The social media mogul, Kylie Jenner, saw a staggering drop of nearly one million followers on Instagram amidst accusations of mocking Selena Gomez. Her once towering follower count of 180 million plummeted to 179 million within just five days, as Gomez reclaimed her title as the Instagram Queen with over 180 million followers on February 23rd.

The controversy surrounding Kylie Jenner and Selena Gomez erupted precisely as Gomez surpassed Jenner’s follower count on Instagram. In a TikTok video, Gomez confessed to botching her own eyebrow makeup. Shortly after, Jenner posted a selfie showcasing her own eyebrows on Instagram Story with the caption, “Is this a brow mishap?” She also shared a screenshot of a FaceTime call with Hailey Bieber, former girlfriend of Gomez’s ex Justin Bieber, showcasing her thick eyebrows up close. Netizens speculated that Jenner was taunting Gomez out of jealousy.

The escalating rumors prompted responses from both Jenner and Gomez. Jenner wrote, “This is a reach. There’s no shade towards Selena, and I haven’t even seen her post about her brows! You guys are really reaching here. This is absurd.”

Gomez echoed Jenner’s sentiment, stating that there was no issue at hand. The 30-year-old singer wrote, “Agree with Kylie. It’s all blown out of proportion. I’m a fan of Kylie!”

Gomez also announced her temporary hiatus from social media to avoid getting caught up in controversies. The “Slow Down” singer, who has been open about her mental health struggles, has refrained from posting any TikTok videos for a week.

Meanwhile, Gomez’s Instagram continues to thrive with a rapid increase in followers, reaching 189 million on February 28th. However, last month, Gomez revealed to Vanity Fair that she has long relied on assistants to manage her Instagram posts. She avoids having Instagram on her personal phone to shield herself from negative comments that could affect her mental well-being.
