Kendall Jenner 'bullied' by other models at fashion shows

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 18 (UPI) —

Kendall Jenner has been working hard to be taken seriously in the modeling industry — she went as far as dropping her famous last name from her stage name — but a few fellow models don’t think her road to modeling stardom has been fair.

Following her participation in the Tommy Hllfiger and Diane Von Furstenberg shows during New York Fashion Week 2014 earlier this month, sources told In Touch magazine Jenner was bullied by some of the models at the event.

"The other models worked so hard to get a spot on the runway and didn’t think it was fair that she was there," said an insider.

"Some [of the models] put out their cigarettes in Kendall’s drink!" the source added. "They thought she was getting special treatment and just weren’t OK with it."

While Jenner has yet to confirm or deny the bullying rumors, the report comes a couple of months after it was revealed the 18-year-old model was advised to leave her family’s reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, because her role in the series could have a negative effect on her rising modeling career.
