Kendall Jenner is Paying Out $90 Grand For Promoting the Fyre Festival
I have a lot of respect for the people who organized the Fyre Festival. Sure it was a massive flop and so poorly organized that the guy in charge went to prison. Still, the idea of throwing together a shitty concert and paying some celebrities to convince influencers with more money than brains they absolutely need to be there to take selfies is genius.
One of those celebrities paid to endorse the festival was Kendall Jenner, and TMZ reports Kendall is paying back some of that money to the trust that’s paying off the festival’s creditors.
Jenner’s agreed to pay $90k to the trustee in the Fyre Festival bankruptcy case after the trustee sued to recoup the dough for the festival’s creditors who got screwed.
In the lawsuit, the trustee claimed Kendall was paid $275k to promote Fyre on her Instagram account. The trustee claimed that money constituted a fraudulent transfer because she was paid to promote a festival the organizers could never pull off.
I don’t see how any of that is Jenner’s problem, though. It’s not like she knew rich assholes were going to revolt at the idea of being given a sandwich for dinner.
The good news is that since Jenner got paid three times that amount to do the promotion in the first place, she still gets to keep $180k for sending the worst people in the world to the worst music festival since the last time they managed to put on a Woodstock.
