AceShowbiz - Kendall Jenner got people on the internet excited when her mother, Kris Jenner, teased that the model would be sharing her "most raw story in order to make a positive impact," adding that it would move a lot of people. However, when the 23-year-old finally revealed what her story was, people were very baffled because it turned out to be a partnership deal with Proactiv, an acne brand.
In a commercial video which was shared by the brand on Sunday, January 6, Kendall opened up about her battle with acne. "I remember going online and seeing all the horrible things people were saying about me and my skin," she said in the clip. "I felt so good [that night] that I forgot that I had bad skin. Then I remember getting a couple of tweets that became a lot of tweets of how proud people were of me."

Even though Kris dubbed her revelation very "brave and vulnerable," other Internet users didn't think so. "I can't breathe Kendall brave announcement was that she has acne as if we all don't," one user tweeted as another called the build-up "dramatic," saying, "Kendall jenner really set up an entire dramatic scheduled announcement just to reveal she has pimples."

Some others, on the other hand, were frustrated because they initially thought it was going to be a coming out story. "Everyone really thought kendall jenner's big announcement was her coming out speech when it was actually about her acne," one user said. Another perplexed user said, "I thought kendall jenner was a bi icon but she just has acne."
