Some fans are not thrilled with the way Kendall and Kylie Jenner have been responding to the
coronavirus outbreak on social media.
What’s up guys?
It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News and don’t worry Clevver isn’t going anywhere!
We are still going to be delivering you all the celebrity news that you need to know,
we are just continuing to work from home and social distance to do our part in preventing
the spread of Coronavirus.
And while we are all trying to do our part, some fans don’t think Kendall and Kylie
are doing the same.
They’ve also been accused of not taking precautionary measures seriously like social
distancing and not touching their faces.
In case you aren’t up to date, the World Health Organization has reported that hundreds
of thousands of people around the globe have contracted the coronavirus.
So medical professionals have called for “social distancing” to prevent further spreading
of the illness.
People have been asked to avoid public spaces and quarantine themselves during this time.
But fans are concerned that Kendall isn’t taking social distancing seriously.
Last week, Kendall took to Instagram and posted a photo of herself with some friends hanging
out.
Her caption was just a planet emoji so fans obviously had questions.
It wasn’t clear where they were hanging out or if these are the friends Kendall is
quarantined with, so her followers were quick to criticize her for not following the request
of medical professionals.
Some even said Kendall was taking the coronavirus pandemic “mildly.”
One fan wrote quote, “saying nothing about coronavirus and just hanging with friends
(aka not social distancing)?
This just seems out of touch”
Another wrote quote, “is this even social distancing?
@kendalljenner looks like you’re taking this pretty mildly.”
Another added, “by just posting pics with friends like this and not saying a word about
what's going on in the world, you're setting a bad example for your millions of fans.”
But it wasn’t just Kendall who received heat from fans.
Her sister Kylie has also faced some backlash.
Kylie posted this photo on her Instagram and while it may look harmless at first, fans
weren’t thrilled about one small detail.
Let’s get a closer look…
There it is, her finger is in her mouth.
Despite medical professionals telling people to keep their hands away from their face in
order to prevent themselves from getting sick, Kylie posted this pic with her finger in her
mouth.
And her fans were quick to call her out on it.
One person wrote quote, “Hands clean?
Not ideal to touch your face”
Another said quote, “is your finger really in your mouth?
Let’s not try to be cute, we tryna stop a global pandemic sis.”
But even with the backlash, Kylie has been trying to encourage her fans to stay home
during this time.
On her IG stories she said quote, “Practice social distancing, self quarantine.
If you live with your parents, you don’t want to go home and get your parents sick.
You might have it and not even know and be infecting other people.
It’s serious, and the only way that we’re going to slow this down is if we do this because
there is not a cure right now.”
She went on to say that quote, “Nobody is immune to this.
Millennials are not immune to this.
New evidence actually shows that a large percentage in the hospital right now are young adults.
I love you guys.
We’re going to get through this together.
We just have to listen to each other, respect each other, self quarantine.”
But even when Kylie does the right thing and encourages her young fans to stay home, trolls
find a way to drag her.
They are calling her out saying that it would be easy for everyone to stay if we had homes
like hers.
One person wrote quote, “Kylie really putting on her story how easy it is to stay inside
when her pool is BIGGER THAN MY HOUSE”
And another said quote, “3 girls bored quarantined in their 50 room mansion with an Olympic size
swimming pool, a bar, an auditorium sized movie theater, and 20 refridgerators with
sparkling water.”
And while it would be nice to have a house like Kylie’s right now, at least she is
telling her fans to do the right thing, rather than going out and setting a bad example.
Kylie has even admitted that she's already a champ at staying in.
Last week, she said quote, "I'm on day 8.
My pregnancy prepared me for this."
And she lent some advice from her pregnancy elective self isolation.
Kylie said quote, “I was scared to even go outside.
But it was my choice to do that so I never let myself get bored.
I watched movies, I read books.
I would do full spa days and take long baths."
Which honestly all sound like great ideas, I will be doing later this week.
Do you think the Jenner sisters are being insensitive or not taking the guidelines seriously
enough?
