THE KENDALL JENNER PEPSI COMMERCIAL: WHO...

The Alarmist
About this episode

Who’s to blame for the Kendall Jenner Pepsi Commercial?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes podcaster Sequoia Holmes to discuss the infamously disastrous 2017 Pepsi commercial starring Kendall Jenner. They’re joined by Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early. With America in political turmoil and social injustice at the forefront of our minds, why did Pepsi feel the need to wade into the conversation? Was money the main goal? Could keeping the project in-house be to blame? Or perhaps there really is no such thing as bad press!
