Kendall Jenner, emosyonal na humingi ng tawad dahil sa kontrobersyal na Pepsi Ad
INAMIN ni Kendall Jenner na nalulungkot siya sa pagkakasali niya sa infamous political na patalastas ng Pepsi. Nitong Linggo sa season premiere ng Keeping Up With the Kardashians, emosyonal na ibinahagi ng 21 taong gulang na modelo ang tungkol sa controversial ad habang nakikipag- usap sa kapatid na si Kim Kardashian.
“I feel really bad that anyone was ever offended. I feel really bad that this was taken such a wrong way and I genuinely feel like s**t,” ani Kendall habang nakahiga silang magkapatid sa kanyang kwarto.
Sa kontrobersiyal na commercial, na unang inilabas noong Abril at muntik nang alisin ng Pepsi, makikita si Kendall na gumaganap bilang siya mismo sa isang political protest at gumamit ng soda upang maghatid ng kapayapaan sa pagitan ng iba’t ibang lahing mga demonstrador at mga pulis.
Pinuna ang patalastas dahil sa pagpapalabas ng pagpoprotesta at pagrarally, at pagbibigay malisya sa tension ng minorities at ng pulisya sa America.
Dahil siya ang bida sa patalastas, inintriga si Kendall at inamin niya sa kanyang kapatid na “(she had) no idea how I’m going to bounce back from it.”
“I didn’t even know what to do,” aniya sa inisyal na negatibong reaksiyon na kinaharap niya nang unang umere ang patalastas.
“This is the first time you’ve had a scandal,” ani Kim, pinipilit na pakalmahin ang kapatid. “This is your first real experience with something like this. It’s OK…. This is just gonna be the biggest lesson learned for you.”
“It’s really depressing and it bothers me every single day,” ani Kendall.
Sa solo interview ng KUWTK cameras, nagsimulang umiyak si Jenner nang ibinahagi ang kanyang panig ukol sa isyu. “I would never purposely hurt someone, ever. And obviously if I knew this was gonna be the outcome, I would have never done something like this,” paliwanag ni Kendall habang nagpupunas ng kanyang luha. “But you don’t know when you’re in the moment.”
“I felt so f**king stupid,” patuloy niya. “The (idea) that I would offend other people or hurt other people was definitely not the intent. And that’s what got me the most.”
Nang unang umere ang patalastas, lahad sa ET ng sources na pamilyar sa kanyang kontrata sa Pepsi, siya ay “devastated” sa natanggap na bashing at sinabing, “This is the first controversial campaign she has been involved with. Even though she had nothing to do with the production and the message of the campaign, she will be blamed for this since she is the face.”
