Kylie Jenner Instagram: The 'KUWTK' Star Fires Back At Critics On Her Latest Instagram Photos! Did She Really Go Blackface In Her Latest Photo Shoot?
Looks like Kylie Jenner stirred conversation on social media once again with a controversial post, but this time it's about her lips.
Since her latest post, talks of Kylie Jenner's lips on the photo-sharing website, Instagram, have been muted. On Saturday, April 4, the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star posted a series of shots on her Instagram where she has been accused of wearing blackface.
According to NYDailyNews, the 17-year-old model posted photos from a new, highly-stylized photo shoot and captioned it:
"What I wish I looked like all the time."
Some on social media immediately took notice of the reality star's apparently darker skin color and that the photo was soon deleted. While others questioned the look as simply being metallic silver makeup, some described the look as "blackface" and quickly shared their disapproval over the shoot, according to E! News.
After showing support for Jenner's look initially, encouraging her in the form of several clapping hands emojis, Disney Channel star Zendaya later changed her mind in the wake of the commotion.
Zendaya explained, "I didn't see it like that at first," before adding, "My baaaaadddd."
However, it's unclear whether celebs are actually slamming the reality star or defending her. Karrueche Tran even spoke out regarding Kylie's controversial snaps by tweeting, "You're beautiful just as you are girl @KylieJenner !"
Tran further added that nobody needs to wish they look like anything as all are individually beautiful in their own way.
Tyga's rumored girlfriend has been stirring conversation on the photo-sharing website by sharing with her 19.5 million followers some raunchy selfies. On March 30, the 17-year-old showed off some serious curves in a strappy black bikini, surprising her Instagram followers.
The youngest member of the Kardashian clan responded to the accusations of "blackface" by sharing two different images from the shoot, People noted. She asked everyone to calm down in her other post, explaining that it was simply a black light and neon lights.
Less than two hours after posting the controversial photo, the "KUWTK" star was back on social media. Kylie posted a selfie in what seems to be the inside of the family home. The reality star showed off her figure without any caption.
No details were shared on what the photo shoot was specifically for.
