According to Newsweek, Ivanka Trump recently ignited controversy among her Instagram followers by sharing photos of herself enjoying a night out with Kim Kardashian at the grand opening party of Fontainebleau Las Vegas. The exclusive event attracted a star-studded guest list, including Kendall Jenner, Tom Brady, Lenny Kravitz, Cher, Sylvester Stallone, Alice Cooper, Dita Von Teese, Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Ian Somerhalder, and Paul Wesley. The 67-story, 3,644-room hotel and casino offered VIP guests a lavish experience, complete with a special performance by Justin Timberlake, supported by his wife, Jessica Biel.
Ivanka Trump took to Instagram to document her glamorous night in Nevada, sharing images of herself on the venue’s grounds, enjoying Timberlake’s performance, and casually strolling through the casino floor. Her caption, “Viva Las Vegas! Bringing some Miami spice to LV! Congrats to my amazing friends @DavidGrutman and @jeffrey.soffer._01 on the epic opening of the @fontainebleaulasvegas,” acknowledged the celebration.
However, it was the photos featuring Ivanka Trump alongside Kim Kardashian that triggered a wave of disapproval from some followers. Comments expressed disappointment in Ivanka associating with Kardashian, citing perceived differences in political views and pointing out that Kardashian had allegedly spoken negatively about former President Donald Trump.
While negative reactions dominated some comments, others defended the friendship and saw it as an opportunity for unity. Some users emphasized the need for the country to stand together, while others even voiced support for Ivanka’s potential political future.
This incident illustrates the polarizing nature of public figures’ associations, particularly in the realm of politics and celebrity, where differing views can elicit strong reactions from the public.
