It’s been almost six months since Kendall Jenner appeared in the ill-fated Pepsi commercial that sparked astonishing backlash when it appeared to trivialise the Black Lives Matter movement.
And yes, we’re still talking about it.
For the first time, the world has been able to see how the controversy affected the 21-year-old first hand, on the season 14 premiere of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
The ad in question features black, white, transgender, gay and Muslim people marching in an ambiguous protest, holding signs printed with messages like “join the conversation” and “love”.
Jenner, who is wearing a blonde wig and is working on a photo shoot in the ad, then decides to cast off her ‘costume’ and join in on the protest.

She doesn't know what to do? Start by losing the " I feel really bad that this was taken such a wrong way" attitude and show genuine remorse.
This 'reality' show is anything but real. That was not her reaction, that's the reaction the producers want you to see.
Of course. She didn't feel "so stupid" or believe the "the team" screwed up when she was busily proudly plastering her SM with grabs from that Pepsi ad. It wasn't until the ad was publicly lambasted that she took that crap down and got all regretful.
This show is just the Kardashians putting their PR spin and doing damage control on events that transpired a few months before the airing of the episodes. They never answer questions directly in the media and only deal with things on their show that way they can completely control the narrative.
