Kim Kardashian, the reality TV star and business mogul, has once again found herself at the center of controversy—this time over a recent Instagram post. The Kardashians star shared a photo of former First Lady Melania Trump wearing a wide-brimmed hat, sparking backlash among her followers and leading to a significant drop in her social media following.
The photo, which depicted Melania attending a formal event, did not sit well with many fans. Critics quickly flooded the post’s comments section, expressing disappointment and accusing Kim of aligning with far-right ideologies. One user wrote, “Girl… sold out for far-right MAGA propaganda,” while another added, “Well, at least we can see exactly who you are.”
The backlash was swift, with reports suggesting that Kim lost nearly 150,000 followers after the post. Some followers even called for a boycott of her products and reality shows, urging others to reconsider their support for the beauty mogul and her brand.
Poor Timing Adds Fuel to the Fire
Adding to the criticism, several fans pointed out the timing of Kim’s post. The photo was shared on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday honoring the civil rights leader. Many questioned why she chose to spotlight Melania Trump rather than pay tribute to Dr. King.
One user wrote, “Disappointed that you posted this instead of something meaningful for MLK Day,” while others suggested that the timing was insensitive and tone-deaf.
Kim Kardashian is no stranger to controversies, as her every move tends to attract public attention. Whether she’s launching a new product, sharing her family life, or posting on social media, Kim’s actions often spark intense reactions—both positive and negative.
For now, the star has not addressed the backlash, leaving fans and critics alike to speculate on her motivations behind the post. As the drama unfolds, it serves as another reminder of the challenges of maintaining a massive public platform in today’s highly polarized social media landscape.
