Some people have branded the company a 'hypocrite' for featuring Kardashian, after previously announcing it will only include ads from brands that support women empowerment
Users slammed the mag for putting someone who uses photoshop and has undergone plastic surgery on the cover, rather than promoting 'natural beauty'. Another person pointed out that there were 'plenty of other available people that could have used the exposure'. Some readers called the outlet 'embarrassing,' 'disappointing,' and 'pathetic,' while others said they would not be purchasing this year's issue. The company shared a sneak peek of Kardashian's cover shoot to Instagram, which hits stands on May 19, and the post was flooded with angry comments. SI Swimsuit previously announced that it will only include ads from brands that show a commitment to supporting gender equality and women's empowerment. But some people have branded the company a 'hypocrite' for featuring the reality star on the front of the magazine for its upcoming 2022 issue. The outlet announced it's four cover stars on Monday - including Kardashian, 41, Elon Musk's mom Maye, 74, singer Ciara, 36, and plus-size model Yumi Nu, 36. Sports Illustrated Swimsuit is blasted as 'hypocritical' and 'pathetic' for putting Kim Kardashian on its cover - months after insisting it was focused on highlighting real 'role models' and NOT just sexy women in bikinis
