Kylie Jenner just shared a new Instagram/ TikTok video of herself and her influencer pals, Anastasia Karanikolaou and Carter Gregory, taking turns lip-syncing to Billie Eilish‘s catchy new tune “Birds Of A Feather” while sticking their heads out of a car’s windows on the move.

While many admirers complimented the Kylie Cosmetics mogul’s fashionable outfit and on-point makeup, some weren’t too keen on the video, calling it “cringe” and “disconnected,” particularly in the “dangerous” moments when Jenner, 26, stuck her head and upper body out of the car window. This follows an emotional and viral moment on her family’s Hulu reality show, where Jenner opened up about the toll of living under the spotlight, admitting to facing constant criticism and negativity online about her looks.

In a sneak peek of the upcoming episode of The Kardashians, the Khy founder was seen tearfully recounting the highs and lows of her public life, revealing the years of backlash she’s endured for her appearance. However, not long after the clip aired, she faced more criticism on X (formerly Twitter), with some users targeting her alleged “cosmetic procedures,” both acknowledged and speculated.

Fans React To Kylie Jenner’s ‘Cringe’ And ‘Disconnected’ Instagram Video After Tearful ‘Kardashians’ Scene Of Her Talking About Online Backlash Goes Viral

On June 13th, Jenner shared the video in the car along with model Karanikolaou, 27, and internet personality Gregory, 30 for her 399 million followers. The reality star captioned her post: “WE SHOULD STICK TOGETHER !! @staskaranikolaou @thacarterb.” Fans headed to the comments section to share their thoughts.

“Now this was kinda cringe,” one wrote as another added: “so disconnected.” Someone else replied: “They’re pushing 30 acting like 12 year olds.” The user then claimed: “And, strangely, it says Kylie’s name but, once again, it’s not her face. What video filter is she using?”

After the premiere of last week’s Kardashians episode, a preview of the next one was shared on June 13th. In the clip, Jenner could be seen sitting on a couch beside her older sister Kendall Jenner. “People have been talking about my looks since I was 13. It just gets exhausting,” the younger Jenner sis said with tears in her eyes.

The supermodel, 28, also teared up while listening to her sister. In another confessional scene, the mom of two (who shares daughter Stormi, 6, and son Aire, 2, with ex Travis Scott) said: "I hear nasty things about myself all the time." As the scene shifted back to the sisters on the couch, the younger Jenner disclosed: "Like, I’ve never cried about this before, but I guess it does affect me."

During the third season of the show, the Kylie Skin founder confronted the "public chatter" that frequently envelops her. However, she firmly stated at the time that she refused to let it affect her, at least not up to that point in her life. Moreover, she vehemently refuted the allegations that she underwent plastic surgery to rectify any personal insecurities, deeming such claims to be completely unfounded.

“I always remember being the most confident kid in the room,” she said then. “I always loved myself — I still love myself — and one of the biggest misconceptions about me is that I was this insecure child and I got so much surgery to change my whole face, which is false, I’ve only gotten fillers.”

Jenner has been no stranger to rumors about receiving Botox injections, lip fillers, cheek fillers and those that suggest she underwent other cosmetic procedures. Soon after this preview went viral, viewers headed to X to share their thoughts.

"Stop doing surgeries!" one tweeted regarding Jenner as another added: "You put yourself out there ..it can't all be good criticism your making $ off of your fame stop complaining." Someone else noted in another thread: "zero sympathy."

The Kardashians star admitted to pursuing lip fillers and undergoing breast augmentation surgery as a teenager but stressed in a November 2023 WSJ interview that she "never touched my face" regarding other rumored procedures like cheek fillers.

Apart from lip fillers, Jenner said: "I’ve never touched my face, but just even getting my breasts done when I was 19 and getting pregnant soon after, not obviously planning to be pregnant at 19. And I was never insecure about myself."

She went on: "I actually was always super confident and loved my body. I was just having fun. I was influenced by amazing boobs and was like, that’s what I wanted to do, and had fun with it." Jenner then admitted: "I probably just should have waited until I maybe had kids or let my body just develop." She then stressed that she has found motherhood to be about "teaching our kids to do better than us, be better versions of who we were."
