Whoops! 13 awkward celebrity social media fails

A single letter became a source of internet embarrassment for Kim Kardashian. The socialite mentioned a foundation by (Giorgio) Armani cosmetics and misspelled the famous designer's name: 'Georgio Armani.'

Armani told Kim that they would send her some of the product, but not without reminding her, in a tongue-in-cheek manner, that the correct name of "Mr. Armani" was Giorgio. Kim Kardashian apologized and blamed it on lack of sleep. And with four children at home, it is more than an acceptable excuse.

In April 2018, Lorde posted a photo in the bathtub accompanied by a reference to the famous Whitney Houston song "And IIII will always love you." The controversy was not long in coming ...

The problem is that Whitney Houston died in 2012, at the age of 48, by drowning in a bathtub. Lorde deleted the post and apologized: “I'm sorry to have offended so many people. I love Whitney. "

Playing around with a promotional campaign on Twitter is a risky bet to make. Twitter is the social network favoured by internet trolls, and they really caused trouble for Rita. In 2014 the singer promised her fans that she would release a new song if a tweet reached 100,000 retweets.

Rita's campaign didn't work, and the goal was far from being achieved. The post only received just over 1,000 retweets, and the promised song was not released. Instead, the singer shared a broken heart emoji in a post. Ouch.

The 43-year-old retired Boston Celtics legend believed, in April 2021, that it would be a good idea to do an Instagram Live. Pierce wanted to show the 1,340 people he follows how much fun he was having. He appeared surrounded by half-naked women who massaged him and danced.

However, things didn't go as Paul planned. Instead of doing the live video just for his circle of friends, Paul Pierce released it to his more than 900,000 followers. As a result, the former player was fired from ESPN, where he was a commentator. ESPN was particularly upset about the lack of COVID-19 measures at the party, which set a terrible example for fans.

Donald Trump's former adviser made a surprising mistake when she posted a scandalous photo on Twitter. For reasons unknown, Conway posted a photo of her daughter, Claudia Conway, topless.

Claudia Conway was 16 years old at the time of the incident, and since she was a minor, the publication could have been considered criminal. If that wasn't enough, the poor relationship between mother and daughter made people suspicious about Kellyanne Conway's motivations.

Kris Jenner and Gordon Ramsay met, and like many normal celebrity encounters, he posted it to his Instagram account. Nothing weird here, right?

Well, just so happens that Kris also published a picture of the same scene. But hers, in true Kardashian fashion, was super filtered, airbrushing both of them an absurd amount. The comparison is striking and reminds us not to trust all we see on social media... especially when that account is related to a member of the Kardashian clan.

In 2016, a famous tea brand hired the reality star to promote one of their products on Instagram. So that everything would be perfect, they sent him the text, the time, and the instructions to publish it. Simple, right? Well, not for Scott.

Instead, Scott shared the whole message sent from the company: "Here you go, at 4 pm EST, write the caption below: Keeping up with the summer workout routine with my morning @booteauk." Obviously, the blunder went viral instantly. Well, they do say there is no such thing as bad publicity, right??

To celebrate Memorial Day 2017, Sofía Vergara hosted a tropical party at her Beverly Hills mansion. Among the guests were her husband Joe Manganiello, her famous niece Claudia, and Ed O'Neill. Several exotic birds also joined the party who did not appear to be having a very great time.

The actress and her children Manolo and Claudia shared photos on Instagram in which they appeared holding macaws in their arms as if they were babies. The photos generated a wave of criticism, and some followers even asked PETA to intervene.

James Franco's career almost came to an end when, in April 2014, the racy messages he had exchanged with Lucy Corde came to light. And who is Lucy Corde? Well, at that time, a 17-year-old minor.

James Franco said he was embarrassed by the case. “This is the way people get to know each other now, and I am new to this. The problem is not knowing who is on the other side," he said in the program 'Live with Kelly and Michael.'

A month after the Scott Disick blunder, Naomi made the same mistake. In a promotion for Adidas, the model copied and pasted all the advertising text they sent her onto her social media accounts.

“Could you put something like: Thanks to my friend @ gary.aspden and all at Adidas - loving these Adidas 350 SPZL from Adidas Spezial range. @adidasoriginals." Once a diva, always a diva, because when fans called her out on her mistake, Naomi didn't even bother to try to correct her error.

In December 2011, the actor was at the peak of his popularity and had a legion of fans on Twitter, a social network that was beginning to grow rapidly. Charlie Sheen decided it would be a good idea to use the platform to get in touch with a friend and ask him to give him a call.

The problem was that Charlie Sheen posted his own phone number on Twitter. Obviously, his phone exploded with thousands of calls, and he had to change numbers. A few days later, the actor revealed that the friend he was trying to get in touch with was Justin Bieber.

Rapper Cardi B shocked her followers in 2020 after she posted a picture of herself without a shirt on. The rapper can be a little off the wall, but fans were still wondering what was going on with her.

Whoops! Turns out it was a total mistake. She quickly deleted it. Later, she said on Twitter: “Lord why the eff you have to make me so ef-ing stupid? Why? Why? Why? Why?”

The protagonist of 'High School Musical' was outraged when, in March 2020, the Coachella Festival was cancelled due to the pandemic. Despite the lack of knowledge about the virus at the time, the comment she made was still very inappropriate.

In a live video on Instagram, the actress said: "It is a virus; I understand and respect it, but, at the same time, people are going to die no matter what." The next day, she tried to backtrack on her statement and encouraged people to stay home and comply with COVID-19 regulations.
