Last month, Kylie and Kendall Jenner were accused of not paying the factory workers in Bangladesh who allegedly made clothing for their fashion line Kendall + Kylie. Now, the reality TV stars turned models turned businesswomen are clapping back at the accusations, claiming they’re “untrue.”

/ Celebrities have joined the #PayUp group chat. (cc @kyliejenner, @kendalljenner, @diddy, @iamcardib) ⠀ In this pandemic, we do not need feel-good philanthropy from Kendall and Kylie Jenner, P. Diddy, and Cardi B. What we need, instead, is good business practices !!! ⠀ Kendall + Kylie, is owned by Global Brands Group, who refused to pay its garment suppliers for orders produced in February and March following a drop in sales caused by the coronavirus pandemic. "Given the unpredictability of the situation, our retail partners have cancelled orders, and existing inventory and product in production may have no sell-through. Consequently, we have no choice but to make the difficult decision to cancel all S/S 2020 orders from all suppliers (without liability)," wrote Rick Darling, CEO of Global Brands Group in a letter dated March 21, 2020. ⠀ However, the fact of the matter is that Global Brands Group does have a choice - it's just choosing not to implement it. ⠀ Kylie and Kendall aren't the only celebrity culprits allowed to distance themselves from this devastating truth. Also owned by Global Brands Group? ⠀ P. Diddy's Sean Jean line. The irony here is difficult to overlook. Recently, P.Diddy launched #OurFairShare, a platform to help minority entrepreneurs access funds in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is admirable. ⠀ But we talked to an entrepreneur in Bangladesh, Mostafiz Uddin, of Denim Experts, who runs a sustainable denim factory. Global Brands Group owes him hundreds of thousands of dollars for products his workers made + shipped in February. ⠀ In April, he pleaded w/ Global Brands Group, "Here my workers are hungry, they are being agitated, they are very angry. I have promised them to pay wages. So please please make my payment." We would hope that P.Diddy, who cares about #COVID19's disproportionate impact on Black + Brown people, would ensure that his line does the same. Seems only fair.

“We would like to address the unfortunate and incorrect rumo[u]r that Global Brands Group owns the Kendall + Kylie brand and that we have neglected to pay factory workers in Bangladesh as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,” a text post on the sister’s company Instagram read. “This is untrue.”

“The Kendall + Kylie brand is  owned by 3072541 Canada Inc., not GBG. The brand has worked with CAA-GBG in the past in a sales and business development capacity only, but we do not currently have any relationship at all with GBG.”

A spokesperson for the pair then added that “we know that these are trying times for the fashion industry and garment workers as a whole, and we continue to support all of our partners working in the factories who produce our products. We manufacture in countries all over the world and have not received any concerns from the factories who produce our goods.”

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, fashion houses have had to cancel a lot of their upcoming productions, often after factory workers have actually made them. Last month, Instagram fashion watchdog Diet Prada shared a now deleted Instagram article claiming that Kylie and Kendall Jenner's fashion brand was owned by Global Brands Group, a company that allegedly has failed to pay its factory workers for cancelled goods.
