EXCLUSIVE: Kendall Jenner Responds to Critics of Her Bikini Pics

She is as gorgeous as everyone else in that family! Happy to see she is enjoying being a kid.

Gorgeous….yes. They all are. But enjoyng being a kid? Seriously?? No 14 yr old KID should be posing for these kinds of pictures.

I think she does look good but why can’t she be 14 for awhile. These young girls are in such a hurry to grow up.

Sounds like there are alot of jealous people out there……

Oh good lord….she is young and gorgeous.
Please, she has plenty of time to wear sweats, stretchy pants and old lady clothes. This is the time for her to be young and beautiful and enjoy it.
The puritans should keep their mouths shut.

She does look good. And, true, she’s not posing provacatively or dressed offensively. And she certainly sounds very intelligent, if she did, in fact, make these comments. I guess it’s just that she looks like a young woman and 14 is a far cry from. Why couldn’t they wait until she was 18 to start her modeling career. I think there starts the problem when the parents allow, even encourage young children to do WHATEVER MAKES THEM HAPPY. With freedom comes responsibility. And children simply are not that responsible. That’s why the parents are there to teach and protect. I wish her good luck and safety.

I think shes pretty covered up as compared to pics 14 year old take at home. She is beautiful. There is nothing provocative about this photo.

Aren’t most models pretty young when they start out? And what 14 yr old doesn’t wear a bikini? It’s not a big deal, relax people….the bigger issue is why are the Kardashians EVERYWHERE!!??

I’m sorry, but she’s 14?? I’m not saying all the 14-year-olds of the world should be wearing turtlenecks and long pants, but this is ridiculous! She’s way too young to be wearing that! I’m 27 and don’t even wear that little!!

Kendall is gorgeous!!! She looks like a young
Ali Macgraw!!!

She looks so much like Kloe here !!!

She’s adorable. Great pic of her and nice to see that she is so down to earth. Awesome family :)

I think she’s gorgeous…let her model

A lot of people on here keep saying that the picture is appropriate & looks fine but obviously u all haven’t seen ALL the photos from this shoot b/c they are way to sexy & revealing for a 14 year old.

She is so pretty. You go girl.

She does look just like Khloe in this picture! Leave her alone…I’m sure she will be fine, she has all those big sisters looking out for her! There’s nothing wrong with the picture.

She is absolutely stunning to the point I thought she had to be in her late teens or early twenties… The problem I have with this is why she is modeling in a bikini… who are the audiences that they are trying to reach here? I would probably say men… now tell me how this doesn’t encourage young girls that have barely gotten through puberty that it is ok to do this and get men’s attention… I think that until she is able to take care of herself then something a little less “sexy” would be more appropriate… I just think that it is sending the wrong message and I don’t agree with what most of these 14 year olds are wearing now anyways… I have an 11 year old girl and just cringe thinking that this is coming lol… I mean the first thing I thought when I saw was a Victoria’s secret model which is geared to sell “sexy or sex” and that is the message that she is sending whether it is a provocative pose or not… again not to take away from her beauty just think that we shouldn’t encourage our little girls to grow up so fast and try to look too sexy before they can make good sound decisions when the opposite sex approaches them…

Oh my, I thought that was Angie Harmon. Go figure.

wonder who wrote that statement for her?

She is not a Kardashian!!!

She’s a gorgeous young lady and has every right to wear a bikini.

Its no different than what girls her age are wearing at a beach near you. Go have a lookie. If you think its too provocative, you really need to lighten up.

And, if ‘you’ wouldn’t wear something like that, chances are you shouldn’t.

She’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It didn’t even register who this was at first! You go girl!

I think Kendall looks AMAZING!! Congrats on the Modeling, You go girl!!!!

No one said she was a Kardashian. LOl!

Haters back the heck off! She looks good!

[...] into this to shoot, it was never my intention to cause racial," said Kendall people . "It was a session of beach and wearing beachwear. I'm happy with my age, and I'm not [...]

Yes she is stunning and beautiful! She is 14 and looks way beyond that however. Where as this picture shows her just sitting on the beach some of the other shots that have shown up from this same shoot are more provocative. Good for her for following her dreams, but I think mom and dad should take a second look and have a little more say in what she models at such a young age. Sitting on a rock….ok for a 14 year old, rolling around in the sand with her boobs pushed together in a bikini top…not so much!

She is by far the most beautiful and intelligent one of them all. i just pray her dad keeps on her and that she stays a kid, enjoys herself,gets educated and NEVER EVER do a sex tape.

