Kai Trump has been accused of erasing boos an Instagram post she went on a trip to see the New York Knicks with grandfather Donald Trump.
But now the company behind the post says it has made the edits.
Kai, 19, joined the president at Madison Square Garden on Monday night to watch Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
After the game, Kai took to social media to post a clip of himself and his grandfather during the anthem with the caption, “Thanks to 15SOF for capturing this special moment with my grandfather.”
But she was immediately slammed by critics who said she had fixed the sound – and had switched boos from the crowd to cheers.
“Girl your face says it all lmao!! Grandpa and you got FINED,” one said, while another wrote, “She replaced the sound.”
That’s not true, Page Six learns.
The post was made by a company Kai mentioned 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 shipping, so Kai, eldest daughter of Donald Trump, Jr. and Vanessa Trump, had nothing to do with sound changes.
“The video shared by Kai Trump on Instagram was the exact clip that 15SOF provided 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 is often unable to distribute original event audio and instead uses automated alternative contextual audio tracks as part of our content delivery process. The audio selection process is fully automated and not controlled by individual users.”
“Like all videos we share with users around the world — whether epic, historic or (in this case, as Mrs. Trump described it) ‘nostalgic’ moments between a granddaughter and her grandfather — we’re proud to deliver these once fleeting moments back to fans and preserve memories that would otherwise have been lost forever.”
