Kris Jenner faces backlash after praising North West’s magazine cover

Kris Jenner is facing online criticism following her latest show of support for granddaughter North West.

Kris Jenner is facing online criticism following her latest show of support for granddaughter North West. On Tuesday, August 25, the 70-year-old took to Instagram to celebrate a major milestone for the teenager.

North, the eldest daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, recently entered her teenage years and marked the occasion with a solo cover appearance on Dazed Magazine’s September issue.

Kris shared the news with an enthusiastic caption celebrating her granddaughter’s achievement, tagging both the magazine and North directly.

Despite the celebratory tone, the post quickly drew backlash online. Social media users criticised Kris, along with North’s parents, for what they described as permissive attitudes toward the teenager’s fashion choices and early career moves.

Several commenters expressed concern over the direction of North’s public image. One user questioned how anyone could feel proud of the situation, while another urged the family to set better examples going forward.

Additional comments echoed similar sentiments, with users calling for more responsible guidance from the adults around her. Some reactions were sharply critical, with one commenter calling the situation completely unacceptable, while another expressed sympathy for North directly, hoping she would find her own path moving forward.

North West has built a public profile of her own in recent years, working as a rapper, singer and record producer. As the eldest child of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, she’s grown up largely in the public eye since birth.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian married in May 2014 and welcomed North as their first child the previous year, in June 2013. The former couple went on to have three more children together, sons Saint and Psalm, and daughter Chicago.

Kardashian and West filed for divorce in January 2021, ending their marriage after several years together. Since the split, both have continued to navigate co-parenting duties while remaining prominent figures in the public eye, with North’s growing visibility now adding a fresh layer of public scrutiny for the family.
