Yes, Proactive and Wen are where careers go to die. This doesn't surprise me in the least. I have a feeling the others sisters knew the backlash on this was going to be huge and that's why they didn't post any teasers on their social media. Or Proactive wasn't willing to cut them a check. Either way, Kendall and Kris are awful. 8 Link to comment

I know I post here, but I've never actually watched an episode and I dropped my People magazine subscription in part because of their incessant coverage of this family.

vast wasteland January 7, 2019 Share January 7, 2019 Quote In a teaser video posted to Instagram on Saturday, January 5, Kris wrote that she is “so proud of my darling @KendallJenner for being so brave and vulnerable.” The momager and recent music video scene-stealer went on to say that Kendall will be sharing a personal story with her fans on January 6, in order to “make a positive impact for so many people and help foster a positive dialogue.” Kris ended her note by telling fans to pay close attention to her daughter’s Twitter account on Sunday evening, promising: “Be prepared to be moved.” Kendall Jenner Cured Her Cystic Acne With Proactiv I'm more and more disturbed by this cystic acne stunt. This story is NOT moving. I am glad that this privileged rich white child found a remedy for her acne. That feeling is tempered with her commercialization of her condition and her exploitation of the public (IMO) by tying this dramatic announcement to an endorsement which will bring her more money. THIS is a moving story: TYLER TRENT GIVE AND TAKE Quote "I want to leave a legacy that motivates people to be advocates. Change only happens when we decide to actually do something about it. At the end of the day, there are generations behind me, as well. If I could motivate them, I would be a happy man." Tyler Trent, a 20-year-old Purdue student from Carmel, Indiana, who suffered from a rare form of bone cancer, died Jan. 1 after a five-year battle with the disease. During his time at Purdue, Trent was an eager student, a tireless advocate for giving and an inspiration to many. Osteosarcoma took parts of Trent’s arm, his hip and his youth. Ultimately, the cancer took his life. All the while, Trent remained unchanged in many ways. He fought, he lived his life and he paid it forward even though his future was always in doubt. Cancer took and Tyler Trent did nothing but give. "My spiritual gift is the ability to serve others, and advocacy comes with that. Once you've been through cancer one, two, three times, you develop a passion to be an advocate," Trent said in an interview in spring 2018. "Our experiences shape who we are, and I wanted to turn my experience into something useful by being an advocate. You can get cancer and be someone who just goes through cancer, but then you're just another number. I want to be more than just a number. I want to get others involved." Trent was first diagnosed with osteosarcoma at age 15, when cancer was found in his shoulder area. Three years later, in 2017, cancer appeared in his hip and pelvis. Through tumor removal, bone replacement and aggressive treatment, Trent was able to overcome those bouts. The cancer returned in March 2018, however, this time in an area of his spine where surgical removal wasn’t an option. Trent remained in school through the spring and even did an internship in Chicago over the summer but, despite more treatment, his worsening condition forced him out of school in the fall. Trent was awarded an associate degree from Purdue Polytechnic Institute in early October. Trent started giving as soon as cancer started taking. At just 15 years old, he saw firsthand the toll cancer took on the families of sufferers and acted on it by creating Teens with a Cause, a student support group. Trent oversaw the 200-person organization, dispatching teams to perform basic household chores for the families of cancer patients and others in need. Trent's commitment to public service and awareness continued after his second diagnosis. Despite the fact that his replaced hip called for him to use a crutch to get around, Trent promptly became an active member of the Purdue University Dance Marathon club once he got to campus. That student organization raises funds and awareness for Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, where Trent went for treatment. He also served as the first student member of the Purdue University Center for Cancer Research Director's Advancement Board, as an honorary team captain during the Purdue football team's Hammer Down Cancer game and as the keynote speaker at one of the center's fundraising luncheons. "Things like the Dance Marathon and the Hammer Down Cancer game are huge because funding is huge and awareness is huge," Trent said. "Something I've learned is to know your 'why.' I'm communicating my 'why' by advocating for cancer awareness and cancer research." 7 Link to comment

She must have been salivating so hard over her 10% cut that she lost all reason. Or the new shiny thing (Kylie) is taking too much of her time. I really don't understand where she was coming from with "be the change", "share your story" "my daughter inspires me" and "change the conversation" tags. Acne. Lots of kids have it. Exactly how does "be the change" apply, and how is Kendall so inspiring? I get that she (Kendall) was trolled on SM for her acne at the GG. But good grief - this is the world's highest paid supermodel and she can't deal with twitter trolling??? Am I supposed to feel sorry for the poor thing who can afford all the acne medicine she wants and could hire her own personal dermatologist to help her skin and her own personal anxiety coach to help her cope with the traumatic, life altering event of being trolled because of her acne at the Golden Globes? If Kendall is so freaking sensitive, she shouldn't be in the public eye. Period. Seriously, I think about all the young people who are real victims of SM shaming - you know, the kids that aren't Kendall Jenner - and how hard it is for them to cope, and what it does to them inside. And how this somehow trivializes that. Kris should be ashamed of herself, but this is a Kardashian, so never mind. 15 Link to comment

