Kim Kardashian has allegedly experienced a significant decline in her social media following, losing approximately 150,000 followers after she shared a photo of First Lady Melania Trump on her Instagram story during the inauguration day.
Kardashian, a prominent figure in reality television with around 358 million followers on Instagram, sparked controversy online when she posted the image of the first lady donning a wide-brimmed hat at Monday’s inauguration.

A marketing agency specializing in influencer analytics, Socially Powerful, conducted an analysis revealing that Kardashian’s follower count has decreased by 144,963 since the photo was uploaded.
In addition, she experienced a loss of 9,553 followers on X (formerly known as Twitter) after sharing the image, according to the findings from Socially Powerful.
Although this is a noticeable drop, the implications of such a loss on her overall influence remain to be seen.
