Less than 24 hours after Kendall Jenner made her much-anticipated debut on TikTok, the model's account has disappeared.
Business Insider discovered Tuesday afternoon that Jenner's account, made using the handle @kendalljenner, has been deleted. The account quickly attracted hundreds of thousands of followers, but no remnants of Jenner's newest social media profile remain.
Jenner made her TikTok debut Monday with a simple video, set to"Pretty Face" by King Staccz, of the model standing in front of a bathroom mirror. In just two hours, the video racked up 920,000 likes, and Jenner's account accrued nearly half a million followers.
It's unclear as to the reason why Jenner's TikTok account has disappeared: Jenner could have deleted the account, or TikTok could have removed it for violating any number of policies. It's unlikely that the account was an impersonation, given that the account was given a verified blue checkmark.
Neither TikTok nor reps for Jenner have responded to Business Insider's request for comment.
At 24, Jenner is the closest in age to Generation Z, TikTok's biggest audience, of anyone in the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Jenner was the third member of the dynasty to join TikTok: Kourtney Kardashian joined in December 2019, and Mason Disick - Kourtney Kardashian's 10-year-old son - appeared in videos on a since-deleted account.
It seems that at least some TikTok users have taken notice of Jenner's disappearance. The TikTok handle Jenner used has already been claimed by another user, and the account now has only 19 followers.
