What’s up?
It’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News
and Kylie Jenner is receiving backlash from
fans after posting photos of her Paris vacation
amid the ongoing crisis.
Unfortunately, Kylie Jenner is continuing
to be an example of what not to do during
a pandemic and fans have been quick to criticize
her for being a bad role model for her hundreds
of millions of followers.
Despite the fact that Los Angeles still has
a safer-at-home policy in place and California’s
COVID-19 numbers are in the thousands every
day, Kylie just shared some pics of herself
half way around the world in Paris on Instagram.
These pictures came as California’s state
government has specifically asked its residents
to refrain from travel with their website
saying quote, “To prevent further spread
of COVID-19, Californians should not travel
significant distances and should stay close
to home as much as possible.”
Last time we checked, Paris isn’t exactly
close to Los Angeles.
State officials have also said that if you
do decide to leave California, you should
follow a set of guidelines including wearing
a mask and staying six feet away from anyone
you don't live with.
Kylie wasn’t seen wearing a mask in the
majority of her Paris photos or stories and
she’s also cozied up to her friend Fai Khadra.
As far as we know, Kylie and Fai don’t live
together, but who knows anymore these days.
It seemed like Kylie was also doing some sightseeing,
shopping, and fine dining while in Paris as
she posted pics from the Louvre, an Hermés
store, and at dinner with friends.
And as Kylie has been sharing all these pics
from her Paris getaway, fans have been calling
her out on social media.
One person wrote quote, “Kylie Jenner going
to Paris during Covid while the rest of the
world can’t travel or visit family in other
countries/states due to border restrictions
just doesn’t sit well with me.”
Another fan said “Why is Kylie Jenner in
Paris?
Pandemic not apply to you hun?”
This person tweeted saying “Kylie jenner
is really in Paris right now like were not
in a global pandemic.
Arent all countries supposed to be closed
to Americans?
It amazes me what money can do”
And this Twitter user threw some serious shade
writing “kylie jenner being in Paris in
the middle of a global pandemic has got to
be the most ignorant thing she has ever done.”
And there were tons more tweets just like
those.
Clearly fans are upset about Kylie traveling
to another country amid the ongoing crisis,
but did she actually do anything illegal or
break the non-essential travel bans by going
to Paris with her friends?
It technically depends on whether she's in
Paris for work or just a vacation.
Though chances are some of her friends that
are there with her aren't there for "urgent
matters" or "permitted work," as California
recommends.
The state's COVID-19 site says regarding travel
you can quote, “travel for urgent matters
or if such travel is essential to your permitted
work.
Even though businesses around the state are
opening up, avoid traveling long distances
for vacations or pleasure as much as possible.
This is to slow the spread of the coronavirus.”
Again, we’re not sure what Kylie and her
friends were doing in Paris, but based on
her stories it didn’t exactly seem like
essential travel.
This isn’t the first time though Kylie has
been under fire for traveling during the pandemic.
Earlier this month, she flew to Turks and
Caicos for her birthday vacation with Kendall
and some of their friends.
And last month, Kylie went to Utah with some
friends and they posted pics together on Instagram.
And regardless of if she’s flying on private
planes and getting COVID testing before traveling,
fans are still disappointed in the example
Kylie is setting to her hundreds of millions
of young fans during this crucial time.
We all have to be looking out for each other
and doing the best we can to stay socially
distant and wear a mask.
The pandemic isn’t over y’all!
