Kylie Jenner being irresponsible? Say it ain’t so!
The boot strap billionaire returned to what she does best over the weekend: showing off on Instagram.
In case you missed it, the beauty mogul was apparently VERY sick last week, so bad it forced her to miss multiple public events.
First she wasn’t with sisters Kim Kardashian West and Kendall Jenner at the Emmy Awards, which, well… bullet dodged actually.

Then she had to cancel her much more fun trip to Paris Fashion Week, where she was scheduled to launch her latest Kylie Cosmetics collab during the Balmain show. She apologized to her fans in an IG post, confirming she had been sick:
“Hi guys! So as you know, I was getting ready to go to Paris for the Balmain show at Paris Fashion Week for the launch of my makeup collab with Olivier [Rousteing]. Unfortunately I’m really sick and unable to travel. I’m heartbroken to be missing this show, but I know that my amazing team, and my friends who are in town for the event, will help me be there in spirit. Creating this collection with Olivier has been a dream. Of course this collection isn’t just for the runway.. I created this so that you could have a piece of this once in a lifetime event.”
TMZ even reported she was hospitalized after suffering what sources were calling a “severe illness.” While no diagnosis was ever confirmed, the bug reportedly presented with “flu-like” symptoms.
According to the Mayo Clinic, flu symptoms include:
- Fever over 100.4 F (38 C)
- Aching muscles
- Chills and sweats
- Headache
- Dry, persistent cough
- Fatigue and weakness
- Nasal congestion
- Sore throat
We don’t know which of these she was suffering, but the report also specifically mentioned dizziness and nausea.
It just all sounds awful, right?
Well, that brings us back to this weekend. After that kind of week, you’d think she’d be recuperating at home, regaining her strength.
Instead she was right back on the ‘gram, posting videos showing off how great her body was looking:
And…
OK, let’s talk about that caption. Kylie wrote on the closeup of her super sleek abs:
“OK my body is really pulling the f**k through these days”
Something tells us she wasn’t talking about how hale and hearty she was despite being sick. (That something was the angle of the camera.)
So basically she was in the hospital for a severe flu-like bug, got out, looked at her post-illness body and said NOT BAD — and decided to post braggy videos showing it off.
Does anyone else have a problem with that?
We mean, gurl has 147 million followers, many of whom are impressionable, insecure young people. And she just showed them how good she looks post illness. They can do the math on that. It’s not hard to see how some of them could look at how great Kylie looks and think, “Hey maybe I should get the flu.”
The flu and similar sicknesses kill people. They aren’t diet fads.
We’d absolutely give Kylie the benefit of the doubt that she wasn’t trying to advertise getting severe illness as a weight loss aid, but she may have been doing so regardless.
What do YOU think, Perezcious readers? Are we overreacting? Or does Kylie have a greater responsibility to think about what she’s posting to a following the size of the population of Russia??
