Kendall Jenner’s much hyped big announcement has been blasted online after the model announced she is selling SPOT cream.
Fans labelled the highly anticipated ‘raw story’ as a ‘pathetic cry for attention’ after it saw the model unveiled as the new spokesperson for ProActiv.
Her momager Kris Jenner had promised the story posted to her Twitter account on Sunday night would help her young followers.
But fans were left scratching their heads, as the model, who is thought to have a net worth of $30 million, was unveiled as the news spokesperson for ProActiv.
And Kris Jenner was slammed over the family’s shameless self promotion in wake of sharp ratings drop for their show.
One fan wrote: ‘You’re joking me. This is the ‘big announcement’? This is a pathetic cry for attention. @KrisJenner.’
Another added: ‘Women are coming forward every day about being victims to rape, sexual assault, abuse etc and Kendall Jenner is gonna hype up and announce her problem with acne.’
One person called the ‘whole family just truly disgusting’, tweeting: ‘Kris Jenner should be ashamed of herself for hyping this nonsense in the manner she did! This whole family just truly disgusting!
‘Real life issues out there like coming out or crippling disorders that keep you from leaving the house & she comes up with those ridiculous hashtags.’
