Instagram investigation after Pope’s account liked a photo of a scantily clad model
The Vatican is investigating how Pope Francis’s Instagram account liked a photo of a scantily dressed Brazilian model.
It is unclear when the photo of Natalia Garibotto was given an endorsement by the pope’s verified account, but the “like” was still visible on November 13 before being unliked the next day, according to the Catholic News Agency (CNA).
COY Co, Garibotto’s management company, made the most of the publicity and reposted the image on its own Instagram account last Friday saying she had “received the POPE’S OFFICIAL BLESSING”.
Garibotto, who has 2.4 million Instagram followers, is also reported to have joked: “At least I’m going to heaven.”
Citing sources close to the Vatican’s press office, CNA said an investigation was under way to determine how the photo came to be liked.
A team of people manage the pope’s various social media accounts.
A Vatican spokesperson told the Guardian: “We can exclude that the ‘like’ came from the Holy See, and it has turned to Instagram for explanations.”
Pope Francis is hugely popular across social media, with his official Instagram account, which operates under the username franciscus, attracting 7.4 million followers. The account does not follow any other accounts.
On Twitter, the pope is followed by 18.8 million accounts. In 2017, he was the most popular world leader on the social media platform.