I don’t think she should be doing this, either, and it has nothing to do with jealousy. Kendall is a beautiful girl – all the Kardashian sisters are. But there are 2 ways a girl can come across posing in a bathing suit like this – “here it is” or “come and get it.” There is absolutely nothing wrong with “here it is” but you don’t have to to be a rocket scientist to figure out what kind of message is sent with “come and get it.” Some of the shots were okay but in others you can see that she doesn’t have the emotional maturity to carry off the shot and it comes across as far more daring than a girl her age should exude or that she may have meant to do. If you looked at this picture and didn’t know the model was 14 you wouldnt’ know and that shouldn’t be that way.

Wow – Kendall looks beautiful. I hope she grows up slowly and not cause all the trouble and mishaps that the older Kardashian girls have. Stay responsible Kendall…She does look like Klhoe.

they make them look a certain way. she is average looking who cares about them.

She’s 14 years old, for Chrissakes. Put on a sweater.

I agree with shane. Take advantage of these days….. she has every right to be a model. I love this family.

These days model life is really popular soo at teenagers. This picture is really innocent anyway and a lot of girls have photos posing on the beach in their bikini. Now everybody is just supporting her…i give her 2/3 years that what kind of model she will be (actually being naked minimum at the upper body photo is a part of every top/succesful/famous model’s job)

I think she looks great and is plenty covered up for her age. Even if she had the top showing it would be fine….14 year olds do wear bikinis. I hope she does stay true to what she says about not growing up to fast…..which I don’t think dad would let happen. Congrats on the photo shoot….you are stunning just like the rest of your family!

You may not like Kris but unlike Khloe,Kim,and Kourtney. Kendall is Bruce;s daughter and he is not gonna let her go to extreme so chill its a Gorgeous picture

Kendall is beautiful, looks just like sis Khloe. How lucky can you be. Let her live her life.

Very, very, pretty i always thought she looked like Khloe and i also always thought Khloe was cute.

They are great pics of Kendall and she is very beautiful. I do not think they were racy at all. Take a look at what 9-12 year olds are wearing to the beach. Most of the people are just mad because of the family she comes from. I saw the show where her dad was a little upset because they told him they were on a girls weekend and not a photo shoot. Keep it up Kendall.

As a mom with a young daughter, I see nothing wrong with her picture. She’s a beautiful young lady. She looks like Khloe.

That entire family is cursed with the GORGEOUS bug! They just can’t lose when it comes to good looks. I think Kris is simply the cat’s meow.

She looks great. Most 14 year old are wearing the exact same bikini and coverup…Good job kiddo!!!

Besides it’s not like she dresses this way everyday and everywhere she goes, she’s doing her job and getting paid well. If fact she’ll be able to put herself through college when the time comes.

People are taking this too seriously and its only because she is “technically” a Kardashian.

This is what many models have done and will continue to do when they break into modeling. I think she did a fabulous job and is a very stunning girl

looks like she is flippi off the camera.

I think the photo is beautiful. These “controversies” keep coming up every couple of years. I can remember when Nikki Taylor had photos as a teen model that were considered risque. Remember Brooke Shields famous Calvin commercial! I think we all need to stop assuming that someone is going to spiral out of control just because they are modeling in a swimsuit at 14. Have you walked through a high school full of freshmen lately. Low cut and cleavage is a common site. I pull my daughters shirts up and down to cover up regularly but they are both honor students at 14 & 16.

Way too young!

Maybe the real point is that no 14 yr old should be a model for adult clothing. If a model is under 18 yrs old then no adult clothing.If 14 yr olds started wearing age appropriate clothing in the ads maybe then we would have 14 yr olds wearing age appropriate clothing in the real world. It’s a shame that parents and children try to have them grow up so fast-and for what- to be like the Lohan’s? Get rid of child beauty pageants, children wearing adult clothing, much of it provocative, and then maybe we can have our CHILDREN back. BTW-don’t blame the child wanting to wear adult clothing, like bikinis and thong underwear, blame the parents for letting the child wear them.

She is completely covered, what’s the big deal?

Many posters here are asking why she couldn’t wait until she was 18 to start modeling. That is considered old in the biz. Most girls start at 12, 13. That is the simple truth. Most models are out of the biz by their early 20s so they have to start young to build up their books & start to get jobs.

These pix were done for her portfolio. Models have to include ALL kinds of pix in their books. Clients need to see what their bodies look like, they need to see them in very glam shots & well as natural shots. They need to do close-up “beauty” shots….the product they are selling is their face/body. Clients need to see it in many different ways so they can decide if the model is right for the job.

Plain & Simple. It’s a nutty bix but that is the way it works.

Since when did looking like Khloe become a good thing, remember, Khloe is the pig of the family. I wonder how many friends of the family wrote their comments in this time. I think the first round of comments was much more authenitic. Kris Jenner is a snake that would sell her kids to the devil for the right price. – Wait she already has. Kris, how much of Bruce’s money have you stolen without his knowledge?

