Kylie Jenner has gone through a dramatic transformation over the course of the past five years or so. And while some of that can be attributed to the obvious changes a girl’s body goes through from the ages of 13 to 19, of course, it’s undeniable that much of Jenner’s changes are the result of being cranked through the Kardashian publicity machine, as the youngest sibling of the Kardashian-Jenner clan even proudly admitted to having her lips augmented at the tender age of 17.
Thanks to this dramatic makeover, Jenner has now found herself the subject of a rant by Scream Queens star Keke Palmer. Palmer took to Instagram Wednesday, sharing a meme similar to the above before-and-after image with the photo on the left captioned, “2012: Kylie’s so ugly, why can’t she just grow up!” and the photo on the right captioned, “2016: Ew, Kylie’s so fake, what happened to her?” In the accompanying lengthy diatribe, Palmer slams Donald Trump winning the election and society’s obsession with “making things appear to be real than needing them to actually BE real.”
Palmer then turns her attention to Jenner as an example of how fake reality TV is:
Looking at this photo above I couldn’t help but stop dead in my tracks because even though I do feel like this family sets an example that it’s good to change for societies affection, how can you blame them? We don’t think that this young woman deserves the attention she receives because of the message it sends but we don’t even think about the fact that for years the whole world damn near agreed that she was ugly. A CHILD, that girl was a child and she was bullied and named ugly and not as a character but as HERSELF … And unlike some that experience such ridicule she had the $$$ to change, she “fixed” what the world said was broken and it worked! Now you are mad that it was that easy?
If only we could accept one another instead of bullying each other into change. We wouldn’t be so confused or misunderstanding all of these mixed messages that ultimately tell us to trade attention for respect and love for possession.
We kind of get what she’s trying to say, but unfortunately her message gets slightly obscured with “for years the whole world damn near agreed that [Kylie Jenner] was ugly.” Did we all agree on this? I had no idea. Somehow that memo must have gotten lost.
