Was Kendall Jenner Banned from Uber?
Kim Kardashian West caused a fan uproar last night (surprisingly NOT for an Instagram ad!) when she tweeted that little sis and Vogue cover girl Kendall Jenner had been (gasp!) blocked from Uber, causing Kim to become her new chauffeur.
Before long, rumors were flying about what the model may have done to get herself in such a predicament — everyone wanted to know: Was she being a diva? Making the drivers wait too long? Did she get a bad rating? WHAT DID SHE DO?
Ugh I have to drive @KendallJenner around tonight bc she's banned from Uber! Why @Uber?!?! She's a "model" passenger!!!!!

The sisters were just as curious as the rest of us, taking to Snapchat to call the company out and ask what Kendall had done to be blocked.
Their query did not fall on deaf ears — Uber has since responded to the snafu.
“She has not been banned,” an Uber rep told ET. “It was a minor account issue that is being resolved. While it is being resolved her account was put on hold. Uber support has reached out.”
Hmmm. That sounds a little fishy to us — a minor account issue? Our best guess is Kendall was actually blocked, and then removed from the list when the company started making headlines over it. But since we can’t say for sure, we’ll just simply celebrate the fact that Kendall IS clear to ride again, as Kim has confirmed for us all via Twitter.
I think Uber reached out to Kendall and fixed the issue! https://t.co/h4W0KJUCGJ
