Author Roxane Gay had a more nuanced view:

It is not shade to point out that Kylie Jenner isnt self-made. She grew up in a wealthy, famous family. Her success is commendable but it comes by virtue of her privilege. Words have meanings and it behooves a dictionary to remind us of that. https://t.co/2HzIJbLb8q
