During an interview withLovemagazine, the 22-year-oldKeeping Up With the Kardashianstarrevealedthat she has the option to book a certain number of runway appearances in comparison to fellow models.
“Since the beginning we’ve been super selective about what shows I would do,” Jenner told the publication.
“I was never one of those girls who would do like 30 shows a season or whatever the f— those girls do,” Jenner added.
“I was misrepresented in a recent interview over the wknd & it’s important to clarify the meaning,” Jenner wrote. “It was intended to be entirely complimentary but unfortunately, my words were twisted & taken out of context. I want to be clear. The respect that I have for my peers is immeasurable!”
Jenner then went on to praise fellow models for their hard work.

“I get to experience first hand their tireless commitment, their work ethic, the endless days, the lack of sleep, separation from family and friends, stress of traveling, the toll on physical and mental health, yet they still make it all look effortless and beautiful,” she said.
Before Jenner’s apology, a number ofmodels slammedher on social media.
“Never been so indirectly and publicly offended in my whole entire life… to be called a supermodel how easy it comes to you,” Irina Djuranovic expressed on Instagram.
Sports Illustratedmodel Vita Sidorkina also fired back at the reality star: “Maybe ‘those girls’ need to pay their bills that’s why they are doing 30 shows? No words…”
