Kim Kardashian loses 150,000 followers on Instagram after sharing one photo with fans

The Kardashians star sparked outrage over the snap uploaded the day of Donald Trump's inauguration (20 January)

Kim Kardashian has reportedly lost 150,000 followers on Instagram after sharing one photo with her fans.

On the day of Donald Trump's inauguration (20 January), the 44-year-old SKIMS boss shared a controversial post on her Instagram story about the Republican president's other half.

Melania's statement get-up clearly caught the attention of Kim, who seemingly praised her on social media for her fashion choices.

The Kardashians star shared a snap of the First Lady, 54, climbing out of her car to attend the prestigious presidential address, showing off her monochrome aesthetic.

While Kim opted not to caption the image, or share any context surrounding her post, it has been widely perceived that she was praising Melania for her style - something she regularly does with other fashion-forward celebs.

And in doing this, many of her followers believed she was in some way advocating Trump's controversial administration.

"Successful billionaire, Kim Kardashian, has posted Melania Trump on her Instagram story," one noted, adding: "We know who she voted for."

Another critic agreed: "She definitely voted for her husband."

"Kim Kardashian is really not hiding that she voted for Trump," a third claimed.

A fourth went on: "Why are people shocked a billionaire is supporting the right??? That’s literally textbook."

The concerns come after mother-of-four Kim opted not to publicly endorse either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump during the presidential election in November - something she'd previously done, and always in favour of the Democratic party.

Following the upload, Kim has since reportedly lost as many as 144,963 Instagram followers, according to data analysed by influencer marketing agency, Socially Powerful.

At the time of writing, the reality TV star boasts 358 million followers on Instagram.

She also reportedly lost nearly 10,000 followers on X, where she currently has 71.5 million followers.

Since being sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, Trump has signed a flurry of executive orders - legally-binding written documents to the federal government that do not require congressional approval.

One such order states that the US government would recognise 'only two genders' - male and female' - as part of one of his first orders on gender identity. Another revokes the DEI (diversity, equality and inclusion) advocacy, which will seek to dissuade private companies using government contracts from hiring marginalised individuals.

In his inaugural address, Trump also promised that 'all illegal entry will be halted' and that millions of 'criminal aliens' will be deported.

Trump also announced his intentions to end birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants. He promised these orders would amount to a 'complete restoration of America' as he hailed 'a Golden Age for America'.

Tyla has previously reached out to Kim Kardashian's representatives for comment.
