Kylie Jenner Responds to
GoFundMe Backlash;, ‘This Got
so Twisted’.
Kylie Jenner took to Instagram on
Monday to address the backlash she’s
been receiving on social media.
Fans got mad at the 23-year-old
after she asked them to donate to
a GoFundMe campaign.
The campaign was for her old friend and
celebrity makeup artist Samuel Rauda, who required
major surgery after a serious accident. .
Many were upset that Jenner, who is
estimated to be worth $700 million, only donated
$5,000 and was asking fans to help. .
In her new post, Jenner cleared up the
“false narrative” and lamented that she was
just trying to raise “awareness” when
“all of this got so twisted.”.
[I] thought I’d post on my stories to
gain more awareness if anyone also
felt compelled to share or donate. , Kylie Jenner, via Instagram.
She clarified that she and Rauda no
longer “have a personal relationship,” but that
she still thought he was “the sweetest.” .
I saw my current makeup artist
and friend Ariel post about Sam’s
accident and his family’s gofundme
and I called Ariel immediately to
see what happened to Sam. , Kylie Jenner, via Instagram.
Jenner also addressed her $5,000 donation,
saying she chose that amount to help the
campaign “reach their original goal.” .
After learning in more detail about
the accident it compelled me to visit
his gofundme which was set at 10k.
They had already raised 6k so I put
[in] 5k to reach their original goal, Kylie Jenner, via Instagram