[...] am excited to be working as a model, doing what I love to do,” she told People. “My entire family was very supportive, though my dad was a bit concerned at first, he [...]

OMG I think she is beautiful and as for this picture she is not showing too much skin or acting provocative. What other field do you really think she would go into but something like modeling with her “Looks” and coming from that famous family?? Really?

evelyngarone.com

If you’d seen the full set of beach shots, you’d understand the uproar. She has some very provacative shots with two that have the bikini top barely containing her nipple. I don’t think she’s living the life of a 14 year old at all!

Good for her!

I think she looks beautiful. She should be proud of who she is and thankful she has a supportive family.

OMG she looks just like KHLOE! KHLOE has always been my favorite! Young & beautiful good for you!

I am really tired of people talking about how bad the Kardashian girls are. They are not bad girls at all. They are normal kids living in fast times. They have made mistakes but so have we all. Bruce and Kris haved 10 kids between them. I have never heard of any of them being in drug rehab. That is a major accomplishment today. They work and make their own money. They are not living off mommy and daddy with the exception of the younger kids. Kate Hudson has slept with more men in the last two years than all three of the Kardashian girls in the last five years. I think Bruce and Kris have done an amazing job raising these kids considering that they were born with a silver spoons in their mouths. I see so many kids that are horrible such as Lindsey Lohan, Michael Douglas’ son, etc. I could go on and these parents were only responsible for two or three kids. Bruce and Kris have been responsible or partially responsible for 10. I say they are amazing parents. Maybe Kris is money hungry but those kids are grounded. Give them a break. How many kids have you raised? It is not easy. Parents do the best they can and they will make mistakes.

She looks jsut like Khloe, and there is a pic of her with her “boobs” hanging out, if you can even call them that. This 14 year old CHILD is not sexy and she shouldnt be portrayed as such.

It’s funny how you can’t make a positive statement anymore without people always assuming “you’re hating”. It’s soo funny how the world is now!! Honeslty, if she wants to be a model at 14, let her be! Money talks people. Besides, she is very beautiful. No, she doesn’t look 14 at all but if her parents approved of it, then who are we to say or judge anything. As long as you’re still sleepin at night, let it be.

As Soon as I saw this picture, I saw Khloe! Beautiful, Kendall! Go slow, seetheart! Sounds like Chris and Bruce are acitve in this business. My best to you!

Sorry, but I don’t think this is appropriate for a 14 year old kid. I DO think it is too provocative and I’m sorry but not all 14 year olds dress this way. She looks way older than 14.

No kid yourself; she got the job because she’s a Kardashian/Jenner.

Wow she looks like Khloe – those genes run deep!

She is so beyond gorgeous, naturally. This girl is the next big thing in modelling to come, supermodel, Victoria Secret material. She’s going to take over and everyone has their rise and fall and I actually think Kim will have her fall soon. Worst thing she could’ve done was tampered with her face, botoxed, fillers etc…she has ruined what was one of the most beautiful faces out there. Silly girl! Kim looks like one of those LA chicks that go too far with plastic surery- she looks like Heidi Montag…too much!

No one needs a explaination…. you are a beautiful young women.. Great Job

I don’t see what all the fuss is about. Sure, she’s 14, but does anyone else not see what typical 14 year olds wear nowadays? Plus, for a beachwear shoot, it’s not like she’s showing off her goods or anything–her chest is always covered and she’s just showing off her legs. Plus, when models are minors, don’t they have to have some sort of supervision during shoots? If that’s the case, I bet Kris would’ve said no to things she didn’t think were appropriate for her daughter. Everyone just needs to chill out.

I think the shoot was done tastefully. Like she said, she’s on a beach wearing “beachwear”. Nothing innapropriate about that. She looks beautiful and natural and not overly exposed for her age. I’m glad she gets the priviledge to do something she’s passionate and excited about and she looks like a natural doing it!

@ p.m. she does look like a younger Khloe. Cute pic.

Kate Moss- 14, Gisele Bundchen- 14, Cindy Crawford- 16, Naomi Campbell-16…. If these famous models could do it at such an “early age”, then why is it sooooo wrong that Kendall is starting at 14? People need to lighten up just a little bit! If you havent noticed kids are doing A LOT of things these days at an early age- some good things, some bad but still- you get my point!!!! I just think everyone making hateful comments are just haters! I guarantee if their children were out there modeling and bringing home the money they wouldnt be complaing!! Congrats Kendall- keep up the great work! You and your pictures are beautiful!

