KYLIE JENNER IS CRITICIZED FOR GIVENCHY NOOSE NECKLACE: According to Page Six, Kylie Jenner is making waves with her Paris Fashion Week attire once again, and this time it’s not positive.

This is so disgusting. It’s not ok to just say ‘she probably doesn’t know’ – she needs to know,” one critic wrote.

I wasn’t faced with the reality of the situation. This was pre-life falling apart.”
