Kendall Jenner

In a 2014 incident at the Mercer Kitchen, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber reportedly left without paying their bill. The reason behind it was that Jenner was upset because the staff wouldn't serve her alcohol, considering she was underage at the time, around 19 years old. Actress Blaine Morris, who was the server that day, had to chase them out into the street. Kendall threw a couple of $20 bills at Morris and walked away without even checking if it was enough or included a tip. Morris later tweeted about the incident, which led to threats of a defamation lawsuit from the Kardashians. The event created quite a buzz and raised questions about their behavior.
