Kylie Jenner News 2015: Reality Star’s New 'Blackface' Instagram Pics Cause Outrage [VIDEO]
Another day, another Kardashian scandal, but this time around it involves Kylie Jenner. The 17-year-old reality television star is being accused of wearing blackface in a photoshoot that she shared with her Instagram fans over the weekend.
Even though Kylie captioned the photo simply with, "This is a black light and neon lights people lets all calm down @marcelocantuphoto @joycebonelli @chrisdylanhair @hubblestudio," many of her fans still seemed to be rather upset with the photos.

A few comments from her followers included, "The majority of the idiots who idolise the Kardashian's are completely oblivious, ironically the majority of the people who are oblivious are white. White people cannot speak on behave of us, because they will never understand our struggle," along with, "Hardly racist? Apparently anything people do today is racism...it seems to be a very blurred term today! Maybe you need to get your definition straight before you call her racist."

There was so much outrage over the photos that Kylie was forced to go on Twitter to give an explanation before she headed to church for Easter with her family. She said, "so just got the time to head on social media lol.. The photographer used a black light & neon lights for those photos."
The rest of her family decided to stay quiet on the controversy, including her rumored boyfriend, rapper Tyga.
