIGHTMARE on Elm Street."

"Aha, it's great to work with horror idols!"

Freddy Krueger is the creepy protagonist in the 1984 cult horror film "Nightmare on Elm Street". He stalked and killed people in his dreams.

Just a few hours before the line was revealed, Kelly stripped naked and smeared "blood" on herself in a creepy Halloween video.

Although many people are excited about this creepy collaboration, others don't believe that Freddy Kruger's look is something they want to emulate.

A netizen commented: "I've been laughing at'Kelly Cosmetics' working with Nightmare on Elm Street'"

The second responded to the statement saying: "Elm Street x Kelly's nightmare...no no no no no no no no no"

The third simply answered: "This is a no."
