Is Kendall Jenner taking the Coronavirus crisis too lightly? According to Insider, Chiara Ferragni very much thinks so.

The Italian influencer and model has seen first-hand what the virus is capable of. On her own account, she's been vocal about where she stands and what she's witnessed, urging followers to to be mindful and "spread the message" before a terrible situation gets even worse.

On Instagram, Chiara posted a lengthy message which started with, "In Italy we made the same mistake at the beginning, we thought it was 'just a f**king flu' for most people but we had to learn the hard way it's way more than that," and after a few pages, wrapped up with a plea, saying, "Please let's be united in this fight and not spread the wrong messages. From a huge voice comes a huge responsibility."

The 32-year-old model believes that Kendall is one of the many people with a "huge responsibility" downplaying the seriousness of the situation. And she's not letting it slide. After the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star posted a series of graphs, showing that most cases of Coronavirus were said to be mild rather than deadly, Chiara fought back. She took to her Instagram Story to say, "It's so important to spread the right messages right away and raise awareness. People that have such a huge voice like Kendall Jenner, please don't underestimate the problem."

And yes, she even tagged Kendall. Hopefully, the message will be well received and this won't be the untimely beginning of an Insta-feud between these two stars. Plus, Chiara's got a solid point.