They will get enough backlash that it will turn into Pepsi v. 2.0, proactive will come out with a statement apologizing to everybody for being so off base in their promotion and apologizing to Miss Kendall and then next season we will see how distraught Kendall was because of the whole ordeal. We cut cable a while ago, so I haven't seen or heard a proactive commercial in a while. Are they as big as they used to be? Perhaps all of this is around a rebrand effort? 7 Link to comment
WhosThatGirl January 7, 2019 Share January 7, 2019 I was busy watching other things so now just hearing about this “big announcement” on The Talk. Uh.. huh? Honestly, after reading posts here it kind of seems this is more Kris’s problem than Kendall. Kendall didn’t tweet about it, it probably just would have been a proactive ad on tv and people would mention she’s in an ad for them now. She isn’t the first star to be in ads for this company, plently have. Jessica Simpson, Adam Levine, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Naya Reveria, Julieanne Hough, etc. Its just.. I don’t know. I really have nothing to say. I definitely am not sure if Kendall is to blame for this, though. Link to comment
BrindaWalsh January 7, 2019 Share January 7, 2019 You raise a good point. It should be a Kris problem. And if you think about it, acne probably DOES rank up there on the same scale as poverty and human trafficking in her mind. Because it can permanently mar an appearance, and if you don't have the skin of a kewpie doll then you are doooommmmeeeeddddd. 9 Link to comment

vast wasteland January 7, 2019 Share January 7, 2019 Kendall Jenner’s ‘raw,’ personal story ended up being a paid sponsorship with Proactiv Quote So it came as a shock to many when Kendall surfaced during E!'s red carpet coverage of the “Golden Globes” Sunday night — in a commercial for Proactiv, the acne treatment brand that has had a long line of celebrity endorsers, including Justin Bieber, Jessica Simpson, Katy Perry and Alicia Keys. In the ad, Kendall recalls getting criticism (and support) after she was pictured with visible acne on the Golden Globes red carpet last year. “For me, I can honestly say that the magic was Proactiv,” Kendall says. “It’s a huge deal that I’m partnering with Proactiv, and I’m hoping that I can help people and show people that this is the way that I got clear and that, hopefully, this is the way that you can get clear.” That was the big announcement? Yes, Kendall confirmed minutes later, posting a heart emoji as she shared Proactiv’s tweet welcoming her “to the family.” People were . . . disappointed. “How brave of Kendall to be paid millions to promote a skin care brand,” one Twitter user wrote. “was this the announcement bc if so i want my money back,” riffed another. So far, neither Kris nor Kendall have addressed the latest controversy. Though, to be fair, there is nothing more Kardashian than a paid sponsorship. 1 Link to comment

vast wasteland January 9, 2019 Share January 9, 2019 Aren't You Sick Of Being Manipulated By The Kardashians Yet? Quote Kendall Jenner's latest clickbait stunt took #sponsored content too far Are there no moral depths the Kardashians will not plunder to sell products that they probably don't even use? Let's find out. Only four days ago Kim Kardashian was slammed for promoting 130 calorie meal replacement shakes on Instagram (this, from a woman who just marketed a line of perfumes based on her love of 'confident women no matter what shape or size they are'). And Kendall Jenner is now facing backlash for using language usually associated with #metoo or #effyourbeautystandards statements to...sell spot cream? Well, we say Kendall but really we mean Kris Jenner. It's always Kris. On Friday she uploaded a post on Instagram suggesting that her 23-year-old daughter would be revealing her 'most raw story' on Sunday night. With hashtags like #bethechange and #shareyourstory, Kendall had the collective eyes of the internet trained on her instagram page by Sunday night. After all, this is the syntax of social media language that capitalizes on stories we've become accustomed to seeing in association with #metoo and #effyourbeauty standards and surrounding the discussion of mental health issues, domestic abuse: the list goes on. So we were all listening to what Kendall Jenner had to say, and her great, soul-searching story turned out to be that she suffered with acne before she discovered proactive solution (and of course $4000 dollar facials. That bit was left out). This in itself wasn't even the bad part. I have sympathy for Kendall Jenner, I really do, skin problems can deeply affect your self-confidence, we've all been 16 and refused to leave the house because mount Vesuvius has appeared on our foreheads. That is undoubtedly amplified when your face is public property subject to any unfortunate tabloid headline or cruel tweet. Kendall touched briefly on this in the minute long ad for Proactiv solution 'I remember going online and seeing all the horrible things people were saying about me and my skin. I felt so good that I completely forgot I had bad skin.' But Kendall, we're really confused. And we have questions. For one: why didn't you use this to, I don't know, maybe point out that it's unacceptable to make petty and cruel comments on the internet? For two: exactly what #conversation is being promoted here? That rather than addressing jibes about your skin you should go out and buy the first product marketing itself on the back of your anxieties? Aside from being the most duplicitous type of clickbait, we're bored to the back teeth of seeing the Kardashians using the same kind of Wonderbra 'Hey Boys' advertising that fuels anxiety about the way that you look to sell a product. Why don't we #changetheconversation to have an industry-wide boycott on letting the Kardashians do sponsored content so we can stop having to endure this nonsense on our feeds? 5 Link to comment

I’m sure not every celeb who hs been a spokesperson uses proactive all the time or ever. But adding the stupid tweets kris did last week is the issue.

I think that's what most people had an issue with. Kendall's fans were truly worried she experienced a serious trauma, only for the big reveal to be a paid sponsorship. I'm not saying acne doesn't undermine one's self-confidence, but it's hardly on the level of something like rape, domestic violence or mental illness. Kris really crossed a line with this one. 13 Link to comment
