— The Independent (@Independent) December 1, 2015When I use my wheelchair or my cane, I'm subjected to glares but Kylie Jenner is fashionable. What gives? #Ableismpic.twitter.com/sMfDazpyN0

— - ❁ - (@frinklinelson) December 1, 2015Shame on Interview magazine for using a wheelchair to sexualize Kylie Jenner even more. So much for her anti-bullying campaign. Disgusted.
— Britni (@brrriitttnnii) December 1, 2015This right here is why I don't rate Kylie Jenner. A gold wheelchair? Disability isn't a glamorous fad. pic.twitter.com/5kpKgxdtPq
— zara (@zaraisfierce) December 1, 2015Who's idea was it to put an able-bodied white celebrity famous f/ doing nothing in a wheelchair. Its not 'art' or 'abstract' it's disrespect
— zara (@zaraisfierce) December 1, 2015So disabled models can't get work or advance in the fashion industry but Kylie jenner can use a wheelchair and be classed as edgy 👌
— Beth (@Bendy_Mermaid) December 1, 2015it's always in shoots that are vaguely kinky as well, because disabled bodies are mere fetishes aren't they
— Cat Smith (@cat_sierra) December 1, 2015I'm an ACTUAL MODEL and I've never been shot in a chair. When I'm in my wheelchair photographers cancel until I can stand up.
— Amelia (@amysgotmilk) December 1, 2015When actual models can't find work when in their chair but able bodied people can sit their ass in one and get paid there's a problem.
— Amelia (@amysgotmilk) December 1, 2015Kylie Jenner, the girl who defends and speaks against her anxiety yet finds it appropriately fashionable to misrepresent disability.
— ️ (@kappuccino) December 1, 2015This afternoon Interview magazine responded to the backlash by releasing a statement to E! News. They stood by the images claiming that they were proud of their work and said that the pictures of Kylie were "exploring her image as an object of vast media scrutiny". They concluded their statement by saying "Our intention was to create a powerful set of pictures that get people thinking about image and creative expression, including the set with the wheelchair... but our intention was certainly not to offend anyone."
