28 Silly Reasons Why People Unfollowed A Celebrity

Buzz Feed01-07-2025
In today's day and age, it's easy to have a parasocial relationship with your fav celebrity. I'll admit, me and Harry Styles go wayyyyyy back.
But for the same reasons one may follow a celebrity, there are many others for unfollowing a celebrity. Over on Reddit, people are chiming in about the most unserious reasons they hit that unfollow button. Here were some of the best (and most hilarious) responses...
"Jake Gyllenhaal could do no wrong in my eyes, he has been hot in every iteration of himself. Bald, skinny, dorky, Donnie Darko, jacked Prince of Persia, creepy crime scene photographer. But once he admitted he doesn't shower often I lost my lady boner. 😞"
"I don't know if this counts because I didn't enjoy his music before this, but I hate Ed Sheeran because he talked about how he always farts while performing and sh*t himself on stage once because he misjudged a fart. He also admitted he doesn't change his underwear everyday during the same interview. Nasty ass (literally), man probably has skid marks in his undies. It's all I can think about when I hear his music and I have to change the station."
"Miles Teller looks like a hybrid of two of my exes. His voice even sounds like a mix of their voices. I just can't even look at him without getting the creeps."
"I got back into Charlie Puth briefly when he released songs like 'Light Switch' and 'Left and Right.' However, he did this one interview where he mentioned how he would have an idea for a song in the middle of...doing the deed. He said he stopped to record a voice note, then got back to doing the nasty. I don't think I've listened to any of his music since."
"I stopped watching the show Bad Sisters because I felt like the main characters on that show all have bad breath. How would I know? I'll never know. But I can't get over it."
"I think I was 10 when Selena Gomez came out with 'Who Says' and as an avid stan and reader of J-14 and Tiger Beat, I was APPALLED by the lyric: 'I'm no beauty queen, I'm just beautiful me.' I felt so betrayed because she had been a winner of child beauty pageants (information I had learned from teen magazines), and I was so upset she would undermine an otherwise good message with LIES. When my friends were making lip-sync videos to later Selena Gomes & the Scene bops, I refused to participate out of principle. Anyway, I eventually realized she didn't write that lyric and I got diagnosed with autism."
"Jon Bernthal not liking naps."
"Sabrina Carpenter. Not because of any of her current controversies, but when she first started blowing up, the Spotify algorithm kept shoving her songs down my throat no matter what playlist I had on. I ended up having to block her artist profile and I'm still annoyed to this day and refuse to listen to her out of spite."
"Rosamund Pike because she never blinks in anything. It's so unsettling. You know who else blinks infrequently? Sociopaths. I'm convinced she must be one, even though she always picks roles and projects that I think are great."
"U2 and the Songs of Innocence debacle. I have had such a hatred for them ever since lol."
"I have one sided beef with Dakota Johnson ever since she said she lied about loving limes. I soon realized that she just lies all the time for fun. I hate her lol."
"I cannot, for the life of me, listen to any Dominic Fike song since that awfully long performance on Euphoria."
"I stopped listening to Iggy Azalea's music after she said that people who let their dogs sleep in their bed are gross. LOL."
"7 year old me had a grudge against Justin Bieber bc I thought he was stealing the JB initials from the Jonas Brothers. I refused to listen to him. 😭"
"Taylor Swift could've been a saint from the moment she first picked up a microphone and I still wouldn't like her because of how 'Love Story' mistold Romeo and Juliet lol."
"I've held a grudge against Josh Hutcherson since I was 4 years old. The original reason was that I didn't like how he treated his brother in Zathura, but other equally stupid reasons have been added over the years, mainly that Bridge to Teribithia traumatized me and was nothing like the trailer made it seem."
"Austin Butler after he wouldn't shut up about all the ways he morphed into Elvis, and that god awful accent 💀 The desperation for an Oscar was such an ick for me."
"Norman Reedus because when I was a hardcore Rick Grimes stan, I was always finding stupid a** Daryl Dixon merch everywhere, but not nearly enough Rick."
"I hate Jason Mraz not only because his music is cringey and bad but mainly because he's never wearing any damn shoes!! I must be subjected to his music AND his feet? Shameful."
"Ryan Reynolds. I just didn't like that they kept pedaling him as being the hottest actor when he is definitely not."
"I never really found George Clooney that attractive and I'm pretty meh on him as an actor. Like he's fine, I liked Ocean's 11. I accepted that other people found him good-looking. Then we watched O Brother Where Art Thou in English class. Specifically in that movie, he looks and acts so similarly to my hillbilly father (who I did not get along with) that I can never find him attractive. He's not. He looks like my dad. He doesn't actually look like my dad, but he did and I cannot accept that he may be attractive to people."
"Jamie Oliver pisses me the fuck off because of how he lies to our faces about oil use. He'll say 'you need just a little bit' before pouring half the bottle in. Shut up Jamie."
"Jennifer Lawrence tripping the second time."
"Eliza Dushku and a college friend of mine both auditioned for an acting job (I have no idea what it was), and Eliza Dushku got it. Keep in mind, this happened an entire decade before I met this girl. When she told us about it, though, my whole friend group resolved to disliking Eliza Dushku forever in a show of solidarity. Then Bring It On came out, and I crumpled. I never told them, though."
"I saw someone once post that 'Emma Stone looks like a Bitmoji' — I can't unsee it and for some reason this made my brain dislike her?"
"Lorde shushing people at her concert."
"John Malkovich because of his speaking cadence."
"Jordin Sparks because my name is Jordan and I hated the way she spelt her name. 😅"
The internet is a weird place — and sometimes, it takes very little for us to ditch a celebrity.

