A popular magazine publishes PR-style profile for Britt Lower’s husband, Kenna Kennor

A magazine published a PR-focused profile on Kenna Kennor without mentioning multiple sexual assault accusations

People Magazine recently published what appears to be a PR-style profile about hairstylist Kenna Kennor, who is married to Emmy-winning Severance star Britt Lower and the article has sparked significant backlash online because it makes no mention of multiple sexual assault and harassment allegations against him.

The People piece, framed as a standard “who is this person?” profile, focuses on Kennor’s career as a British hairstylist, how he met Lower when he styled her hair for an awards show, and their life together in Brooklyn, along with his professional accomplishments. Kennor is introduced simply as Lower’s spouse and a successful stylist featured in major magazines, without any suggestion of controversy.

But across social platforms, critics argue that the article reads more like controlled PR than objective reporting because it omits the serious, repeated accusations that have circulated about Kennor. Community threads and private Instagram accounts such as blacklistkenna have hosted content from multiple women alleging sexual assault and harassment by Kennor. These conversations have been ongoing for months and include claims that stories about his behavior were suppressed or removed from some online spaces.

Britt Lower attended the Critics Choice Awards with husband Kenna Kennor, who has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women

Kenna Kennor and Britt Lower made headlines when they walked the red carpet together at the Critics Choice Awards in early January, a moment some commentators noted was reported in outlets like Tribune, also without addressing any allegations.

Online critics have expressed frustration that People chose to emphasize a polished, positive angle on Kennor’s life and career without acknowledging the questions raised about his conduct. “People Magazine are 0 for 2 so far this year,” one commenter wrote, adding that the profile seems designed to “manipulate search results” so that positive stories about Kennor become more visible than allegations against him.

Supporters of the women who shared accusations argue the lack of reporting reinforces a pattern in celebrity media where serious claims are sidelined in favor of image management. Others caution that allegations shared on Reddit and Instagram are not the same as verified legal charges, highlighting the tension between social reporting and journalistic standards.

At the time of writing, People has not updated the article to include any mention of allegations, nor has Kennor issued a public statement addressing the claims.
