Khloé Kardashian Confirms She Has a Finsta — Here’s How She Uses It
Fans can follow Khloé Kardashian on Instagram, where she has over 240 million followers. However, Kardashian recently admitted that she also has a finsta (or “fake Instagram”), which is often an unpublicized account meant for just close friends and family. People can use finstas for different purposes, and Kardashian shared what she uses hers for.
Khloé Kardashian is a huge social media star
Kardashian and her family members are some of the biggest social media influencers around. They each have millions of followers who watch their every move, and the family also starts many trends on the internet.
According to Vogue, Kardashian and her sisters can make up to $500,000 per sponsored Instagram post. She also once joked that social media can help pay for her daughter’s college tuition.
While this level of popularity can be enviable to some people, Kardashian has shared that it is not always a positive thing in her life.
“Before, things used to be a lot more fun, whether it’d be posting or doing silly videos,” she said on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast. “Now, like, the smallest thing gets taken and shredded apart. Or doing interviews—I’m so hesitant to do them because people take 20-second clips and they make a TikTok video out of them and [things get taken] out of context.”
Khloé Kardashian talks about having a finsta
The Kardashian-Jenners’ every move on social media is documented and dissected by fans. When Kardashian wants some privacy, she turns to her finsta, which she admitted to having on Not Skinny But Not Fat.
“I only have it because Kendall and Kylie—I was looking on someone’s stories, and they were like, ‘You’re looking from your actual page?’” Kardashian explained.
She went on to share that her younger sisters taught her that people can see her viewing their stories. As such, they helped create a finsta account for her so that she could lurk in peace. However, Kardashian admitted she often forgets to switch to it.
Kardashian revealed she has never posted anything on the finsta account.
Why the Good American co-founder has a finsta
Based on Kardashian’s story, it seems likely that Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner have finstas as well, though the Jenner sisters have not talked about that publicly.
In any case, Kim Kardashian is another family member who has admitted to having a finsta. Kim also revealed this during her episode of Not Skinny But Not Fat.
“I had a finsta, that was like a real finsta, and it was only following girls who would just post like really wild s***, and I was like, ‘This is so lame. I don’t want to be in the finsta game,’” Kardashian said.
The SKIM founder added, “So my friend Lala, she had a finsta, and I don’t want to make one again, so I asked, ‘What is your password?’ So I just used her finsta, and I kicked her out of her finsta, and now I just use hers.”
Kim shared that she uses the finsta to “stalk people,” including “fan accounts” as well as the popular gossip account Deuxmoi.
