Kim Kardashian Deletes Instagram Post Promoting Appetite-Suppressing Lollipops

Kim Kardashian deletes an Instagram post promoting appetite-suppressing lollipops after receiving backlash for doing so. On Tuesday the star posted about Flat Tummy’s lollipops and the image was removed by early Wednesday morning.

The post caption read:

“#ad You guys… @flattummyco just dropped a new product. They’re Appetite Suppressant Lollipops and they’re literally unreal. They’re giving the first 500 people on their website 15 percent OFF so if you want to get your hands on some…you need to do it quick! #suckit.”

As seen in the following image caption, people did not respond super well to the idea of Kim promoting this kind of product.

Other people pointed out that it was bad timing during mental health awareness week, since people with eating disorders might take an issue with the concept of these products.

But Kim is certainly not the only social media influencer promoting Flat Tummy products. The brand does most of their advertising through social media influencer campaigns for other products like teas. Tori Spelling is another star who took part in this lollipop campaign round. She also received backlash for doing it, but unlike Kim she decided to keep her post up.

It’s been estimated that Kim gets paid as much as $500,000 per sponsored post on Instagram, so it’s unclear what happens if she stops a campaign early. Other products that Kim and her sisters promote include gummy bears that are supposed to grow your hair and waist trainers that are supposed to snatch in the waist for a curvy silhouette. Kim Kardashian’s little sister Kylie recently posted one of those waist trainer pics shortly after giving birth to her first daughter Stormi.

Kim has not yet personally responded to the backlash.
