Kendall Jenner, Hailey and Justin Bieber have come under huge fire for making tone-deaf comments while in isolation due to COVID-19.
During an Instagram Live together, the trio were flippantly discussing their privilege, which has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.
During the convo, Justin asked Kendall how she was liking her new home, to which she replied: “Oh my God it’s literally my favourite place on the planet. I worked for so long to get it to the point it’s at. I renovated it for like a year.”
“How blessed are we to be able to like — a lot of people obviously in this time have a crappy situation,’ Justin added. “You know, they look at us and obviously, we’ve worked hard for where we’re at, so it’s like, you can’t feel bad for the things we have.”
“I think about it all the time,” Kendall replied.
Justin added, “But I think, just us taking that time to acknowledge that there are people who are really crippling is important.”
It didn’t take long for Twitter to be inundated with comments from pissed off fans who slammed the celebrities for coming across as spoilt.
“Thank god they’re “acknowledging” us. SO GRATEFUL. Suddenly my debts are wiped clear and im no longer unemployed,” wrote another.
“i’m sure all the newly unemployed are grateful to know justin bieber thought about them being poor,” said another.
“kendall said hold on let me open up a cold can of Pepsi”.
Yikes.
Another added: “Justin Bieber’s career started because Usher came across him singing on YouTube. Kendall Jenner’s dad is an Olympian. Hailey Bieber’s dad is a Hollywood star. Get the fuck out of here with being ‘blessed’” and ‘working hard’.”
