Reality TV star Kendall Jenner isn’t desperate for money. The model has reportedly blocked adult site Pornhub following a public offer.
Jenner shut down Pornhub from following her on Twitter after getting offered to work together.
Yesterday, soda giant Pepsi issued a public apology to Kendall Jenner following a disastrous commercial.
Hours prior, the ad went viral and showed Jenner using a Pepsi can to bring peace to a protest.
The ad shows Jenner, 21, ditching her high-fashion photo shoot to join the masses and then appearing to bring an end to the protest by sharing a Pepsi with a police officer. When the officer drinks the Pepsi, the crowd erupts in applause. A description of the ad on Pepsi Global’s YouTube channel describes the commercial as “a short film about the moments when we decide to let go, choose to act, follow our passion and nothing holds us back.” (ABC News)
The ad immediately sparked widespread outrage from social media users over Pepsi’s bad taste in jacking the Black Lives Matter movement for profits.
I'm boycotting all @Pepsi products until they apologize for this blasphemy. Here's a list of their brands: https://t.co/9Rf91nLVyX pic.twitter.com/HsvUvj27Bl

shocked + confused why @pepsi and @KendallJenner EVER thought this would be an effective/powerful ad campaign. Tasteless and offensive

The new @pepsi ad with @KendallJenner is stupefyingly diabolical.
Absurd, PC-crazed, virtue-signalling, snowflake claptrap. pic.twitter.com/SA9RRanGNo— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 4, 2017

This Pepsi ad is so unrealistic. Those protesters would have been Dr. Pepper Sprayed. https://t.co/oNjjtm6eFu

Could you be any more blatant with the disrespect and appropriation of a movement, @pepsi? Is this a sick joke?! pic.twitter.com/8NS8ynJUdj