Eager single woman matches with ‘cute' guy on dating app— but was shocked to discover who he was

What is he doing here? A single gal matched with a potential suitor on a dating app, only to soon realize the sleazy guy was not only in a relationship — but he was dating her friend. The shocked dater posted her story to the r/TwoHotTakes forum on Reddit — which has since been deleted — sharing this jaw-dropping story that began with her matching with a guy who caught her eye. After swiping right on each other, he immediately messaged her and the two started chatting. She explained why she was initially drawn to him: he was 'cute' and had a 'funny bio' — yet something about him 'seemed familiar,' although she couldn't put her finger on it. After mentioning the very minor detail of what his favorite coffee shop is — which coincidentally is the same cafe she and her friend frequent — the suspicious woman started to put two and two together. It suddenly dawned on her that she not only knew who this guy was — she had previously been on 'double dates with this man.' Of course, she called him out, and his reply was eye-roll-inducing: 'He says, 'Oh, haha, yeah… but this is just for fun, don't tell her,'' the OP wrote in her post. 'Like he was asking me to keep his little 'oops' secret.' Thankfully, she was more rational than this liar of a guy and quickly unmatched him. Now the question at hand is whether she should tell her friend about this betraying interaction, or keep it to herself. Obviously, the many Reddit users in the post's thread didn't hold back with their thoughts and opinions on the situation — and rightfully so, this story is wild. 'You're not the one blowing up a relationship by being honest.' 'He did that by stepping outside of their relationship. By his own admission, it doesn't seem like they're poly or otherwise open, so this is totally on him.' 'Tell her and take a screenshot as proof that you can. You won't be the only person he's talking to.' While this two-timing guy should be banned from dating apps — other men are being told to lower their expectations when it comes to online dating. According to new research, fellas are aiming too high when swiping for their perfect match. 'Men tended to express interest in women who were more desirable than themselves, while women typically pursued men of more similar desirability,' a team of international researchers discovered, according to the PLOS One journal.

