Kendall Jenner has reportedly settled a lawsuit levied against her for promoting the failed 2017 Fyre Festival in the Bahamas, which set social media ablaze at the time due to attendees being left stranded with no food or accommodations.

The 24-year-old reality star and supermodel has reportedly agreed to pay $90,000 for the since-deleted Instagram photo she posted in January 2017, according to court documents filed Tuesday and obtained by Women’s Wear Daily (WWD).

Notable acts who were also sued for their role in promoting the sham included social media maven and model Emily Ratajkowski, Blink-182, hip-hop group the Migos, rapper Pusha T and Lil Yachty.

According to WWD, citing court docs, Jenner was paid over a quarter-million dollars for the Instagram post promoting the Fyre Festival, and the post didn’t specify whether it was a sponsored post or not.

Additionally, Nue Agency LLC was allegedly given $730,000 by Fyre Media for performances by Pusha T and rappers Desiigner and Tyga, and Blink-182 was also booked to perform with $500,000 given by Fyre Media to Creative Artists Agency, according to court documents.

Billy McFarland, the promoter of the failed Fyre Festival in the Bahamas, leaves federal court after pleading guilty to wire fraud charges, Tuesday, March 6, 2018, in New York.

The Fyre Festival will go down as perhaps the worst-run festival in history.
