Peru is witnessing a political shake-up as José Jeri, 38, steps into the presidential role after the impeachment of his predecessor, Dina Boluarte. And how does Jeri choose to mark his entrance into office? By tidying up his social media presence, starting with a mass unfollow of adult content creators.
Up until now, Jeri's Instagram follows were peppered with accounts known for sharing adult content. This discovery didn't go unnoticed by netizens, who quickly pointed out the "Followed by soyjosejeri" tags on many profiles featuring risqué content. It seems the new president decided that keeping up appearances was crucial, especially on such a public platform.
“It’s not the best look for a world leader to be involved with such content,” commented one observer on social media.
In a decisive move, Jeri unfollowed over 300 accounts within hours of taking office. Whether this was a tactical decision or a step towards rebranding his public image, it certainly made waves. The mass unfollowing has sparked conversations about the intersection of personal interests and public responsibilities for those in high office.
For those adult content creators who had counted on a presidential follower, the sudden change might have come as a surprise. But given the scrutiny that comes with Jeri's new role, it’s clear that some adjustments were inevitable. This incident serves as a reminder of how personal lives can become public interest stories when politics is involved.
