It’s already been decided that icon Mariah Carey won the #BottleCapChallenge, but there’s another celebrity one that deserves your attention now.
Kendall Jenner’s take on the viral social media challenge was equal parts epic and majorly controversial, and now people are taking to Twitter to slam her for it.
Instead of doing a roundhouse kick or singing the top off her beverage bottle of choice, Kendall knocked the cap off of what I’m assuming to be a bottle of sparkling water while riding a jet ski in the middle of the ocean. Which is beyond cool! But then all hell broke loose, because critics said she was harming the planet by letting the top fall into the water. (People also said she cheated and that the bottle cap was already off, but the subject of her her possibly polluting the ocean is taking up way more space on the feed.)
Here’s a little taste of what she's dealing with right now:
“Littering is not a ‘fun challenge.’ Next.”
“Great more plastic in the ocean for a useless challenge.”
“She put a bottle cap....in the ocean. is it a kill the sea creatures challenge?”
“She better pick that shit up!!!!!!”
“Why does she think that so impressive? Ok ok she got the attention she so much wanted and apparently needed. Do she feel better now? Next time do something more constructive & maybe save the planet or feed some starving kids somewhere? Use her fame wisely not stupidly!”Ooof.
Yes, yes, it’s true that we all need to take care of our planet, but in her defense, Kendall later commented on the post saying that she got the bottle cap back from the ocean in an effort to keep the sea critters safe, so there’s nothing to worry about.
Somewhere,
Kim Kardashian is wondering where that same cap-fetching energy was when she lost her diamonds in the ocean.
