In the spot, you can see the model dressed in typical Mexican clothing traveling in a luxurious truck from California to Jalisco, the capital of the country’s traditional drink.

“I drink tequila in a glass”, “Can you ask for a camera? … I want to ask all the spectators not to buy Kendall Jenner’s tequila”, “Look, I’m Kendall Jenner, I have braids and I live with poor people, buy my tequila “, were just some of the comments that the famous received on Twitter.
Meanwhile, another large number of detractors called her a “hypocrite” for wearing traditional Mexican clothing and “not even having a clue of what the country’s culture is like.” But that is not all. There is also a lot of attention that tequila in the glass will take, when in reality the drink is served in small tequila shots.
