10 Celebs Who QUIT Social Media
10 Celebrities who gave up on social media and deleted their accounts completely.
When it comes to social media, celebs are just like us. Though we don’t have to deal with Internet trolls and cyber bullying as much as they do, they can find that they are spending too much time online. Because of that, many celebs decide to go offline and live life in real time. Though they all have their different reasons, and some don’t leave for very long, these are 10 celebs that quit social media.
Why have some celebrities quit social media altogether?
In the digital age, social media has become an integral part of our lives. From Instagram to Facebook, Twitter to Snapchat, social media platforms have transformed the way we interact with people, consume news, and share our lives with the world. However, for some celebrities, while social media might have given them fame and fortune, it has also brought unwanted attention, hate and negativity. Consequently, some have chosen to quit social media altogether in pursuit of a happier, healthier life. Here are 10 celebs who have quit social media:
1. Ed Sheeran: The British singer announced his departure from social media in 2015, saying, “I find myself seeing the world through a screen and not my eyes.” Sheeran has since returned to social media but only uses it to share his music.
2. Justin Bieber: In 2020, the pop star said goodbye to his millions of followers on Instagram, stating that social media made him feel “super disconnected” and “unhappy”. He has yet to return.
3. Adele: The “Hello” singer quit Twitter in 2015 due to the negativity she was receiving from trolls. She has since returned, but rarely tweets.
4. Millie Bobby Brown: The “Stranger Things” actress left Twitter in 2018 after she became the target of bullying and homophobia.
5. Emma Stone: The “La La Land” actress revealed that she quit social media for her mental health, explaining, “I think it wouldn’t be a positive thing for me. If people can handle that sort of output and input in the social media sphere, power to them.”
6. Shia LaBeouf: The actor deleted all his social media accounts in 2018 to focus on his art, and has chosen to keep a low profile since then.
7. Lorde: In 2018, the New Zealand singer announced her departure from Instagram, saying that she wanted to step away from “the sheer daily involvement/ investment in the social media machine”.
8. Daisy Ridley: The “Star Wars” actress quit Instagram in 2016 after she received backlash for speaking out on gun control.
9. Kendall Jenner: The supermodel deleted her Instagram account in 2016, saying that she needed a break from social media after feeling “too dependent on it”.
10. Tom Hardy: The actor left Twitter in 2011 after receiving negative comments about a TV show he had appeared in. He has since stayed clear of social media.
In conclusion, social media can be a blessing and a curse, and for some celebs, the latter outweighs the former. Whether it’s due to the negativity, the stress or just the need to disconnect, these 10 celebrities have shown that even the biggest stars need a break from social media every now and then.
