Kendall Jenner and her younger sister, Kylie Jenner have responded to accusations that their fashion brand, Kendall + Kylie they did not pay factory workers in Bangladesh.
The rumors began circulating after Instagram users found out that Global Brands Group (GBG) wasn’t paying workers. The Keeping Up With The Kardashians stars are now clarifying that their company is not owned by GBG.
“We would like to address the unfortunate and incorrect rumor that Global Brands Group owns the Kendall + Kylie brand and that we have neglected to pay factory workers in Bangladesh as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,” the sisters said in a statement shared on the brand’s official Instagram.
“This is untrue. The Kendall + Kylie brand is owned by 3072541 Canada Inc., not GBG. The brand has worked with CAA-GBG in the past in a sales and business development capacity only.”
The statement continued, “We know these are trying times for the fashion industry and garment workers as a whole, and we continue to support all of our partners working in factories who produce our products,”
“We manufacture in countries all over the world and have not received any concerns from the factories who produce our goods,” they added.
