Kylie Jenner Responds To Accusations of Wearing Blackface For a Photo Shoot

by 4/5/2015

Kylie Jenner is no stranger to controversy when it comes to her Instagram, and her latest photos have followers angry. On Saturday she posted questionable snaps from a recent photo shoot that resembles the controversial blackface to many. In the photos, she’s sporting heavy, dark makeup, and captioned the image, “What I wish I looked like all the time.”

She quickly deleted the photo after the initial backlash, but soon uploaded another with a caption responding to the situation, “This is a black light and neon lights people lets all calm down.”

Of course fans took out their anger on Twitter.

Mom Kris Jenner supported her daughter by reposting the photo.

Unfortunately, Kylie isn’t the only celebrity to have been accused of donning blackface. Check out the rest in the gallery below.
