Kylie Jenner enjoyed a weekend full of festivities that she threw for her BFF Anastasia Stassie Karanikolaous birthday. But some people are disturbed after getting a glimpse of one part of the celebration The Handmaids Talethemed party held at Jenners Hollywood Hills home.
In photos and video shared on both Jenner and Karanikolaous Instagrams on Saturday, party guests were seen walking through the door of Jenners home, which was redecorated to look just like the fictional setting Gilead of the dystopian novel and television adaptation. Once they arrived, each attendee got matching Handmaids red robe costumes and drank cocktails inspired by the show. And although the Instagram content ensured that all partygoers were having a good time, many people on Twitter have voiced concerns that Jenner doesnt really understand what the show is about.
Plenty of others have gone so far to say that theyre disturbed that Jenner thought the dystopian television show made for an acceptable party theme, considering how real its storyline has become.

I get it... we should look away from and ignore the greater themes of empty pursuit.
