Kylie Jenner Defended After Lip Kiss With Sister Sparks Outrage

Kylie Jenner is being defended by fans after facing backlash for kissing her sister Kendall on the lips.

The moment happened during Kendall Jenner's 31st birthday celebration this week.

Footage shared by their older sister, Khloé Kardashian, shows the sisters goofing around at a party.

In the clip, Kendall can be heard telling Kylie to "kiss me."

Kylie then turns toward her sister and plants a playful kiss on her lips.

Kendall pulls away laughing.

But the video quickly went viral, and reactions were sharply divided.

One shocked comment on X read: "Guys that's literally her sister."

Another person replied: "Not everything is sexual people kiss their sisters all the time."

Fans pushed back hard on the idea that kissing your sibling is automatically weird.

"This is normal," one response said.

"Stop trying to make it incestuous."

Another person urged others not to make it "weird," claiming: "Sisters giving each other a quick peck on a night out is so normal in a lot of families."

Not everyone agreed.

One post argued: "Lmao you must be from the Deep South."

Another viral post questioned the moment, asking: "So we are gonna act like this ain't incest?"

Others were quick to dismiss the criticism.

"Chill out, it was just a drunk kiss," one person replied.

Another commenter remained unconvinced, asking: "Why would u kiss ur sister in the mouth?"

One fan gushed in response to the clip: "I swear drunk Kylie is one of my favourite people."

The Kardashian-Jenner family has been celebrating Kendall's birthday all week.

Earlier this week, Kylie shared her own birthday tribute to Kendall on Instagram.

The carousel post showed their adorable moments through the years.

"I am who I am because of who you've been to me," Kylie captioned the post.

"Happy birthday to my forever sister ostrich/deer cutie pie."

Kendall is currently linked to actor Jacob Elordi.

Kylie is dating actor Timothée Chalamet.

The sisters have always shared a close bond.

They grew up together in the spotlight.

They spent much of their lives in front of cameras.

Kendall and Kylie were just 11 and 10 years old, respectively, when "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" first premiered in October 2007.

That was almost 20 years ago.

Their close relationship has continued to play out on screen in the family's Hulu reality series.
