Kylie Jenner was slammed for her Interview Magazine photos.

According to a report from Entertainment Tonight, the edgy shoot with photos of the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star on a wheelchair seemed to mock disabled people.

People quickly went to social media to express their disappointment over Kylie Jenner's bondage-themed pictorial for Interview Magazine.

"This right here is why I don't rate Kylie Jenner," a user named Kate pointed out. "A gold wheelchair? Disability isn't a glamorous fad."

Several persons with disabilities said the reality star should not make light of something that people deal with on a daily basis.

"I cry every time I go out in my wheelchair because of the way people make me feel, but Kylie Jenner uses one [and suddenly] it's fashion?" a certain Bethany posted.

Some also pointed out how people will real disabilities would never get a chance to do a pictorial similar to Kylie Jenner's spread for Interview Magazine.

"Disabled models can't get work or advance in the fashion industry, but Kylie jenner can use a wheelchair and be classed as edgy," wrote a person named Bendy.

According to a report from E! News, Interview Magazine issued an official statement to explain their controversial photos of the youngest Kardashian-Jenner sibling.

"At Interview, we are proud of our tradition of working with great artists and empowering them to realize their distinct and often bold visions," the statement read.

"The Kylie Jenner cover by Steven Klein, which references the British artist Allen Jones, is a part of this tradition, placing Kylie in a variety of positions of power and control and exploring her image as an object of vast media scrutiny."

Fox News also shared Interview Magazine's, where they clarified that the images never meant to trivialize people with disabilities.

"Throughout the Art Issue, we celebrate a variety of women who are both the creators and subjects of their artistic work, and the Kylie feature aims to unpack Kylie's status as both engineer of her image and object of attention," the editorial team explained.

"Our intention was to create a powerful set of pictures that get people thinking about image and creative expression, including the set with the wheelchair. But our intention was certainly not to offend anyone."
