Kendall Jenner has been featuring on major magazine covers, starring in this season’s grandest campaigns, and courting cheer wherever she goes. But while 2015 has seen the model thrive professionally, mounting from a reality show to supermodel status at 19, the road to triumph hasn’t been as alluring as you think. Regardless of dismissing reports that her fellow models are giving her a hard time, a new report surfaced that, other models, especially through social media, are have been bullying Kendall Jenner.  One of them later on confessed to it and even apologised, reported International Business Times.

Vogue Germany posted an Instagram picture of Kendall at the backstage of the Donna Karan show earlier this week having her make-up done. Even though most of the comments on the pictures were positive, those from two models showed that they have bitter feelings toward Jenner.

Model Lexi Boling tagged another model friend Binx Walton, saying Kendall never looked better, with a laughing emoticon to express sarcasm. Binx responded with more laughing emoticons, expressing how much fun they were having at the expense of Jenner. As Jenner walked in on the Marc Jacobs show, Binx posted a forceful tweet, “Season of the entitled.”


As Kardashian fans rallied to support Jenner, Lexi apologised when the news of the social media bullying spread. Lexi’s rep released the model’s statement, saying she was not thinking and just made a silly remark. She also praised Jenner for her New York Fashion Week  (NYFW)performance, reported E! News.

Regardless of bullies, Jenner had the last laugh, considering she just started last year. For this year’s NYFW, she walked for numerous fashion powerhouses, managing even three shows in a day. The 19-year-old walked runway shows, strutting for the collections of Vera Wang, Oscar de la Renta and Marc Jacobs. On the days before, she also did shows for Alexander Wang, Diane Von Furstenberg and Donna Karan, among others. Be it formal dresses or pantsuits, Kendall managed to pull them all off.

A week before the Fashion Week, the face of Estee Lauder announced she is excited and proud of her work. Her younger sister, Kylie Jenner, is seemingly following into her footsteps, as she modelled for Kanye West’s Adidas collection, reports au.ibtimes.com.
