Not everyone online was happy with her performance, with many saying nepotism was the only reason she landed the role.

“Nepotism is literally the best thing to be born with,” another comment said while a third read, “Nepotism and the synonym next to it is KARDASHIANS.”
“I’m sure her mom’s influence (or money) is the only reason she got this leading/singing role,” one comment said
