Budding fashion model Kendall Jenner dropped her last name professionally in an effort to distance herself from her infamous reality TV family— but it seems the damage has already been done.
According to In Touch, the 18-year-old was bullied by fellow catwalk queens during New York Fashion Week earlier this month.
“The other models worked so hard to get a spot on the runway and didn’t think it was fair that she was there,” an insider explained to the magazine, referring to the widely-held belief that Jenner’s name and brother-in-law Kanye West’s connections
snagged her high-profile gigs. “They thought she was getting special treatment and just weren’t okay with it.”
Rather than shrug off the injustice, the models decided to “mess” with the teen, who walked for the Marc Jacobs, Diane Von Furstenberg and Tommy Hilfiger shows.
“They started acting so bitchy— some even put out their cigarettes in Kendall’s drink!” the insider reveals. “Models can be cruel, especially with someone new and entitled.”
Jenner recently spoke out her desperate need to be treated like a self-made model, not a reality star spawn.
“I want to be high fashion,” she told LOVE magazine this summer. “I want to be taken seriously.”
