Royal Family News – Meghan Markle Accused Of Buying Fake Instagram Followers
Back in 2020, Meghan Markle admitted that she decided that social media was not her thing just because of all the bullying that she had endured across several different platforms. But now that she’s back online, it looks like she’s facing yet another controversy.
That’s because some eagle-eyed fans have noticed that she has a significant amount of fake followers and bots on her Instagram handle. And of course, some critics want to know why.
Marketing expert Stacey Wong even told the Mirror, “The Instagram for American Riviera Orchard showcases a robust following of over half a million, a testament to her powerful personal brand and appeal.
However, the presence of a 13.77 percent ‘fake follower’ metric reveals a common challenge in digital brand management. Navigating this landscape requires strategic engagement and authentic content to maintain and enhance brand integrity.”
