Kendall Jenner would rather kill haters with kindness

A member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan is once again being racked with controversy. In an IG post by Love magazine, supermodel Kendall Jenner was quoted saying: “Since the beginning we’ve been super selective about what shows I would do. I was never one of those girls who would do like 30 shows a season or whatever the f*ck those girls do. More power to ’em. But I had a million jobs, not only catwalks but everything else. The whole combination was very overwhelming and I started to freak out a little bit and needed to take a step back.”

The statement has since been slammed by fellow models. Some feel being referred to as “one of those girls” was derogatory. Others point out that they do those things, because unlike Kendall, they can’t afford to be “super selective.”

Kendall’s reps have responded by saying that “It’s not what she meant. The quote was taken out of context. Mid-thought she realized the number of shows some models walk a season is closer to 80. The point was that it’s their path and ‘the more power to them.’ She admires their hard work and dedication. It’s an accomplishment.”

Kendall, on the other hand, simply responded by posting a simple photo on her IG stories of Shel Silverstein’s poem “Hug O’ War” with the phrase “Be Nice.”
