The Kardashians' latest promotional billboard in Los Angeles was recently targeted by a graffiti artist, who spray-painted an explicit message on the advertisement. The billboard, promoting season 5 of their Hulu show "The Kardashians," initially displayed the tagline, "New Horizons Await." However, the graffiti artist altered it to read, "Suck the D*** Right!"
This massive advertisement featured Kris, Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall, and Kylie, all posing for the promo. Positioned high above Los Angeles traffic in a prominent area, the vandalism was highly visible and caught the attention of many people on Thursday. The crude message, scrawled in giant letters right beneath the photo of the KarJenners, stood out starkly against the original content.
Later on Thursday, additional photos revealed that the vandalized billboard had been completely blacked out. The entire signage was covered up, obscuring the offensive graffiti. This swift action suggests an effort to quickly address the defacement and minimize the negative impact.
The graffiti appears to be the work of someone aiming to make a high-profile jab at the famous family. However, the quick response in covering the smear indicates that the attempt to tarnish the billboard was swiftly mitigated. There is no word yet on whether a new 'Kardashians' billboard will be installed to replace the defaced one.
Season 5 of "The Kardashians" is already streaming, offering viewers updates on Kim and Kourtney's ongoing feud, Scott Disick's weight loss journey, and Rob Kardashian's personal life. Each year, the show manages to dominate headlines with its dramatic revelations and family dynamics.
While there's a saying that no publicity is bad publicity, it seems likely that the Kardashians would beg to differ in this case. The defaced billboard, albeit briefly, brought an unwanted spotlight to their latest promotional efforts.
