Influencer extraordinaire Kim Kardashian has reportedly lost around 150,000 followers after she posted an inauguration day photo of US First Lady Melania Trump on her Instagram story.
Kardashian, the reality television star and branding expert with 358 million Instagram followers, raised eyebrows online when she posted a photo of the first lady wearing a wide-brimmed hat at Monday’s inauguration.
Socially Powerful, an influencer marketing agency, analyzed data showing that Kardashian’s follower count has fallen by 144,963 since the photo was uploaded.
According to Socially Powerful, since posting the image, Kardashian also lost 9,553 followers on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
The post prompted some of Kardashian’s Instagram followers to respond negatively, with one writing: “girl…. sold out for far right maga propaganda.”
“Well at least we can see exactly who you are,” another wrote.
“Guys unfollow, don’t watch their show and don’t buy their products. Hit them where it hurts,” another social media commenter wrote.