Kevin Costner Reportedly Making A Career Change After Box Office Flop

is testing out new waters. The actor is set to star in his first-ever comedy after he left his acting role on the hit TV show "Yellowstone" for a rather disappointing "Horizon," which performed poorly at the box office. Kevin Costner starred in "Yellowstone" as the main character, John Dutton, who saw him try to salvage his ranch from a company looking to gobble it up as part of its expansion. Kevin Costner Will Team Up With Jake Gyllenhaal On Their New Movie The 70-year-old reportedly inked a deal with Amazon MGM studios to star in a drama and comedy titled "Honeymoon with Harry." He would reportedly be acting alongside the "Brokeback Mountain" star. Costner's new project will be his first film after "Horizon" underwhelming performance at the box office. The movie centers on Gyllenhaal's character embarking on a trip with his late fiancée's father after he loses his would-be wife days before walking down the aisle. Costner and Gyllenhaal's movie, based on Bart Baker's 2016 book "Honeymoon with Harry," will be directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. Despite "Horizon" turning out the way it did, the star actor expressed his contentment with the movie's outcome. Per The Daily Mail, Costner emphasized that the process it took to make such a masterpiece was the most important thing to him. The Oscar Winner Is Not Softpedaling On His Career Anytime Soon Despite walking away from the series and "Horizon" turning out how it did, the only way for Costner is up. He explained that for him, retirement has never popped into his head; he simply moves to the next big thing. He affirmed that his imagination controls him, not by a boss who calls the shots behind the scenes. The actor is also very aware of how lucky he is, but it did not happen by chance, only by pure hard work, which is almost exclusive to him. Costner also does not have a bucket list of how he wants his life to turn out; he shared that his eyes are always wide open for the next big thing, and his enthusiasm is on a high. "I go through that whole idea, and you realize it's about time. It's a rush to get to all of them," the TV star explained, noting that some great surprises are in the future. He also revealed his plans to dabble in writing as his career dives into a much exciting second half. The 70-Year-Old Still Has High Hopes For The 'Horizon' Franchise The star is not backing down from his positivity on "Horizon" as a franchise. Last September, The Blast noted that the actor admitted that he is used to people being initially dismissive of his works. According to him, he is fully convinced of his talent and is sure this film will stand the test of time and leave a lasting impact. In his words: "But they can't be dismissive of 'Horizon' because now it's out of their hands. And they might point to the finish line – well, this is what it did at the box office." The star continued that the movie promises enough longevity for parents to show their children decades down the line. He noted that the movie will provide a glimpse for future viewers to understand how their ancestors dealt with the past. He added that the movie touched on several topics, including the history of migration and survival instincts adopted by ancestors. Costner Was Dragged Into a Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Costner was named in a sexual harassment lawsuit in May by an individual named Devyn LaBella, who claimed their encounter during a scene for "Horizon 2" left her feeling traumatized. As reported by The Blast, LaBella explained that she was hired to stand in for actress Ella Hunt as a stunt double during physical scenes. However, things took a different turn in 2023 when Hunt refused to shoot an intimate scene with co-star Roger Ivens. Ivens was slated to mount Hunt while violently tugging at her shirt; a directive Hunt refused, prompting Costner to allegedly instruct LaBella to stand in for Hunt. The stunt expert claimed that Costner failed to prepare her for the task ahead adequately, refused to seek her consent, and failed to install appropriate measures in place for the performance. LaBella claimed the development brought her shame and humiliation, making her feel a lack of control. Upon her return to the set after taking some time to cool off, she was practically ostracized and asked to stay in the trailer throughout. Kevin Costner's Attorney Slammed Devyn LaBella's Harassment Story Costner's lawyer came through with the disclaimer, adding that the extra layer of evidence she reportedly provided to back up her allegations was not convincing enough. He stressed that her alleged rape situation did not play out the way she had presented it. According to the attorney, LaBella was rehearsing for an Insert Shot for a scripted scene with zero intimacy involved. "There was tugging on a dress while she was fully clothed in a dress with long bloomers lying down next to a male actor," the lawyer emphasized. The legal rep noted that several witnesses had text messages and proof that LaBella's experience was seamless on set. Instead, the stunt expert was filled with gratitude towards the movie's supervisor for granting the opportunity to learn and appear in the project. Solve the daily Crossword

