(CNN) Attorneys can subpoena Kendall Jenner's company and other modeling agencies that represent the models who promoted the Fyre Festival, a federal judge ruled Monday.

The ruling came as part of a bankruptcy case involving the ill-fated music festival that took place in the Bahamas in April 2017. Models including Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski, Hailey Bieber (nee Baldwin) and Bella Hadid participated in social media campaigns and advertisements leading up to the festival. The judge's order says the agencies IMG Models (which represents Bieber and Hadid), DNA Model Management (which represents Ratajkowski), and Kendall Jenner Inc. must comply with subpoenas issued in the case.

Fyre Festival LLC filed for bankruptcy in July 2017, saying it couldn't pay its vendors and other creditors.

Jenner, Bieber, Hadid, Ratajkowski and other models appeared in a glossy video announcement that drummed up buzz about Fyre Festival in early 2017. The models were seen sipping tropical cocktails, frolicking on yachts, and zipping around crystal blue water on personal watercraft. Jenner and others also shared promotional posts on Instagram about the festival. The advertisements from the models were considered to be a huge factor in the festival's ability to sell tickets.

The festival, which had been promoted as an upscale, exclusive experience on a private island in the Bahamas costing attendees thousands of dollars a ticket, devolved into chaos after organizers failed to provide more than basic necessities for concertgoers. For example, revelers expecting to stay in ritzy beachside villas were surprised to find simple, unmarked white tents as the accommodations.
