Kendall Jenner Set To Pay $90,000 In Fyre Festival Lawsuit

Reality Tv star and model, Kendall Jenner has been ordered to pay a $90,000 settlement over the Instagram post she shared in 2017 promoting the controversial Fyre Festival.

The 24-year-old was among the entertainers sued in the Fyre Festival bankruptcy case to recover money for creditors, after she was paid a reported $250,000 (£203,000) to promote the festival in a now-deleted Instagram post.

The scandalous Bahamas-based festival became subject to controversy when it was accused of misleading ticket holders, having marketed itself as a luxury event complete with A-list performers and luxury accommodation.

In January 2017, Jenner shared a post on Instagram in which she promoted her “G.O.O.D Music Family”, the record label founded by her brother-in-law Kanye West, as the “first headliners” for Fyre Festival, which was due to take place in April and May that year.

Kendall had posted: “So hyped to announce my G.O.O.D Music Family as the first headliners for @fyrefestival. Use my promo code KJONFYRE for the next 24 hours to get on the list for the artists and talents afterparty on Fyre Cay.”
