Sorry Kylie, but the world is not quite feelin’ this.
The 18-year-old model/public figure tried to get her sexy on as she posed seductively in a wheelchair for Interview Magazine. Unfortunately for Kylie, the disability activists were NOT with the sh*ts at all.
After her photos surfaced from the Steven Klein-inspired photoshoot, Kylie began getting DRAGGGGGGGEDDDDD through the dirt via Twitter for being insensitive to those who are disabled. During her sit-down part of the interview, she also addressed her large Instagram/Twitter following, whether or not she plans to go to college, getting criticized constantly plus much more. Hit the jump to see more!

WALLACE: It’s a curious thing, having this huge reach that you have on social media, because, I imagine, you want it to be a two-way street where you’re engaging with the people who follow you, but not getting sniped at by the comments. Do you feel a big weight with those 40-million-plus Instagram followers and all that comes with it? Does that intimidate you at all?
JENNER: It intimidates me but I’ve just realized, like … You know who I’m obsessed with? I’m obsessed with Lady Gaga. I saw her at the Alexander Wang fashion show after-party, and I think she’s the nicest person ever. She came up to me and was like, “I think you’re so amazing, and whatever you’re doing, people are just obsessed with it,” and she basically told me to not change. And I feel like that really helped me, because there’s a reason why I have so many followers and why people pay so much attention to me. So I just try not to change and stay authentic. I do feel pressure when I do sexy photo shoots and stuff, or if I want to post a picture … I don’t know. Because I want to be a good role model, but I also want to be me.
WALLACE: Are you good with money? Does that part of business excite you?
JENNER: No.
WALLACE: [laughs] Well, there are people for that. You’re 18 right now, right? Are you prepping for college?
JENNER: I’m not going to college. I have done everything to prepare for college, so if I wanted to in the future, I could go at any time. But I’m not planning on going anytime soon. [voice heard in the background] Kim just said, “Good girl!”
