Kendall and Kylie Jenner Are Being Sued Over Those "Disrespectful" T-Shirts

Update 08/07: Kendall and Kylie are reportedly getting sued for the controversial T-shirts, according to The Fashion Law. Photographer Michael Miller filed a copyright lawsuit against the Jenners for using two photos of Tupac Shakur that he holds the copyright to. The Jenners have yet to respond.

Original story 01/07: Kendall and Kylie Jenner have apologised after their new T-shirt collection attracted widespread criticism.

The sisters superimposed their faces over images of legendary musicians such as Biggie Smalls, Tupac and Pink Floyd, which were then printed on T-shirts. The collection received huge backlash by the public and also by Biggie Smalls' mother, Voletta Wallace, who described the range as "disrespectful", "disgusting" and "exploitative". The line was removed soon after and all related social media posts deleted.

The Jenners have since said that they never meant to offend anyone and pledged to learn from the experience. The statement was shared first by Kylie Jenner, and then retweeted by sister Kendall.

"These designs were not well thought out and we deeply apologise to anyone that has been upset and/or offended, especially to the families of the artists," Kylie wrote.

The T-shirts were described as "one of a kind" and sold for for $125 (£96) each.

In April, Kendall Jenner found herself the centre of international backlash after she starred in a Pepsi advert after it was accused of co-opting the Black Lives Matter movement.
