So Pepsi got itself into hot water today with this ad it released starring Kendall Jenner as the woman who shut down a protest simply by offering a pepsi to a police officer.
Pepsi's facing some [major] backlash across social media scene for this new ad featuring Kendal Jenner. Thoughts?https://t.co/5qzR4BpOVy

After the grave backlash on the internet, they finally pulled the ad and apologised. Then they said this also:

Jenner is an adult and should apologize for taking part in this fiasco. Nobody forced her into it. If she was looking for attn., she got it.
