Brody Jenner slammed for posing with gun in the aftermath of the Paris massacre: “Stupid. Wrong day to post this”

Reality star Brody Jenner been heavily criticised for posing for a picture with a gun and sharing it on Instagram the same day as the horrific shootings in Paris that left 12 people dead.

Brody, who stars with dad Bruce Jenner in Keeping Up With The Kardashians, posted the snap yesterday afternoon when the rest of the world was reeling in shock at the bloodshed at a French satirical magazine.

He even posted a gun emoji next to the image, captioning it simply: "□□."

Many of his Instagram followers were stunned by his apparent bad timing, with one commenting: "Wrong day to post this."

Another said, "Really?!? Does he not watch the news?" while many others left the hashtag #JeSuisCharlie in support of the journalists, cartoonists and police officers who died in the attack.

Brody still hasn't taken down the picture and it's since had almost 40,000 likes on Instagram.

He's not the first member of the Kardashian klan to get into hot water over his use of guns – step-sister Khloe was also slammed last summer after she posted two separate photos of herself holding an automatic gun alongside then-beau French Montana.
