Another model in the group, Elesha Turner, 22, believes that Kylie Jenner’s shoot “mocked” folks who really want wheelchairs.

But the 18-year-old’s latest photo shoot has come under fire from social media users, after she posed seductively in a wheelchair.
“But then I felt a bit taken aback by it because you think everything that we campaign for has been mocked in a way, because there are attractive models out there that want to model and are in wheelchairs or that have a disability that would love an opportunity like that”. That’s not unlike the supposed significance behind Lady Gaga’s 2008 music video for “Paparazzi”, which was also considered controversial because of Gaga’s use of crutches and a wheelchair in the vid.
“I’m way flashier on Instagram and Snapchat because I feel that’s what people want to see, and that’s what I’ve always done”, she says.
On missing out on a normal childhood, the beauty continued: “I feel like I’m going to look back and be like, ‘damn, I wish I could’ve just been a kid and done normal teenage stuff that my friends get to do'”.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star bares her butt is a new risqué cover shoot with Interview magazine.
“I, like so many more, visit a wheelchair as vital to me being in a position to get a “regular” life”. And it’s just completely torn me apart. “Lately, I’ve just been so over it”.
“So I kind of was online and just finding other girls and boys my age who have been bullied and have kind of overcome it and just done something incredible with it who inspire me”. Like, every single day I see something negative about me.
Jenner also talks about her ever-changing appearance, saying that it all started with a haircut.
As she continues to receive more and more attention, Kylie expresses it’s important to her to use her influence in a positive way and set the right example for her young fans. I think they’re handsome and artistic.
The 18-year-old cuts a very striking figure in the December/January issue of Interview magazine, donning a mix of saucy PVC and latex pieces.

“There is absolutely a side of me that people don’t know”.
