TPO – Kim Kardashian lost nearly 150,000 followers on Instagram after posting a photo of First Lady Melania Trump. Many netizens announced that they would stop supporting the 8X billionaire because they thought she had chosen sides.
According to the New York Post, Kim Kardashian caused a stir on social media when she posted a photo of First Lady Melania Trump wearing a wide-brimmed hat at the inauguration of US President Donald Trump on January 20.

Kim Kardashian posted a photo of Melania Trump on Instagram after Trump’s inauguration.
Although it was not accompanied by any message, the move was seen as a tacit acknowledgement of support for the Republican president. Many people suspected that the US super round 3 voted for Mr. Trump.
Immediately, a wave of protests against Kim exploded. People who chose the Democratic Party flooded Kim’s personal account to attack her. Some were upset that Kim posted a picture of Mrs. Melania instead of the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., an African-American civil rights activist and 1964 Nobel Peace Prize winner. Mr. Trump’s inauguration coincided with a federal holiday honoring the deceased civil rights leader.
Netizens commented: “Disappointed in you”, “I hope you told your daughter that you voted against her rights”, “Bye girl”, “You posted Melania, but not Martin”, “That’s why you studied law for 10 years and still haven’t passed”, “Unfollow”, “I don’t support you anymore”, “Boycott your brand
“I will never buy Skims (the shapewear brand founded by Kim) again”…
Netizens reacted negatively to the point of attacking and unfollowing Rosé when the BlackPink lead singer modeled Skims’ Valentine 2025 lingerie collection.
On January 23, Socially Powerful, a UK-based data analytics company, said that Kim’s Instagram followers had dropped by about 144,963 since the photo of Melania was shared. The number is not much compared to the 358 million mark that the reality TV star has, but it is still alarming. Not stopping there, Kim also lost 9,553 followers on
Kim Kardashian has a longstanding relationship with the Trump family. In 2018, she visited the White House during Trump’s first term to advocate for the release of several prisoners. She has also participated in numerous Oval Office discussions on parole and prison reform.
In addition, Kim has maintained a long-standing friendship with Ivanka Trump. Together, they lobbied Trump to commute the life sentence of Alice Marie Johnson, a black woman convicted of a non-violent drug offense.
Despite her good relationship with the Trump family, in April 2020, Kim announced that she would not publicly endorse any presidential candidate, instead focusing on her criminal justice reform efforts.
During the race for the White House between Trump and Kamala Harris, Kim remained silent. She was widely assumed to be on the Democratic side, like most of the Hollywood elite. However, the wind changed direction after Kim posted a photo of Melania.
In April 2024, Kim was in a similar situation due to her feud with Taylor Swift. At that time, Taylor released her studio album The Tortured Poets Department and it was believed that the song ThanK you aIMee was aimed at Kim. Right from the title, the unusual capitalization of the letter “K” made listeners unable to help but associate it with Kim Kardashian. Going deeper into the lyrics, Taylor sings about a “bronze, tanned” bully.
Not long after, Kim lost more than 100,000 fans. On April 19, Kim Kardashian’s Instagram account had 364.3 million followers. However, as of April 23, this number had dropped to 363 million followers.
Nearly a year since the incident, the reality TV star’s Instagram followers have “evaporated” by another 5 million.
