00:00Kylie Jenner slammed as out of touch for police-themed Kylie Cosmetics ad amid ice raids.
00:06Kylie Jenner is in hot water with fans after her latest promotional video for Kylie Cosmetics.
00:11Taking to Instagram to share the ad, Kylie posted a video showing herself getting arrested
00:16and many online users found this more than a bit off-putting considering the ice raids
00:21that have been occurring over the last few weeks.
00:24In the ad, the mother of two is dressed in a low-cut halter-style black leather bra
00:28and matching micro shorts.
00:30She added a pair of translucent black tights, silver hip chains, and black pumps
00:35and styled her dark locks in cascading waves.
00:38With two policemen on either side of her in a backlit hallway, she struts as if she's
00:42on a runway stage.
00:44The video ends with just the words, King Kylie, and Jenner teased the return of her King Kylie
00:49collection in her caption.
00:51While the beauty mogul was likely just trying to reference her more rebellious and edgy days
00:55back when she launched Kylie Cosmetics as a teen, for most, it was poor timing.
01:01Across social media platforms, users are calling out Kylie for being out of touch with the current
01:05state of the world.
01:07As many minorities are targeted by ICE officers and arrested, Kylie is toting an ad nearly
01:11sexualizing the act of being arrested.
01:14I get it, one person wrote.
01:17It makes sense for the revival of that era, but this was in bad taste.
01:21Read the room, another person agreed.
01:24This is their playbook, another suggested.
01:26Do anything they can for attention, no matter how offensive.
01:30Another user simply wrote, actually gross, on X, and suggested Kylie was attempting to
01:36recreate the same controversy Kendall went through with the tone-deaf Pepsi ad.
01:42Did anyone on her team stop and think it might not be the best time to use police imagery?
01:46A final person asked.
01:48Or are they all this out of touch?
