Kendall and Kylie Jenner"s Vintage T-Shirts Shut Down, The Doors Are Ready to Sue
Kendall and Kylie Jenner’s vintage t-shirt line pissed off rock legend band The Doors, and now the iconic group’s going to sue. Lawyers for the band fired off a cease and desist letter to the Jenner sisters over the gear … which features…
Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner: Destroyed by the Osbournes!
Kendall Jenner probably wishes she were starring in another Pepsi commercial right about now.
At least the reality star could blame her management team and the company behind that product for the much-maligned ad.
But Kendall and sister Kylie Jenner are the ones who have affixed their names to their fashion label and they’re the ones facing every ounce of criticism for a recent, extremely poor decision.
In case you have not heard about it by now…
… Kendall and Kylie released a line of t-shirts this week from their “Rap vs. Rock” collection.
The pieces of attire featured Kendall or Kylie’s faces superimposed over the heads of such musical icons as Tupac Shakur, Biggie Smalls, Metallica and Michael Jackson.
Yes, these items really are as distasteful as they sound.
They earned an immediate rebuke from Biggie’s mother, who wanted to make it VERY clear that no one associated with her son’s estate played any role in the creation of these shirts.
She also wanted to make it very clear to the Jenners just how inappropriate their actions in this case were.
“The disrespect of these girls to not even reach out to me or anyone connected to the estate baffles me,” wrote Voletta Wallace on Twitter, adding:
“I have no idea why they feel they can exploit the deaths of 2pac and my Son Christopher to sell a t-shirt.
“This is disrespectful, disgusting and exploitation at its worst!”
This sums it up as well as can be.
Even after the Jenners apologized (below), Biggie’s estate basically said it wasn’t enough. Some sort of legal action may still ensue.
And even if nothing else comes of this scandal in a legal sense, Kylie and Kendall will continue to feel the wrath of those in disbelief that they’d appropriate such cultural icons in this manner.
For example, among the musicians whose face is covered by a Jenner for this clothing line is Ozzy Osbourne.
And you better believe wife Sharon and daughter Kelly have something to say about that.
“Girls, you haven’t earned the right to put your face with musical icons,” wrote Sharon as a caption to the above image, concluding with the perfect kicker:
“Stick to what you know…lip gloss.”
Kelly Osbourne, meanwhile, simply mentioned her “#CurrentMood” on Instagram, letting her own unique image do all the talking:
And then there’s Paris Jackson, who is friendly with Kendall… but who is also pissed.
“as a huge fan of zeppelin, the doors, floyd.. i mean these bands literally helped shape who i am today,” she wrote in a series of Tweets that also read as follows:
“i can’t condone this ‘fashion.’ legends like these who completely changed our world today, not just the music world, should be respected and honored. not turned into this…
“pink floyd is not chanel. led zeppelin is not michael kors. metallica is not givenchy. don’t get it twisted. #bandsnotbrands #RESPECTMUSIC.”
The reactions from the Osbournes and from Jackson came not long after Kendall issued a mea culpa on social media.
It reads:
These designs were not well thought out and we deeply apologize to anyone that has been upset and/or offended, especially to the families of the artists.
We are huge fans of their music and it was not our intention to disrespect these cultural icons in any way.
The tee shirts have been pulled from retail and all images have been removed.
We will use this as an opportunity to learn from theses mistakes, and again we are very sorry.
The only real positive out of this for Kylie is that it’s given the Internet something to talk about other than her fairly obvious boob job.
Just look at the following evidence!
Kendra Wilkinson Confronts Mother: Stop Talking About Me!
Doesn’t it seem like it would be completely exhausting to be Kendra Wilkinson?
To have all that dumb stuff floating around in your head constantly … it just seems like it would be rough.
On top of the unrelenting ignorance, Kendra has to deal with her marriage to Hank Baskett, which, to be fair, seems really solid at times.
Other times, he cheats on her with a transgender model and she flushes her wedding ring down the toilet.
And then, on top of that, she’s also got her truly terrible mother, Patti Wilkinson, constantly trying to ruin her life.
Kendra and Patti are no strangers to sharing their troubled relationship with the world: Patti appeared on Kendra’s season of Marriage Boot Camp with Hank Baskett.
You remember, that’s when Kendra theorized that the devil had eaten her mother’s soul.
We’ve seen Patti make an appearance here and there on Kendra’s own show, Kendra on Top, and they both appeared on the most recent season of Marriage Boot Camp, the Reality Stars Family Edition.
And now the brand new season of Kendra on Top seems to focus largely on their issues.
See what we mean about how exhausting it would be to be Kendra Wilkinson?
As we’ve seen from the trailers for Kendra on Top, the big problem right now is that Patti is considering writing a tell-all about her daughter.
It’s something that Kendra is really, really not cool with, which is totally fair.
But in tonight’s new episode, the ladies are sitting down for a therapy session to try and come to terms with some of their issues.
And, in typical Wilkinson fashion, it’s hard to watch.
During the session, the therapist sits Kendra and Patti down in a couple of chairs facing each other, which makes Patti “feel like I’m going to the electric chair.”
Great start, right?
After sitting down and grabbing each other’s hands, the therapist asks Kendra to complete the sentence “The thing that you did that hurt me the most was …”
Understandably, Kendra tells her mother that what hurt her the most was “going to social media with our issues.”
“I really didn’t see a way to come back from that because I didn’t know what would be used against me in the future,” she admits.
Later, in that customary reality show interview, Kendra tells the camera that “Being this upfront and honest with my mom is really, really uncomfortable and scary for me to do.”
“But I have to be honest. When my mom goes public and goes on social media, sells me out, it feels like a straight-up knife in the back. It hurts.”
Back in the therapy session, Patti is asked about her true motivation for writing a tell-all about Kendra … and Kendra looks really interested in her response.
“The reason that I really want to write this book,” she claims, “is I’ve gotten a lot of messages from people saying ‘Oh my gosh, I’m going through this with my daughter, how did you get through it?"”
And that, she says, is the only reason she’d write such a book.
Kendra says that she could be supportive of her mother writing a book with the intent to help others, but “at the end of the day, there’s just so many questions that would haunt me.”
Questions like “Why did I buy that lame excuse?” and “Why would I believe my mother has good intentions after all these years?”, probably.
Kendra tells Patti that she’s just scared that a book would set their relationship back after putting so much work into it, then, in an interview of her own, Patti says she’s already got a meeting with a publisher.
So much for being open and honest.
All this nonsense makes for good drama, but man, it sure is heartbreaking to see.
