Don’t blame another racially insensitive blunder on Kendall Jenner!
The KUWTK starlet is denying any involvement with a VERY obviously photoshopped image of her protesting in support of Black Lives Matter that went viral over the weekend.

The photo in question was apparently discovered on the supermodel’s Facebook account and seemingly shows her posing for the camera with a BLM sign. Except it wasn’t hard for fans to notice a few things were off in the shot — specifically, Kendall’s warped hands and the fact that her sign did not appear to have a shadow behind her. This is a classic photoshop fail, y’all, and definitely something the KarJenners have been accused of before!
The pic spread like wildfire online, with many outraged social media users calling out the 24-year-old for phoning in her support for the movement.
this right here is the scandal of 2020 come on @KendallJenner you should be ashamed y’all taking photoshop to the next level.😡 https://t.co/9jwq1LVhOi

Kendall Jenner photoshopping a sign in her hands is a pretty good indication of how seriously people should take celebrity opinions pic.twitter.com/dnpAbM6EhX

Other twitics slammed the starlet across the platform, writing:
“Kendall Jenner poorly photoshopping a sign into her hands is so laughable. You want to steal as much as you can from black culture but can’t even be bothered to actively attend a protest properly. We all know she probably went for the picture and then left again.”
“@KendallJenner stop photoshopping signs into your pictures and actually use your platform to do some good.”
Some people also used the controversy as an opportunity to mock Jenner’s tone-deaf Pepsi ad from 2017, in which she (foolishly) attempted to ease tensions between communities of color and law enforcement with a can of soda.

The internet is swift and ruthless in handing out punishment when our favorite celebs screw up, but as we touched on earlier, this was all just one big embarrassing mistake!
A quick search will show that FB account claiming to be Kendall was actually fake — her real page has a completely different name (not “20K”), profile pic, and hasn’t been updated since May 20. She later hopped on Twitter to deny the photo’s validity:
“this is photoshopped by someone. i DID NOT post this.”

So, yeah. Major false alarm! We love a good call-out as much as everyone else, but it certainly pays to be extra careful before claiming to have receipts of shitty behavior! It seems like whoever came up with this idea to fake the shot and troll Kris Jenner‘s daughter nearly succeeded.

This all comes just days after Kenny used her Instagram platform to denounce systemic racism, acknowledge her white privilege, and vow to influence positive change in the wake of George Floyd‘s death:
“raging on platforms can not be all that we do in order to repair the system, we need to take real action, off of social media. this is a time to have those uncomfortable conversations with people and mainly with ourselves. we must also make sure we are ready to vote when the time comes to elect the right people into office.
the one truth that will always ring loudest is that BLACK LIVES MATTER. “
Let’s focus on more of this energy and leave the internet trolling for another time, please!
