After Kris Jenner recently posted a new Oreo ad that she starred in, a swarm of fans flooded Instagram, deeming her appearance “unrecognizable” and “over-filtered,” leaving many perplexed. On January 17th, the “momager” and Kardashians matriarch, 68, shared the ad with her 52.7 million followers, in which she wore a chic red blazer with gold buttons, matching shiny hoop earrings and a black top underneath.

Kris Jenner Sparks Criticism For ‘Heavy Filtering’ After New Oreo Ad Goes Viral
Jenner captioned the post: “Every story has a twist.” Many fans in the comment section noted that the reality star’s skin looked “blurred” and that her spiky newly layered ‘do reminded them of the haircut she had during season one of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. “How did we get here? Well, to answer that, I’d have to go back to the beginning,” Jenner said while twisting one Oreo and cookie before showing a stacked glass jar of them “I better go warn the kids.”
Despite the nostalgic nature of the clip, several comments noted an unusual aspect of Jenner’s appearance, implying that something was “off” or different. “Is that AI or just a lot of filter?” one commented as someone else replied: “This is an AI commercial.” One other added: “Is this AI Kris?” as another concurred: “Did.. did they ai kris jenner.”
In the ad, Jenner rocked thick black liner, smokey eyeshadow, voluminous lashes, rosy blush and a mauve lipstick. Jenner aimed to promote her upcoming Super Bowl commercial with this teaser, but it seemed that many fans just “couldn’t get over” the airbrushed look of her skin in it rather than its funny and throwback sentiment.

While Jenner has yet to respond to these fresh filtering accusations, it also isn’t the first time she’s been accused of either heavily editing her posts or sharing very digitally altered images of herself. Back in August 2023, she was criticized for potentially applying a heavy filter to a video of herself, which was recorded after she got professional makeup done. Jenner posed for her makeup artist, Samer Khouzami, who displayed his work on Instagram.
In the August 28th post, Jenner can be seen exhibiting her glamorous look for the day while smiling for the camera, as an audio clip from her family’s Hulu show The Kardashians played in the background. She sported a polka dotted, button-down top, glittery silver hoop earrings, and her signature tousled bob. As for her glam, the mom of six went for smokey eye makeup with lengthy lashes and skillful eyeliner. Her artist added radiant blush and a glossy pink lip.
Nonetheless, Jenner’s face was noticeably free from any imperfections, devoid of wrinkles or blemishes. Fans headed to the post’s comment section to share their thoughts. “This filter is tooooo much. You aren’t fooling anyone. Ridiculous,” one wrote. Someone else added in response on Reddit: “Omg what is this! It’s so bad it looks like AI.”
Another user on Instagram wrote after seeing the clip: “What the hell is happening that’s not her face.” One other replied: “Idk but it’s scary.” Furthermore, another individual stated: “This is the stuff that perpetuates body dysmorphia as Kris sees this video and then looks at her face in the mirror and it doesn’t match.”
