Kim Kardashian has ignited online controversy after sharing a photo of Melania Trump on her Instagram Story during the 60th Presidential Inauguration.
The image, featuring the former First Lady in a dark coat and hat designed by Adam Lippes, came without a caption, leaving fans speculating about its intent.
The post quickly sparked backlash, with critics labeling Kardashian as a Trump supporter. ” One commented, “It’s clear who she voted for.”
Adding to the uproar, some pointed out her close relationship with Ivanka Trump, with one person stating, “Kim Kardashian is best friends with Ivanka. Of course, she’s a Trump supporter.”
Others criticized her absence from the high-profile event, with remarks such as, “Surprised she wasn’t at the Inauguration—even YouTubers were invited.”
Despite the criticism, Kardashian has not responded publicly to the allegations or clarified her stance. The SKIMS founder has previously avoided making overt political statements, leaving her fans divided on the implications of her latest post.
This incident comes as a reminder of the scrutiny celebrities face on social media, particularly when their posts intersect with politics.
