A 2017 music festival, also known as Fyre Festival, was being promoted on Instagram by reality TV star and model, Kendall Jenner. The lawsuit was presented by a bankruptcy trustee who was regaining money for the creditors of the festival that lost money in the event. Conditions of the settlement were described in court documents file recently. Kendall Jenner was sued as a result of her paid promotion of the festival. She failed to disclose that her post was a promotion and thus the bankruptcy attorney claimed she ‘duped’ the public, which in this case was the nearly 129 million Instagram followers. While the model was paid $275,000 for her promotion of the festival, the settlement was only for $90,000.
