Interview magazine defends Kylie Jenner wheelchair photo shoot
She said: “There is absolutely a side of me that people don’t know”.
Meanwhile Kylie raised some eyebrows in her latest controversial photo shoot for Interview magazine.
‘It’s deeply disturbing, ‘ Emily Smith Beitiks, associate director of the Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability told CNN.
The fetish outfits Kylie is sporting for the shoot, combined with her blank expression, led to comparisons with a sex doll.
And although she’s always photo-ready when she’s out-and-about in public, Kylie doesn’t rely on a makeup artist to do up her face as she prefers to put her own spin on her look. ‘People with disabilities are already seen as powerless, and this just reinforces that.
Kylie Jenner has caused controversy with a magazine cover shoot showing her posing in a wheelchair.
“You can not both condemn and mock us for using wheelchairs when you let abled people use them for ‘FASHION.’ It’s DISGUSTING”, one Twitter user wrote.
They highlight the often devalued portrayal of disabled people in popular culture and the vanishingly small role of the disabled in fashion and entertainment, she said.
The Kardashian-Jenner matriarch first set tongues wagging last month after she was spotted with some major bling on her ring finger, and now she’s been spotted wearing it again a month later.
Three months later, teen star Amandla Stenberg called out Jenner for cultural appropriation after she posted a photo of herself wearing cornrows on Instagram.
“What I think is so fantastic about having everything, and feeling like I have everything, is that I don’t really find happiness within materialistic things”, she told the publication.
‘The Kylie Jenner cover by Steven Klein, which references the British artist Allen Jones, is a part of this tradition, placing Kylie in a variety of positions of power and control and exploring her image as an object of vast media scrutiny, ‘ the statement continued.
“As someone in a wheelchair @KylieJenner @InterviewMag, this is offensive”.
The California beauty’s hair was silky black in her photo shoot, but she recently unveiled her newly colored locks in time for the Holiday season.
