Insider Claims Khloé Kardashian Has Rift With Business Partner — and Fans Spotted the Fallout With an Unfollow

Khloé Kardashian hasn't posted about Good American in months, and fans have noticed.

The brand she co-founded with Emma Grede in 2016, once a constant presence on her Instagram feed is quietly drifting to the background of her world.

It's not dramatic, no headlines screaming tension. But there's a subtle shift that people online can't stop talking about: the Instagram unfollow of Grede, the missing brand tags, the silence where once there was relentless promotion.

It's the kind of change that doesn't announce itself loudly. But if you pay attention on the Kardashians, it says everything.

From Co-Founder to Side Project

Good American used to be Khloé's constant companion. New launches? She was there posting campaign photos. Behind-the-scenes of shoots? You could almost follow along frame by frame. Events? She showed up, always smiling, making the brand feel like a natural extension of herself.

Meanwhile, Emma Grede was in the background, keeping the brand running, making sure campaigns actually landed, numbers balanced, products shipped. Together, they were a quiet engine of celebrity influence and business savvy, and it worked.

Now, sources cited by Mandatory say Khloé is more interested in her own projects her Khloud fashion line, her podcast leaving Good American's day-to-day largely to Grede.

She's still tied to the brand, yes. But the intimacy of that original co-founder bond has thinned, almost like the early morning fog over L.A.—still there, just less tangible.

The Instagram Unfollow That Got Everyone Talking

Fans noticed first through silence.

Khloé's last post about Good American came in August 2024. Then the subtle, quiet shocker: she unfollowed Grede. Online, it spread fast. Reddit threads debated whether the co-founders were drifting apart, asking if the pair had a falling out. Some wonder if she's just busy.

People who know them, though, insist it's not dramatic. Insiders say their relationship fizzled out gradually. The good news is they're still connected professionally; they just don't work together the way they used to.

For fans of the collaboration, maybe sometimes an unfollow is just an unfollow, and sometimes it's the internet seeing shadows where there's only shifting priorities.

The Brand's Growth During and After Khloé Kardashian

Good American's story is bigger than any Instagram post.

It launched in 2016 and instantly became known for inclusive sizing and high-profile celebrity marketing. Its first collection reportedly earned £4 million ($4.8 million) in its opening year. By 2018, it had expanded into activewear and dresses, with annual sales estimated at £20 million ($24 million).

Khloé's role as public face was vital, while Grede kept the machinery moving behind the scenes.

As Khloé branched out into Khloud and her podcast, her hands-on role naturally waned. By 2024, the brand continued to thrive reportedly generating more than £60 million ($72 million) annually but the partnership that fans once idolized had softened.

The distance isn't drama; it's the quiet result of careers growing in different directions.

And even though Khloé isn't running the day-to-day anymore, Good American is still going strong. The brand is pulling in big numbers, reportedly over £60 million ($72 million) a year. Its denim, dresses, and activewear are still catching eyes for the sizes that actually fit real people and the celebrity campaigns that keep fans talking.

Grede is the one steering the ship now, making sure new collections and partnerships roll out smoothly.

The recent collections show the brand isn't standing still. They're trying new styles, adding seasonal pieces, and keeping up with trends, but without losing the vibe that made Good American famous in the first place. Online, the brand still has a loyal following and a strong social media presence, proving that even with Khloé stepping back a little, people are still shopping and talking about it.

In some ways, this setup, Khloé lending star power while a solid team runs the operations might actually be helping the brand grow more steadily than before.
