Kylie Jenner, the beauty mogul and reality television star, has found herself at the centre of a social media storm following a seemingly innocent comment about her eye colour. The controversy erupted after the 26-year-old responded to a fan's compliment about her "natural" green eyes.
In a now-viral exchange, a follower praised Jenner's "stunning green eyes," to which the Kylie Cosmetics founder replied, "They're natural." This simple assertion immediately triggered a wave of scepticism across various social media platforms, with users quickly digging up past photos that appear to tell a different story.
The Evidence Against
Critics were swift to assemble what they consider compelling evidence contradicting Jenner's claim. Numerous social media users shared side-by-side comparisons showing the star with noticeably different eye colours throughout her years in the public eye.
Key points raised by sceptics include:
- Archive photographs from Jenner's teenage years appear to show her with darker, brown eyes
- Previous red carpet appearances where her eyes appeared hazel or light brown
- The striking emerald green shade she currently sports seems to have emerged more recently
Social Media Reacts
The online response has been overwhelmingly critical, with many accusing the billionaire of being "delusional" or deliberately misleading. One Twitter user commented, "The revision of history is truly astonishing," while another wrote, "She really thinks we don't have Google or memory."
However, some defenders have pointed to scientific explanations, noting that eye colour can sometimes appear to change in different lighting conditions or as people age. Others have suggested she might be using coloured contact lenses rather than claiming a permanent natural change.
A Pattern of Scrutiny
This isn't the first time Jenner has faced questions about her natural features versus cosmetic enhancements. The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has been open about some procedures while remaining silent on others, maintaining an aura of mystery around her beauty evolution.
The incident highlights the intense scrutiny celebrities face regarding their appearance and the fine line between personal branding and perceived authenticity in the age of social media.
