The reality star posted a series of tweets about the statements in a recent Love magazine interview that riled up her fellow models. The 22-year-old was speaking to Love about her experience in the industry, but her words seemed to lack awareness of her privilege.
“I’m inspired by so many of these people i have had the good fortune to work alongside!” Jenner wrote in response to all the criticism. “There’s no way i could EVER hate on that.”
I was misrepresented in a recent interview over the wknd & it’s important to clarify the meaning. It was intended to be entirely complimentary but unfortunately, my words were twisted & taken out of context.I want to be clear. The respect that I have for my peers is immeasurable!
I get to experience first hand their tireless commitment, their work ethic, the endless days, the lack of sleep, separation from family and friends, stress of traveling, the toll on physical and mental health, yet they still make it all look effortless and beautiful.
I’m inspired by so many of these people i have had the good fortune to work alongside! There’s no way i could EVER hate on that ❤️ i want everyone to win. SLAY ALWAYS.
“Since the beginning we’ve been super selective about what shows I would do. I was never one of those girls who would do like 30 shows a season or whatever the fuck those girls do. More power to ’em. But I had a million jobs, not only catwalks but everything else,” she said. “The whole combination was very overwhelming, and I started to freak out a little bit and needed to take a step back.”
Some of Jenner’s fellow models took issue with the statements. Jac Jagaciak, who, like Jenner, has walked for Victoria’s Secret, expressed anger and urged Jenner to “get in touch with the real world,” while Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Vita Sidorkina-Morabito said she had “no words.”
