‘An Insult To Everyone’: Kendall Jenner Is Getting Absolutely Roasted For Her Role In The New Pepsi Ad
People are unimpressed.
Oh dear. Kendall Jenner and Pepsi have been hit with a tonne of backlash following the release of the brand’s latest ad.
Kendall stars in the new commercial, which shows the model going from a photoshoot, straight into a protest.
The 20-year-old reality star removes her wig and lippy and joins protestors, where she hands a can of Pepsi to a police officer, to the applause of the crowd.
As for Twitter, well the general consensus is that Kendall and Pepsi have managed to offend just about everyone….
The people @pepsi really fucked up with that @KendallJenner commercial. The person who came up with that idea probably works for @CocaCola.

Nothing like thinking a rich white woman + corporatism are what’s needed to end state violence against Black people. @Pepsi @KendallJenner

Thank you @KendallJenner for letting us know that the only way to end police brutality is with an ice cold Pepsi

How I imagine the @Pepsi executives right before they decided to make this ad with Kendall Jenner. pic.twitter.com/NcQIxHJVJq

Pepsi having Kendall Jenner, a white girl, save the day in their new ad & “end racism.” pic.twitter.com/1MLA7E9oqT
