Kendall Jenner has come under fire for hosting a Halloween party celebrating her 25th birthday in Los Angeles on Saturday, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 

Page Six reports the star-studded event was held at Harriet's Rooftop and attended by 100 people, including Justin and Hailey Bieber, The Weeknd, Doja Cat, Winnie Harlow, and Jaden Smith, more. According to TMZ, guests were told to not "post on social media of any kind," but the warnings were clearly ignored.

I am the BIGGEST Kardashian / Jenner apologist but COME ON with the indoor, no mask, Halloween/Birthday party @KendallJenner

People were pretty peeved to learn of Kendall's party, considering most of us were forced to enjoy Halloween from the comfort of our own home or skip it altogether. 

Why the fuck did @KendallJenner have a massive birthday party during COVID and be like ‘no social media’ 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Kendall Jenner's birthday party with 100+ people where they were told "not to post on social media" BECAUSE THEY OBVIOUSLY KNOW HOW IRRESPONSIBLE IT IS TO HAVE A 100 PERSON PARTY IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUCKIN PANDEMIC

Your Halloween/Birthday party was reckless and irresponsible. Hope you are held accountable if someone who attended gets sick.

After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time. pic.twitter.com/cIFP7Nv5bV

The backlash comes after her sister, Kim Kardashian, took heat for sharing that her family and friends were privileged enough to go to a private island to celebrate her 40th birthday without fearing the threat of COVID-19.
