Alec Baldwin Wants Everyone to Cut Kendall Jenner a Break Over That Pepsi Ad
Kendall Jenner‘s Pepsi ad has pretty much been universally panned, which led the company to pull it quickly. Pepsi also issued an apology, and at the end even apologized to Jenner for putting her “in this position.” But lots of people weren’t convinced, and believe that, at 21 years old, she should take responsibility for her actions.
Alec Baldwin has now taken to Twitter to offer a different perspective, saying she’s a “young, inexperienced woman in an awful business,” and that instead of blaming her, we should “blame her management.”
1- Don’t blame @KendallJenner for that spot. Kendall is still a very young, inexperienced woman in an awful business. Blame her management

2- I remember when my daughter Ireland and Kendall were little kids in school. I think it’s unfair to rake these younger ppl over the coals

3- The US is such a sadistically shame-based, blame-centered culture…

Responses to Baldwin’s defense of Jenner were mixed. Some agree with him:
@ABFalecbaldwin @KendallJenner I blame @pepsi for thinking it was a good idea.

@ABFalecbaldwin @KendallJenner I feel bad for her. She didn’t write the ad. I don’t think she had much control of the content. Though, her response by ignoring it is weird

Others think she should take responsibility… and reminded Baldwin that the management he thinks should be fired is none other than her mother, Kris Jenner.
@ABFalecbaldwin @KendallJenner So, at what age should @KendallJenner be responsible for herself?

@ABFalecbaldwin @KendallJenner that’s not an excuse. she and her family are quite experienced at this. she should have known better.
