Kendall Jenner Shuts Down Comments About Her Acne at the Golden Globes
Plenty of us get breakouts. Adult acne is actually on the rise in women ages 20 to 40. But few of us, god forbid, have to stand on a red carpet with it like Kendall Jenner did at last night’s Golden Globes—where, even despite the evening’s central theme around women’s empowerment, people didn’t hold back from picking apart the model’s appearance. (Check out Twitter and you’ll see people sharing thoughts on everything from her acne to her lips to her attendance at large.)
Jenner, for her part, usually stays above petty comments on social media. But she actually had a pretty great response to a fan who tweeted her in solidarity about her acne. The fan wrote, “Ok but @KendallJenner showing up and strutting her acne while looking like a gorgeous star is what every girl needs to understand.” Kendall’s reply? “Never let that shit stop you! ?✨” Yeah, people were here for it.

Back in January 2017, the last time fans criticized her for getting “facial reconstruction” when really she’d done her makeup differently, Kendall called it “exhausting,” and said it ultimately made her think the world was rooting against her. “I feel like people just want me to lose,” she said. “People forget that they’re talking about real people who have real feelings and actually live their everyday lives (for the most part) just like everyone else.”
What we should be talking about instead? Time’s Up.
