“Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star Scott Disick has become the subject of web ridicule after mistakenly including all the instructions his advertisers sent him on a paid Instagram post.
Disick frequently advertises on the platform , being particularly attractive to brands looking to reach his 16 million followers on the platform.

The blunder was quickly spotted by eagle-eyed Instagram users.
