Kylie Jenner has come under fire after a viral backstage video from the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show appeared to show her “ignoring” her eight-year-old daughter Stormi while embracing her son Aire. (Check it out here.) However, many fans have rushed to her defense, insisting that she simply didn’t see her daughter.
The 29-year-old billionaire beauty mogul has been making headlines for several reasons following her appearance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on October 18th. Firstly, she caused a stir when she was chosen to wear the prestigious $50M Fantasy Bra, with some critics arguing that the honor should have gone to a professional runway model instead.
And now, the mom-of-two‘s parenting is under scrutiny over the brief backstage interaction, although many viewers believe the criticism is completely unjustified. Keep reading to find out more…

Kylie Jenner Accused Of Ignoring Daughter Stormi In Backstage Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Video
In a backstage video from the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show that has been making the rounds on social media, the Kylie Cosmetics founder can be seen reuniting with her family following her runway appearance.
Her four-year-old son Aire, whom she shares with ex Travis Scott, excitedly runs up to her, prompting her to pick him up and embrace him. Her eight-year-old daughter Stormi, whom she also shares with the rapper, is standing nearby and seemingly attempts to get her mom's attention for a hug. However, Kylie appears to be looking in another direction and seemingly doesn't notice her daughter's outstretched arms.
The brief interaction prompted one TikTok user to accuse Kylie of "ignoring" Stormi, although many viewers pointed out that she simply appeared not to have seen her.
Of course, Kylie isn't the first member of the Kardashian-Jenner family to face scrutiny over her parenting. Her older sister Kourtney Kardashian has previously faced criticism for "neglecting" the three children she shares with ex Scott Disick, while Kim Kardashian's parenting of her 13-year-old daughter North West, whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West, has also sparked plenty of debate, including allowing her to dress older than her years.
However, unlike some of the criticism directed at her famous sisters, many of the reactions to Kylie's backstage moment have been supportive, with fans insisting that people are reading far too much into a brief interaction posted on social media.
TikTok Comments
"Aww, Stormi was trying to hug her mom," wrote one TikTok user, followed by the pink heart emoji, as a second observed: "While Stormi's little hands behind her trying to hug her while she walks away..."
"You reaching girl. She loves her kids," defended a third, as a fourth agreed: "She didn't see Stormi." "She did not see her daughter, your comment is so ignorant. Kylie is definitely a good momma above anything else," insisted a fifth.
"Whoa, it's insane how quickly people judge," commented a sixth. "Like she's supposed to have eyes on the back! People are just miserable," slammed a seventh, followed by the crying laughing emoji. "Omg y'all are miserable, she didn't see her as it happens to everyone," wrote an eighth, followed by the eye rolling emoji.
"I know she's a billionaire, but she can't afford eyes on the back of her head. I hate that you're making me defend her because you're so ignorant," quipped a ninth.
Other viewers were less concerned with the alleged snub and more impressed by the fact that Kylie didn't hesitate to pick up her son despite wearing the extravagant $50M Fantasy Bra. According to Vogue, the diamond-encrusted creation was designed by Jacob & Co., and featured 4,410 natural diamonds and a 75.54-carat yellow diamond at its center, making it the most expensive Fantasy Bra in Victoria's Secret history.
"Meanwhile I won't pick up my children when I'm wearing white lol," joked one fan. "I won't pick my 4 yo up if I'm in a white T-shirt," echoed a second, while a third praised Kylie's maternal instincts, writing: "I love she didn't give a second thought to pick him up – that's a loving mother."
