Another member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan is out to break the internet. This time, it’s Kylie Jenner’s nude photo for Playboy with boyfriend Travis Scott that is threatening to eclipse big sis Kim Kardashian West’s iconic 2014 Paper magazine cover. Jenner dropped the first look early on Tuesday, and it has already racked up more than 10 million likes. But, not surprisingly, it’s getting a bit of pushback, too.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star shared the photo — which prominently features her bare back and derriere — on Instagram. “When Houston meets LA..,” she wrote, alluding to Scott’s hometown and her own birthplace. Jenner tagged Playboy in the photo and added “#ComingSoon.” According to Playboy, Jenner and Scott took part in the intimate photoshoot as part of the mag’s Pleasure Issue, which means there are more photos where this one came from.
With the photo garnering so much attention, it was only a matter of time before someone showed up in Jenner’s feed to scrutinize the risqué photo. In this case, critics seem to take issue with the fact that Jenner and Scott are parents. Their daughter, Stormi Webster, is 19 months old. Wrote one commenter, “Imagine their kid growing up and seeing this.” Another asked, “Really? What are you teaching our young girls?”

Still, the photo was largely met with praise and approval — especially by Jenner’s family and famous friends. Khloe Kardashian alone was responsible for a string of positive comments, writing, “Ohhhhhhhhh good morning!” and “Shhhooooookkt.” And, really, there are arguments to be made against conflating Jenner being a mom with an obligation to be demure. Becoming a mom doesn’t mean a woman becomes a less sexual being, or that her body should be covered up. Plus, Jenner is just 22.
In any case, Jenner’s NSFW photo isn’t the only reason she’s grabbing headlines today. Yesterday, to kick off the 17th season of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Kylie Cosmetics mogul gifted a women’s empowerment organization with $750,000. The group, called Nest of Love, mentors young women and was founded by Samantha Gil. So, to recognize the good work of Gil and her group, Jenner gave the organization $150,000, Gil $100,000 and each member of the organization $50,000. Looks like it isn’t just clothing Jenner’s shedding this week.
