Kendall Jenner has faced backlash after promoting her 818 Tequila brand on college campuses.

The 28-year-old supermodel recently visited college campuses in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida this week as part of “Kendall’s College Tour” to promote her liquor company . On Tuesday 6 February, Jenner was seen handing out drinks at bars near the campuses of the University of Georgia and the University of Alabama , as well as the University of Florida the following day.

In an Instagram post from Kris Jenner, the 68-year-old reality TV star shared photos and videos of her daughter passing out tequila shots and drinks to hoards of college students packed inside bars. Several groups of college students were seen wearing 818 Tequila baseball caps, as Jenner worked behind the bar to take orders.

For her first stop at Innisfree Irish Pub in Tuscaloosa, Jenner served $2 shots of 818 Tequila Blanco and $4 margaritas, according to AL.com , followed by a visit to The Houndstooth bar. Hours later, she served shots at Paloma Park in Athens while wearing a red and black Georgia crewneck sweater.
