Kendall Jenner slammed for partying at pal’s wedding and ‘trying to distract’ from Astroworld tragedy
KENDALL Jenner was slammed for wearing a revealing black dress to a friend's wedding, which fans called a distraction amid family backlash over their handling of the tragedy at Astroworld.
All the backlash comes just a short time after the reality star responded to the shocking Astroworld tragedy.
It all kicked off when Kendall took to her Instagram Stories to show off the dress she decided to wear for her friend Lauren Perez's wedding- one that made plenty of head turns.
In one clip, the 26-year-old posed alongside friends, including Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid, while wearing a skintight '90s-inspired dress with cut-out panels.
On the other hand, Justin Bieber's wife went the gold corset-style dress route while Bella wore a blue animal-print dress.
In a second Story, Kendall and Hailey pose in front of the mirror together while giving fans another look at their wedding attire.
One viewer commented: "And suddenly everyone is talking about this instead of astroworld. these people know how to divert attention."
Another added: "is no one talking about how this is a perfect distraction. Kendall took one for her sister."
Plenty of fans agreed as they took to the comments section to respond.
One person wrote: "Why did she think that was a good idea?" while another chimed in, "What was going through her head?"
A third added: "If someone wore this to my wedding they'd be seeing the door," and one said, "I would've asked her to leave."
'AT A LOSS'
The backlash comes after the model responded to Travis Scott's concert in Houston, which left nine people dead.
She wrote on her Instagram Story: "I'm still at a loss for words over the news from Astroworld.
"I'm truly broken for the families that have lost loved ones and my prayers go out to everyone involved.
"Sending everyone who has been affected all of my love and wishing them strength during this incredibly devastating and sensitive time. Kendall."
Kendall, who attended the event with Travis' baby mama Kylie Jenner, also deleted several sexy photos of herself posing in front of the Astroworld stage from her Instagram feed.
She had faced backlash for posting the snaps and keeping them as news continued to roll in of the horrific events at NRG Park.
TRAGEDY STRIKES
The country was shocked upon learning of the tragedy that occurred in Houston, which started as a crowd of 50,000 showed up for the two-day event.
At the time, Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peña said: “We had at least eight confirmed fatalities today. We had scores of individuals injured at this event.”
He added that a "mass casualty incident" was triggered at 9:38 pm and investigations are ongoing.
Rapper Travis as well as Kylie have both responded to the tragedy, with the TV star saying they are both "broken and devastated."
