American Actress Gabrielle Union has announced her departure from social media platform, X, famously and formerly known as Twitter. “There are pivotal moments in life when we must declare that enough is enough – and for me, today is that day,” she began.
“Platforms like X were founded on authentic connections, true engagement and creative expressions, all anchored in respect for user privacy and trust. Yet, with the recent and upcoming changes to the terms of service – and return of volatile figures – I find myself at a crossroads, facing a direction I cannot fully support. I am committed in engaging in spaces that truly value inclusivity, respect, and integrity in the digital world. Sometimes,that means recognizing the last straw and knowing when to step away,” she continued.
The actress went on to thank her fans, saying, “To everyone I’ve connected with here, thank you for the laughs, insights, and the endless support. I am not disappearing completely!”
“You can still find me @gabunion on Instagram, Threads, TikTok, Blue sky, Spill and Facebook (Gabrielle Union) linked in my bio, where we can continue building meaningful connections and positive vibes. Thank you all for being such an incredible part of this journey! Let’s keep spreading love and light to one another in ways that truly matter (star emoji).”
Gabrielle Union was not the only celebrity who announced her departure from X, author, actress and producer, Jamie Lee Curtis also issues a statement announcing her leaving the platform. She shared a screenshot showing her deactivated account and captioned, “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can. And wisdom to know the difference.”
58 year old American journalist, famously known for being a CNN host has also issued a statement on leaving X. He wrote, “ I’ve loved connecting with all of you on X, but it’s time for me to leave the platform. I once believed it was a place for honest debate and discussion, transparency and free speech, but now I feel it does not serve that purpose.”
