Model Carol Alt has blasted the current generation of supermodels for having it 'way too easy' because some come from reality TV families.

The 55-year-old model was honored at the Harper’s Bazaar’s Icons party on Friday, but despite the occasion, took the opportunity to complain to reporters that her generation of models do not get the recognition they deserve.

Speaking to the New York Post, Carol said: 'My generation is skipped over. From ’79 to ’84 - nobody talks about that era [of models].'

Angry: Former supermodel Carol Alt has slammed modern-day fashion stars, claiming that they have had it 'too easy'

Complaints: The 55-year-old model said she doesn't think it is far that many of today's most famous fashion stars have come from famous families

'They talk about Beverly Johnson and Iman that were before me and Christie Brinkley and Cindy Crawford who are after me,' she added.

The 1982 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover star then went on to tear into the current generation of models, particularly the women who come from already-famous stock such as Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid.

'I think that it comes way too easy,' she said. 'They haven’t even taken a professional photo but they are famous because their mom has a reality show.'

What a shame: The model was actually honored at a Harper's Bazaar party on Friday night, but despite the compliment, she couldn't help but bash the younger generation of fashion stars

Annoyed: 'My generation is skipped over. From ’79 to ’84 - nobody talks about that era [of models],' Carol said of her career

Consolation: While most of her comments about young models were less than flattering, Carol did admit that 'even if the door is opened for them, they have to keep it open

However, she did add one consolation to her critique, saying: 'But at the same time, even if the door is opened for them, they have to keep it open.'

The comments come soon after supermodel Stephanie Seymour sparked controversy for branding the same models 'b****es of the moment'.

Earlier this summer in a chat with Vanity Fair, the 47-year-old was incredibly dismissive of stars like Kendall, Gigi, Karlie Kloss, and Joan Smalls, proclaiming that their status doesn't measure up to the position she once held with women like Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington, and Naomi Campbell.

'They are completely different than we were,' she said. 'Supermodels are sort of the thing of the past. They deserve their own title. [Kendall and Gigi] are beautiful girls, and I support all of them, but they need their own title.'

Success: Both Kendall and Gigi, pictured walking the catwalks at New York Fashion Week this weekend, have spoken out against similar comments from other older models in the past

'B****es of the moment!' she said, suggesting what she thinks they should be called. 'That would be a good title for them.'

The comments led to a backlash from both Kendall and Gigi as well as Gigi and Bella's mother Yolanda Hadid who told TMZ: 'It's sad to see some of these beautiful semi-retired supermodels, who are mothers themselves now, feel the need to publicly put down someone else's daughter.'

As for Kendall, she took to her app to respond, calling the comments bullying: 'If you're going to tell us not to be in ''your moment,'' then don't be in mine!
