Kim Kardashian has finally addressed the viral Instagram post that falsely showed her flirting with Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic.

Speaking on a recent podcast with her sister Khloe, Kim Kardashian confirmed the screenshot of her interacting with Luka Doncic that circulated online was completely fabricated.

The doctored post, which appeared to show her leaving a comment for Doncic, spread rapidly across social media earlier this month.

Kim Kardashian denies Luka Doncic rumor

Kim Kardashian called the viral parody image of her interacting with Luka Doncic “insane,” explaining it made it look like she was reaching out to Doncic after he joined the Lakers.

“There’s a basketball player that I think got traded to the Lakers, Luka… there was a fake tweet or comment on Instagram,” she said. “It looked like I was hitting on this guy.”

She added that the entire situation caught her off guard and highlighted how realistic this edited image has become.

“I haven’t even gone to a Lakers game since,” Kardashian said, laughing off the rumor.

Fake screenshot post causes confusion online

The fake screenshot originated from the parody account NBACentel, which frequently creates doctored NBA social media posts.

Many fans initially believed the exchange was authentic before Kardashian clarified the truth, prompting renewed conversations about the impact of misinformation.

Luka Doncic, who has not commented publicly, continues to focus on his strong campaign with the Lakers.

Kardashian said she hopes the situation serves as a warning about the growing spread of false content online. “It’s scary because people believe it,” she said. “Now, if something like that happens again, I double-check before I even react.”
