Kylie Jenner has spoken up on the sale of former best friend Jordyn Wood’s lipstick range, which is sold by Kylie’s company.
Shortly after news broke that Jordyn had allegedly hooked up with Khloe Kardashian’s (Kylie’s elder sister) then-boyfriend Tristan Thompson, everyone noticed the slashed prices of Jordy Velvet Lip Kit being sold by Kylie Cosmetics being slashed from $27.00 to $13.50.
According to New York Times, Kylie refused to be party to this dramatic change.
“That is just not my character. I would never do something like that and when I saw it, I was like, thrown back. Jordyn knows I didn’t actually put it on sale,” Kylie said.
Kylie added that the discount was planned weeks in advance as the makeup company switched from white to black packaging.

The discord in Bangalore South constituency over the denial of the party ticket to Tejaswini Ananth Kumar, appears to have been papered over for now, hours before the arrival of BJP National President Amit Shah in the city for a massive road show with the party appointing Tejaswini, as party state vice-president.
In fact the very purpose of Shah’s arrival in the city for a one-stop show, was intended to make sure that BJP leaders and workers here closed ranks and ensured that young Tejasvi Surya, who was finally chosen as the candidate, did not face any dissent in Bangalore South, considered one of the safest seats by the party in the state.
The roadshow, held to garner support for Tejasvi, saw the BJP presenting a united front with sulking leaders like R. Ashok and V. Somanna besides Tejaswini herself accompanying Mr Shah as he made his way from Padmanabhanagar through the constituency covering Jayanagar and BTM Layout.
While most BJP MLAs in the constituency and even party state president B.S. Yeddyurappa had backed Tejaswini, widow of former Union Minister Ananth Kumar for the ticket, the Sangh Pariwar put its weight behind Tejasvi, known as a rising star in the party.
Mr Shah’s address to party workers was cancelled as the roadshow, which was scheduled to begin at around 6.30 pm, was delayed by two and a half hours. By making sure that Tejaswini was present along with senior BJP leaders during the road show, Mr Shah has managed to send out a message to party supporters in the constituency that the differences over candidate selection have been resolved and Tejaswini, who enjoys massive sympathy following the death of her husband last year, has been suitably accommodated.

The messaging app has added that a new privacy setting in which an invite system will help users decide who can add them to groups.
The person inviting you to a group will be prompted to send a private invite through an individual chat, giving the user choice of joining the group.
The person inviting you to a group will be prompted to send a private invite through an individual chat, giving the user choice of joining the group.
The move assumes significance, especially ahead of elections in the country, as social media platforms are expected to play a major role in political campaigns to reach out to citizens in large numbers.
“WhatsApp groups continue to connect family, friends, coworkers, classmates and more. As people turn to groups for important conversations, users have asked for more control over their experience,” the Facebook-owned company said in a statement. The messaging app has added that a new privacy setting in which an invite system will help users decide who can add them to groups.
Previously, WhatsApp users could be added to groups without their consent. To enable the feature, users can go to ‘settings’ option in WhatsApp app and select one of three options — “nobody,” “my contacts,” or “everyone.” If they choose “nobody”, users will have to approve of joining every group to which they are invited. Upon choosing “my contacts” option, users from the person’s address book will be able to add them to groups.
In these cases, the person inviting you to a group will be prompted to send a private invite through an individual chat, giving the user the choice of joining the group. The user will be given three days to accept the invite before it expires, the statement said. “With these new features, users will have more control over the group messages they receive,” WhatsApp said. These new privacy settings will begin rolling out to some users starting Wednesday, and will be available worldwide in the coming weeks to those using the latest version of WhatsApp, it added.
WhatsApp, which counts India as one of its largest markets with over 200 million users, had faced flak from the Indian government after a series of mob-lynching incidents, triggered by rumours circulating on the messaging platform, claimed lives last year.
Under pressure to stop rumours and fake news, WhatsApp had last year restricted forwarding messages to five chats at once. It has also been putting out advertisements in newspapers and running television and radio campaigns offering tips to users on how to spot misinformation.
With ensuing general elections, the Indian government had warned social media platforms of strong action if any attempt was made to influence the country’s electoral process through undesirable means. One of the amendments being mulled in the IT intermediary rules (meant for online and social media platforms) will require them to enable tracing out of such originators of information as needed by government agencies that are legally authorised.
However, WhatsApp has so far resisted the government’s demand for identifying message originators, arguing that such a move would undermine the end-to-end encryption and the private nature of the platform, creating the potential for serious misuse.
