Katie Price has been left 'furious' after Meta blocked and deleted her Instagram account, causing her to lose 2.6 million followers. The British model, 48, had her account removed following a series of complaints, including allegations that she 'flashed a boob' and promoted CBD gummies.
Account Removal After Investigation
Earlier this week, The Sun exclusively reported that Price's Instagram account had been taken down by Meta while it was investigated. Execs analyzed her posts and stories and found no wrongdoing, but the star has now been told she must set up a new account from scratch.
Price is understandably unhappy about starting over, with a source close to the star stating: 'Katie is furious. It's absolutely ridiculous that she's had her account deactivated after spending years building it up and gaining over two and a half million followers. She was previously told it would be back up and running, and now they're saying she might have to start from scratch with a brand new account and zero followers.'
Complaints and Trolls
The blocking comes after complaints about her content, including allegedly 'flashing a boob' on the platform and promoting CBD gummies. The source added: 'It feels like small-minded trolls complaining for the sake of it, and Katie's efforts to stay connected with all her fans is suffering as a consequence.'
Price's profile has never been higher following her husband Lee Andrews' mysterious disappearance in Dubai last month. Her Instagram following had been growing rapidly amid the ongoing saga. On Wednesday, The Sun revealed that Price had a two-minute phone call with the claimed fraudster after he called her from prison.
While Andrews claims he was arrested on suspicion of spying, UAE authorities have debunked this, stating it is connected to a 'private civil matter.'
Fans flooded social media asking where Price's account had gone, with speculation linking it to the Lee Andrews saga. This article originally appeared in Page Six and was reproduced with permission.
