Kylie Jenner may be only 17, but she won’t stand for unnecessary insults.
On Monday, the reality TV star took to Twitter to respond to a startlingly rude tweet posted by the Hollywood photo/paparazzi agency X17, which read as follows.
“.@justinbieber and @chrisbrown hang with their hoes @haileybaldwin @KendallJenner,” and included a link to a report about the pals hanging out in Washington state on Sunday, after going to see Brown perform in the Dope Music Festival at the Tacoma Dome Arena.
Kylie, who is Kendall’s younger sister, is also close friends with Hailey Baldwin , who is the daughter of Hollywood actor Stephen Baldwin.
Punching out a sharp retort in defense of her loved ones, Kylie tweeted the following.
“@x17online:.@justinbieber & @chrisbrown hang w/ their hoes @haileybaldwin @KendallJenner” how dare u! These r the classiest ‘hoes’ I kno.”
Not long after, X17 replied giving their reason for sending the original, rude tweet. In short, their headline was click bait to entice traffic to the attached story on their website.
The entire exchange follows:

What’s shabby about what X17 did, is that there’s no journalistic merit in either their report or headline. As well as outrageously branding Baldwin and Jenner as “hoes” — based on the girls wearing crop tops and baggy pants during a night out with Bieber and Brown amid dating rumors — the agency’s motivation was simple:
Getting eyeballs to X17Online.com .
The Biebs also shared a snap of him jokingly grabbing Chris’ neck as if “strangling” the 25-year-old singer. The two are seen in a similar surrounding to the girls.
The whole sorry exchange took place a short time before Justin Bieber posted a statement on Instagram declaring that he is “super single,” after growing speculation that he is dating Hailey .
Evidently not amused by the chatter, Justin shared a black and white photo of himself with the 18-year-old model in a car.
The 20-year-old’s caption reads, “People are crazy. I’m super single and this is my good friend u would know otherwise.”
Shortly after Justin’s post, Hailey tweeted the following.
“Hope that clarifies everything for everyone) rumors are silly! [sic]”
Is the misogyny of a paparazzi/photo agency publicly calling two young girls “hoes” over seemingly groundless rumors about their longtime friendships with Bieber and Brown lost on everyone?
