Kylie Jenner is under fire after a “tone deaf” photoshoot has been reshared online.
In a cover shoot for Interview magazine in 2015, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star posed in a wheelchair, with her ankles restrained in buckles.
Kylie, who is now 24, is seen looking listlessly in the distance in the shoot, with her hair sleekly styled in a black bob.
The concept of the shoot was thought to show how “surreal” Kylie’s life is, as someone who shot to international fame as a child, and has been in the limelight ever since.

However, the shoot is now facing fresh criticism after a disability blogger reshared the controversial magazine cover on Twitter.
“It’s a good day to remember that Kylie Jenner, Instagram’s third most followed person, did this cover 6 years ago to represent the ‘disability’ caused by her fame,” Alex from The Wheels Blog wrote. “Atrocious. But it didn’t mark her career because disability only serves for a temporary discomfort.”
The image garnered conversation, with many having not seen the cover before.

Resharing the image, one person wrote: “I can't believe she thought that this was ok.”
Another said: “So tone deaf and outta touch with reality it's insane.”
“What the f***,” said a third. “She was extremely outta line.”
“What was she thinking?” queried a fourth.

Tyla has contacted representatives for Kylie for comment.
Kylie has been quieter on social media in more recent months, having last posted a photo of herself with her sister, Kendall Jenner, on Instagram eight weeks ago.
She is currently pregnant with her second child, having welcomed her daughter Stormi in 2018.

Kylie is thought to be due any day now, with some fans of the Kardashian family speculating that the youngest of Kris Jenner’s daughters may have already secretly given birth.
