Kylie Jenner was awkwardly compared to a controversial late superstar in her latest round of Instagram snaps this week

‘Thought u was MJ.

‘Michael Jackson must be jealous!’

Other followers praised Jenner for looking ‘hot’ and flooded her comment section with heart emojis.

The King of Pop died in 2009 at the age of 50 of a cardiac arrest he suffered after having Propofol administered as a sleep aid.

Jackson’s superstar career and legacy became clouded by rumors of pedophilia beginning in 1993, when he was accused of sexually abusing 13-year-old Jordan Chandler in a lawsuit filed by the boy’s father .

A criminal investigation found no physical evidence of abuse, but Jackson ultimately settled the civil suit with the family in January 1994 for $23million.

He later faced further allegations, as well as a high-profile, sensational criminal trial on child molestation charges involving 13-year-old Gavin Arvizo in 2005.

James Safechuck and Wade Robson were defense witnesses in the case, which saw Jackson acquitted of all charges.

But his legacy has fallen under renewed scrutiny in recent years over the ongoing molestation claims, which were reignited by Safechuck and Robson in the 2019 documentary Leaving Neverland .
