Kendall Jenner - posting requires reading thread rules, see post #1

I can see why a lot of people find it really hard to feel sorry for Kendall when she gets criticized because she's a pretty, young, famous multi-millionaire but I do think she has a lot of balls to stay in an industry where a lot of people really don't like her.
I also like the fact that she stays silent about anything that pops up about her like the Binx and Lexi incident or that open letter to her. While Gigi spoke up about people criticizing her, I don't think Kendall ever has unless being directly asked in an interview. I dunno, she just seems like a pretty chill person despite her lifestyle.

People need to wake up from that deep slumber the industry has changed and models with more social presence are more in demand. Celebrities have taken over the industry and for a brand to stand out the model representing them must be on the same level to be able to command attention. There's a reason agencies now list models social networks on their portfolios. Also whoever posted that she should ditch her fame hungry family should ditch their own family first!
^^ I like Kendall as a model now, it took a while for her to grow on me and over all grow as a model. She was a little lost at first, but so are many 17 yo newcomers.
I kinda understand where "ditch her famewhoring family" comment comes from, but it is such an absurd thing to say - no one of us can choose our family, let alone we would want to.
Still she appears the most normal in the family, but "normal" needs to be taken a bit differently with people who live and raise their children with cameras following everywhere they go. I still want to believe they feel the same basic feelings all of us do, despite their not so basic enviroment.

The hate would be worse if she ditched her family. The thing is that she puts her career before her family. (She left Kylie alone during the Billboards, not her fault she had obligations). I don't blame her, she's on top right now and who knows if she's still going to be the "it" girl next year.
Her career is well managed but her agency should let her do runways more. She's doing more commercial than HF at the moment and the only editorial work she does is for US Vogue. I'm not talking about Vogue covers but only inside editorials. I went through all her Vogue eds and if you don't count US Vogue, she has only done one editorial in a Vogue issue (VP June/July 2014) where she wasn't on the cover.
And she's no different than her sisters, look at her instagram and count the number of pictures of her butt... I don't understand why Kylie is criticized while Kendall wears very revealing outfits, posts inappropriate pics and is praised by everyone.

Again, why would she "ditch" her family? How is she putting her career before them? She's photographed with them, she's in a family show and her mother is her manager. It's not only speculation, but it's wishful thinking. Just one more thing to criticize.
She's like her sisters because they are sisters...

I'm glad she didn't do it. She is who she is thanks to her family, her mom taught her how to be influential and how to do business. She was raised in the showbiz industry so she has skills that other models don't have, she knows how to stay in the light and how to react with social media (haters). That's why I think she shouldn't ditch her family
People wanted her to ditch her family because otherwise she wouldn't be able to make a name for herself and she proved them wrong
Some people would have shown more sympathy if she had "left" her family. You don't watch KUWTK? In a recent episode, Kendall really left Kylie alone to do her job and she took one pic with her. I only gave an example, I'm not saying that she's doing that on a daily basis. I don't blame her and I said it in my comment. She's on top right now so she has to do sacrifices but so does everyone.
I know they are sisters but it's quite weird when people say Kendall is the most "normal" person in her family. They are assuming that she's different, right? Everyone says Kendall is the most natural, etc.
I really think Kendall is smart and posting pics of her body isn't the right way of showing it. I want her to be more than just a face/body, I want her to express her opinion on important things, to be influential in a good way

Completely true.
Most of those complaining are ones who are still kind of stuck in the modelling of the 80's.
Facts are, certain models have always been entrepreneurs with true self-marketing and communication skills. They also participate actively in the diffusion of brands and are strong actors to fashion awareness.
Social media has given the power back to some of them when critics considered them to be just cloth hangers. All of a sudden, models have true factual business assets to make value, yes, the most important one, that is an audience brands are dying to touch.
So, if supermodels like Kendall are entrepreneurs then it's all normal social media gave the ability to show that they are extremely marketable and that they can please to any audience (casual fans, experts, girls-next-door etc.)
Kendall is the uncontested leader and that's nice to see. On Instagram alone, she has 9.9% of the audience and she's the 8th most followed account [...] I mean, hello, we're in a competitive world of business...
So the haters can keep complaining and living in a world where you would need to be the next Christy Turlington to get approval but in the XXIst century were Apple is worth more than Russia's economy or Singapore's (one of the wealthiest countries in the world), you'd better keep in touch with your time.

great video
She said was shooting for a lot of fashion month. Hope it was for something worth it. Her management needs to up Kendall's runway presence, her second season was her best and it's clearly her forte.. so I don't get it.
New management maybe? IMG..
