Kylie Jenner is being encouraged to read the room following the drop of her latest Kylie Cosmetics promo.
Over the weekend, she posted a short video on Instagram showing her getting arrested.
The video showed the reality star-turned-billionaire beauty mogul clad in a black leather bra, matching micro-shorts, silver hip chains, sheer black tights, and black pointed-toe heels.
Her long, dark, wavy locks — with teal highlights — cascaded down her shoulders, and she sported smoldering makeup.
Handcuffed, Jenner, 28, strutted down the hallway of a jail or prison in slow motion as two police officers walked behind her on either side.
“King Kylie. Tomorrow,” flashed across the screen as a woman was heard whispering the words.
“King Kylie” refers to Jenner’s rebellious style in 2015 — the year she launched her Lip Kits that developed into the empire she has today.
Some fans were excited about the return of Jenner’s most memorable era, writing things like, “Oh we’re back big time!!!!”
But others blasted the “Kardashians” star for the artistic route she took for the visual.
“The nation’s in turmoil, with citizens being taken by power-hungry rogue enforcers, while Kylie Jenner releases a handcuffed hot-pants photo shoot to promote COSMETICS. This isn’t satire; it’s American decay,” commented an irate Reddit user, pointing to the ongoing ICE raids across the US.
An additional critic responded, “lol as if she could even grasp what the people she imitates are experiencing. this is unbelievably gross, and i didn’t even consider how deeply out of touch this was until i read your post’s title. you’re absolutely right.”
A third dissenter called the ad “actually gross.”
Another person speculated whether Jenner was “attempting to recreate the same controversy [her sister] Kendall [Jenner] faced with the ill-conceived Pepsi ad???”
In the infamous commercial in question, Kendall, 29, quelled a confrontation at a protest by presenting a cop a can of soda.
Others pointed to the various nationwide “No Kings” protests against what demonstrators feel are the authoritarian policies of President Trump.
“Moreover, does it seem strange to anyone else that there have been ‘No Kings’ protests nationwide, and she releases a shoot titled ‘King Kylie’ with the depicted imagery mentioned by the OP [original poster]?” another observer questioned.
Reps for Kylie did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
