Jaden Smith faces backlash for 'disgusting' costume at Kendall Jenner's birthday

Jaden Smith’s choice of Halloween costume has sparked backlash for being “disgusting” and “inhumane”.

Kendall Jenner, the host of the event, was criticised for putting on a 100-person birthday party in the midst of a pandemic.

Now, one of the guests in attendance has sparked further outrage with his choice of costume.

Smith wore an oxygen mask as part of his costume. He then posted a photo on Instagram, suggesting that he was dressing as the protagonist from the film Tenet.

Despite this clarification, people thought it was an insensitive choice of costume during covid-19.

According to Entertainment Tonight, the event in Los Angeles required all those in attendance to test negative for Covid-19 before entering.

However, in LA, residents have been advised not to attend large gatherings at all.

Coronavirus cases are rising in LA County and California now has 944,000 reported cases.
