Kylie Jenner Is Missing from the Kardashian Family Christmas Card and Fans Are Not Happy

Kat Armstrong
Dec 26, 2017

After teasing fans for most of December with outtakes from the family’s annual holiday card photo shoot, Kim Kardashian West revealed the *final* picture in her “25 Days of Christmas” series on Christmas day. Given all the build-up to the big moment, fans speculated that the last photo would be a special one, and that Kylie Jenner — who is rumored to be pregnant — would make her first appearance, since she wasn’t in any of the teaser shots. But what fans expected isn’t what they got.

In the past, the Kardashian-Jenners have rocked black-tie attire and dramatic poses for their annual Christmas photo, although their cutest card was probably 2015’s, which featured the first four grandkids, Mason, Penelope, North, and Reign. This year’s card was a bit of a departure for the family, as it showed them in a much more casual, candid setting.

The final photo — which Kardashian West captioned, “DAY 25 MERRY CHRISTMAS” — featured the KarJenner ladies, sans Kylie, and the kids, all in matching denim and white tops. No significant others, and no Rob Kardashian. Just four of the five sisters, momager Kris Jenner, her mother MJ, and the six little ones, against a stark white background with a bare Christmas tree.

Fans were not happy with the reveal, mostly because they expected something epic — like Kylie confirming her rumored pregnancy.

There were a lot of memes, natch.

Kylie has stayed pretty quiet on social media in recent weeks, but the 20-year-old makeup mogul did share her final magazine cover of the year on Instagram yesterday. Her cover shot for Love magazine was snapped by big sis Kendall, and her interview inside was done by mom Kris Jenner.

“When you take a sip of Iced Cherry Chai, you immediately get a creamy texture, warm spices, and notes of cherry – and it all comes together in an approachable way,” said Billy Altieri, lead beverage developer for Starbucks. “There’s a fun and whimsical element to the Iced Cherry Chai, while at the same time feeling modern and sophisticated."

Millie Bobby Brown Claps Back At "Disturbing" Body Shamers

If you've been on the internet at all since Stranger Things premiered, there's a good chance you've witnessed how Millie Bobby Brown simply cannot catch a break. As a young girl, the actress (who plays Eleven on the hit Netflix series) was criticized for talking too much in interviews (then criticized for being silent the next year), and as she's gotten older, there has been endless conversation about her marriage, her sense of humor, and most recently, her makeup and body during The Electric State's press run. And she just called the press out — by name.

Here's what Millie Bobby Brown had to say to those body shamers after The Electric State premiere.

Haters flooded Netflix's Instagram comments to criticize Millie Bobby Brown's look.

Videos from the February 24 premiere of The Electric State immediately went viral — and not just because everyone asked directors Joe and Anthony Russo about Avengers: Doomsday. Throughout the movie's press run Millie Bobby Brown has been leaning into the Britney Spears 90s glam of it all, but while she's looked amazing the whole time, both press and Instagram users went out of their way to criticize her red carpet photos.

"babe you’re 21 not 41, jeez it’s so sad beautiful girls getting work done to look twice their age and bad," one user commented on Netflix's official Instagram.

"She looks like a mid aged woman with that hair style and dye," said another user, while others called her "tacky" and "old."

Although if you ask me, it's tearing women down that's tacky. And Millie Bobby Brown weighed in on the comments.

And Millie spoke out on the hate.

A post shared by Millie Bobby Brown (@milliebobbybrown)

Millie Bobby Brown posted a reel to Instagram on March 3 to speak out on the criticism. This video breaks my heart, not just because of the content itself, but because you can just see in her eyes how tired she is. If I was constantly receiving hate from millions of people — no matter what I did — I'd be tired too!

"I started in this industry when I was 10 years old. I grew up in front of the world, and for some reason, people can’t seem to grow with me. Instead, they act like I’m supposed to stay frozen in time, like I should still look the way I did on Stranger Things Season 1. And because I don’t, I’m now a target," she says in the video, going on to discuss "the articles, the headlines, the people who are so desperate to tear young women down."

After naming some of the articles' headlines, and their authors, Millie goes on to say that "this isn’t journalism. This is bullying."

"The fact that adult writers are spending their time dissecting my face, my body, my choices, it’s disturbing," she continues. "The fact that some of these articles are written by women? Even worse. We always talk about supporting and uplifting young women, but when the time comes, it seems easier to tear them down for clicks."

Since Stranger Things premiered in 2016, Millie Bobby Brown has proven that she marches to the beat of her own drum. "Disillusioned people can’t handle seeing a girl become a woman on her terms, not theirs. I refuse to apologize for growing up. I refuse to make myself smaller to fit the unrealistic expectations of people who can’t handle seeing a girl become a woman," she says. "I will not be shamed for how I look, how I dress, or how I present myself."

"We have become a society where it’s so much easier to criticize than it is to pay a compliment. Why is the knee-jerk reaction to say something horrible rather than to say something nice?" she continues. "If you have a problem with that, I have to wonder—what is it that actually makes you so uncomfortable? Let’s do better. Not just for me, but for every young girl who deserves to grow up without fear of being torn apart for simply existing."
