It seems as if Trixie’s fans are not happy with the controversy as well. Many of them have taken to Twitter to accuse Kylie of copying Trixie Mattel’s products. Moreover, some even came up with the proposal to sue Kylie’s company for the same.
However, the Jenner-Kardashian family has a history of stealing designs. There have been similar controversies in the past as well. In 2017, people accused Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian of stealing designs from struggling Black designers. In other words, they made profits at the expense of Black designers who weren’t established yet.
OH HELL NO
