Kylie Jenner attacks job search app for fabricating her tweets as part of PR stunt

Kylie Jenner attacks job search app for fabricating her tweets as part of PR stunt
 Don't ask Kylie Jenner for help getting a job — she doesn't have a real one in the first place.

At least that's what company Good&Co had to say by creating a fake tweet appearing to be from Jenner in order to stir up publicity for its job search app.

The 19-year-old reality star, who also sells lip gloss, responded to the fake screengrab, which alleged she had voiced her frustration over receiving ads for services she says don't pertain to her.

"I lowkey hate seeing ads that don't apply to me. Keep getting promos for Good & Co, an app that helps people get jobs. Lol no thanks," the tweet, which Jenner said she never wrote, reads.

“This is a fake a-- tweet to get some publicity,’ she tweeted to her 18 million followers.

In the screengrab, the app company responds to the tweet with the ultimate diss: "Sorry you have to deal with our ads, but we're here to help people! (We can't all get paid off selfies and FitTea promotions)."

However, a representative for the company Good & Co. told the Daily News that the screengrabs of the exchange were actually "fan-made."

"We are very sorry that Kylie is upset about the fan-made tweet exchange that cropped up on Tumblr," the company said in a statement to The News.

The brand ultimately made a post to its blog centered around Jenner's cosmetics brand.

Either way, the snarky response ultimately succeeded in bringing publicity to the brand, with one user even writing, “just downloaded your app after seeing you drag @KylieJenner. You're the kind of people whose help I'll gladly accept.”

The posts struck a nerve with Jenner, who clearly isn’t a fan of giving publicity for free, when she continued a Twitter tirade against the company.

"Fake as f--k stop it @ingoodco.. unprofessional," she tweeted, along with screengrabs of the made-up altercation.

Reps for Jenner did not respond to a request for comment.
