Kai Trump has been accused of deleting boos from an Instagram post she made about her jaunt to watch the New York Knicks with grandpa Donald Trump.
But now, the company behind the post says it made the edits.
Kai, 19, joined the president at Madison Square Garden Monday night to watch Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
After the game, Kai took to social media to post a clip of herself and her grandfather during the anthem, with the caption, “Thank you to 15SOF for capturing this special moment with my Grandpa.”
But she was immediately slammed by critics who said she had fixed the audio — and had swapped the boos from the crowd for cheers.
“Girl your face says it all lmao!! Grandpa & u were BOOED,” said one, as another wrote, “She replaced the audio.”
This is not true, Page Six is told.
The post was made by a company, which Kai referred to, called “15 Seconds of Fame.”
It uses AI software to identify when users are on the jumbotron or other screens in stadiums and arenas and sends them clips.
We’re told the company makes the edits before sending, so Kai, eldest daughter of Donald Trump, Jr. and Vanessa Trump, had nothing to do with audio changes.
“The video shared by Kai Trump on Instagram was exactly the clip delivered by 15SOF to her account on our app and at no time did she request that any audio be altered, enhanced, replaced, or otherwise manipulated,” a company spokesperson told Page Six.
“Due to various broadcast, licensing, and contractual restrictions, 15SOF frequently cannot distribute original event audio and instead utilizes automated alternate contextual audio tracks as part of our content-delivery process. The audio selection process is entirely automated and is not directed by individual users.”
“Like every video we share with users from around the world —whether epic, historic, or (in this case as Ms. Trump described it) ‘nostalgic’ moments between a granddaughter and her grandfather —we are proud to deliver these once-fleeting moments back to fans and preserve memories that otherwise would have been lost forever.”
The post Kai Trump cleared after critics accuse her of deleting boos from Knicks game with Donald Trump appeared first on Page Six.