She seems like a well grounded young girl, Her family is gorgeous and they all seem supportive of one another. I hope she does well with her career in the future.

seriously… she is wearing a bikini which they make for like infants.. and she is even wearing a cover up… people need to chill out!

Her photos are gorgeous and she should be proud of them. I think that as long as she is happy and the pics being taken of her are tasteful, keeping in mind her age, she should have at it!

Tastefully done, shows nothing,and she IS 14. Nothing provocative about this. Guess some want to be prudish about EVERYTHING that doesn’t include them or their family. She is pretty, as most 14 yr olds are (my granddaughters are lovely at that age) and yes, they do have bodies. But she is NOT showing anything off such as cleavage, butts hanging out, etc. If this bothers someone, they most certainly need to not go to any beaches in the near future.

She’s fourteen?????? She looks every bit of 20 or more years old. This type of make-up and provocative posing is exactly why children of celebrities grow up so fast and become involved in things they shouldn’t know about until they become an adult.

Wow…she is soooo much more beautiful than the other members of the family…Hopefully she gets her fame from something that she is working towards as a pose to other ways other family members have obtained it
Keep it up..and remember that you are still 14 years of age..

My GOSH. She is BEAUTIFUL. I’m 14, I look nothing like that. I’m jealous of her now. She looks like a 20 something year old model- instead of a kid my age. Are you sure she’s 14??? Grrrrr, jealousy. lol

First of all, she’s gorgeous. Naturally beautiful. That whole family is.
Second, this isn’t a provocative picture at all. She’s wearing a sheer top and a bikini. I agree with those who are saying she’s covering more than most 14 year olds. Girls that age are exposed to things no matter if they’re famous or not. It’s a vulnerable age, have you seen myspace/facebook??? the “miley cyrus” shots. It happens. Maybe not to everyone, but it happens.
Kendall is not baring her chest, she’s not bent over on a car or something. She’s simply posing for a photo shoot in a tasteful way.

As for those believing she’s in the limelight at too young of an age, how can she not be? She grew up in a famous family, she’s going to be in the limelight whether she models or not. She’s just doing something she loves and I think it’s great that she gets that opportunity. Sad that she has to defend it so much though…

This is old fashioned of me I know but she is after all a child. Should a child be wearing a string bikini?

Is this the same girl that was swinging from the pole in her parents bedroom while they were out of town (Season 1 of Keeping up With the Kardashians)? I give her 2 years before a “tape” surfaces of her…she will just be following her big sister’s lead! That is how they got famous. No hating here, just the facts.

Speaking as a mother of a teenaged girl, if this were my daughter, the pictures don’t see the light of day. Inappropriate for her age, by the realistic standard. If she’s 18 of 21, they’re tasteful, but, by virtue of her age, they are not.

It’s hardly puritan to wish a childhood on someone. Showing concern for a young girl who’s posing as a 21 year old all made up, cleaveage showing is hardly puritan and has nothing to do with jealousy. I think she’s beautiful and I’m happy for her for that. But man, one poster says she has the rest of her life to wear stretchy pants, etc…. but she also has the rest of her life to pose like an adult in bikinis. Once your childhood’s gone, it’s gone. Please Kris and Bruce, parent your daughter better. You’re being very irresponsible parents. Be wise and listen to people, instead of getting all defensive and immature and refusing to correct your mistakes. She’s still a little girl, no matter what she looks like.

She is not posing provocatively and she is wearing beachwear. She is also a normal age for high fashion models starting out. If you’re going to target someone, target the high fashion industry for using young girls. I think she looks beautiful and not at all inappropriate and she and her family should be proud. I also think her facial bone structure does resemble Khloe.

agree w pm…she looks like khloe. beautiful gal!

Hef needs to call her in a few years. She is smokin’ hot and will only continue to get hotter!!!

Yeah, what’s wrong (or could go wrong) with checking out pictures of a model, fantasising about having sex with her, and then finding out she’s 14? But everyone is doing it, so it must be ok.

if she has to defend her actions she knows she is wrong. I don’t give a hoot how much her family stands behind her, that’s not a surprise, they, after all, make their living with sextapes, being drunk and sponging off of Lamar, having kids out of wedlock, being carried off into bedrooms for a romp, that family is evil personafied.

I wore skimpy stuff when I was 14, my mom didn’t have a problem with it. It’s a beach photo! What is she supposed to have worn? Yes, unfortunately it’s true they want the youngest (but could pass for older) models they can find. Most probably don’t realize how young the girls are that model in provocative ads. I don’t care for the Kardashians, only donating 10% of the proceeds from their eBay charity auction items:sick money grubbers, 14 is not an unusual age to start doing this sort of modeling is all.
