Kim Kardashian Faces Backlash Over Melania Trump Post

Kim Kardashian Faces Backlash Over Melania Trump Post

Kim Kardashian reportedly lost nearly 1,50,000 Instagram followers after sharing a photo of former First Lady Melania Trump on Donald Trump’s second inauguration day. The image sparked backlash, with critics accusing Kardashian of promoting "far-right MAGA propaganda." Others expressed disappointment over her failure to honor Martin Luther King Jr. on his federal holiday, which coincided with the inauguration.

According to influencer agency Socially Powerful, Kardashian's Instagram follower count dropped by 1,44,963, while she lost 9,553 followers on X (formerly Twitter).

Despite the backlash, Kardashian has a history of advocacy in criminal justice reform, including her role in securing clemency for Alice Marie Johnson during Donald Trump’s first term.

Kardashian’s political affiliations remain unclear, as she has never publicly endorsed a presidential candidate. This incident has reignited debates over her influence and the public’s polarized reactions to her social media activity.