36 Movie Pet Peeves That Made Viewers Stop Watching

We all know the best way to enjoy a film is to fully immerse yourself in its world. But have you ever been watching a movie and thought "this is so ridiculous and absolutely unrealistic?" Over on Reddit, people are sharing their biggest movie "pet peeves" — And now I'm thinking back to every single movie I've ever watched in a whole new light. "When people walk around with cups of coffee or drinks, they're always empty and it's obvious by the way they carry them." "Anything to do with computer systems is always dumbed down to the point of being meaningless drivel or technically impossible." "Driving. There is no way someone is looking at their passenger for that long without getting in an accident." "SPRINKLERS DO NOT GO OFF WHEN YOU PULL THE FIRE ALARM." "If the good guy gets shot in the stomach, it's no big deal. Sometimes they keep on fighting and once its all over, the guy will reveal he was hit in the gut, but he's okay. If you get shot in the stomach in real life, you wouldn't be able to stand up. You would hit the ground and make noises similar to a cow giving birth. There's a big chance you wouldn't survive it, and if you do, you'll be using a colostomy bag for the rest of your life. Nobody is walking off a gut shot." "Tornado movies where they act like tornados just drop from the sky out of nowhere and wreak havoc on a town. Tornados happen with thunderstorms — so no, people aren't just hanging out at an outdoor baseball game on a nice sunny day when a tornado appears suddenly and rips through the field." "People having sex or kissing in the morning when you KNOW they stink! Like spicy scenes when folks have been running around all day in the heat and tight jeans. Knowing damn well that room is going to smell like wet cat food. Vomit." "When people are shocked back to life from 'flat-lining'. There are only 2 shockable rhythms — ventricular tachycardia, or ventricular fibrillation. Anything else won't work. And this is on medical shows the most! It drives everyone working in health care crazy LOL." "How long people can hold their breath under water." "Dirty feet. This happens in sitcoms too. They walk around barefoot and forget to check the bottom of their feet🤦‍♀️." "When people get knocked unconscious and then get up like nothing ever happened. I got knocked unconscious in a car accident and I felt dizzy and generally unwell for hours." "Unnatural conversations with the sole purpose of informing the viewer. Best example that comes to mind is Big Hero 6: 'What would mom and dad say?' 'They died when I was three, remember?'" "Why is there a class bell in college?!?!! Drives me nuts!" "When they hit someone on the back of the head to interrogate them later. Whatever they knew, they now forgot my man." "People in movies cutting their hair to become unrecognizable. They always grab the hair and start cutting it all over the place, and in the next scene, they have a cute bob. You'd be more noticeable with a hack job like that." "As an electrician, most of the time, it involves electricity as a storytelling device. For example, an outlet blowing someone across the room or lights exploding like mini grenades. I've been shocked many times from outlets and never get thrown across the room. Power lines don't shock you then fling you — they grab hold and don't let go until a breaker fails. If an outlet was overpowered, it would've melted long before the antagonist got close enough for it to arc to them." "Sprinkler systems don't all go off at once and the water is certainly not clean." "Air ducts are always magically clean and big enough for a person to crawl through. (They aren't)." "The way characters get their beds ready to sleep (or lack thereof). It drives me nuts when I see them get into a bed with four huge pillows angled straight up and they don't turn down their pillows or remove the second set from behind them. They literally plop down on the pillow in the most unrealistic way. Like okay girl, we both know you are not spending the next 8 hours sleeping with your neck craned up like that on a sideways pillow." "Women always look perfect — Just woke up? Perfect hair and makeup. Just went through a tornado? Perfect hair and makeup. Your ship sank and you're hanging onto a door for dear life and the love of your life just froze to death? A little wet, but perfect hair and makeup." "Childbirth. In real life, people know due dates and aren't completely shocked when it comes. The baby is not born 10 minutes after contractions start, you have a few hours to get to a hospital. And that shit is messy. Amniotic fluid, blood, urine, feces everywhere. If by some crazy twist of fate where you actually did have to give birth outside of a hospital, the area immediately around you would be a biohazard that can't be shown on screen. You'd be way, way more likely to die of something like pre-eclampsia because there's no immediate medical care." "Music. It makes me crazy when a movie set in a particular year or time period has a song in its soundtrack that 'hasn't been released yet.'" "People don't stutter or trip over their words unless it's part of their character or serves a story purpose." "When actors wear fake glasses. You can tell because the lenses are flat, while real glasses are curved. Maybe it doesn't drive me crazy but it's something I do notice that breaks the immersion a tad." "Courtrooms always have a large audience in movies. I've never seen more than a handful of people just chilling in a courtroom in real life. Better Call Saul got this right however." "Guns making metallic 'cocking' sounds whenever anyone touches them." "I'm a carpenter — I sign out in movies when the main character is supposed to be a skilled tradesperson and looks like they've never swung a hammer. If the actor worked on a construction site for two weeks, it would go a long way toward making it more believable. For example, Ben Stiller in Greenberg obviously didn't know what he was doing. On the other side, Mark Ruffalo in You Can Count On Me had clearly been practicing. Harrison Ford was a real life carpenter, so he always looks legit (Witness and Mosquito Coast stand out to me)." "When a character falls or dives into a river or the ocean, they're completely oblivious to the cold, even if it's a scene in the middle of the winter." "Just leaving the door front wide open when entering or leaving." "When the main characters are in a line or something, and none of the background people are doing anything. I just watched a Christmas movie where this woman skipped the line to talk to Santa about something. No one in the line said anything the entire time, and were just smiling and watching come on, I need a little bit of realism from the extras." "As a registered nurse, the angle they put the needle in to draw blood makes me furious. Or when they inject medicine directly into someone's neck. Both instances, they are nowhere near the vessels. It takes me out of the story for a bit." "For me it is about how much time it would actually take to drive from place to place. Like, you're not getting in and out of NYC or LA in less than an hour." "Fist fights. They take turns letting the other guy punch them in the face. Most people would get knocked out after eating one or two of those punches but in the movies they'll eat like ten punches and only come out with a bleeding lip or a black eye." "'Over and out' while talking on a radio. Ughhhhh I hate that. Also, no scars or bruises. If a character has a slash on their face, they look pretty good in a few scenes. There's no scabbing, and usually the 'scar' just looks like someone took a tub of lipstick and crudely ran it down their face." "When they're driving in a heavily populated city and don't stop a SINGLE time. You're telling me you had no red lights, no congested traffic and no jaywalkers? You're telling me not a single person is holding up a lane because they're unloading their U-Haul truck?" "Military uniform violations: people in military uniforms walking around outside with longish hair and no headgear. Conversely, walking around indoors while wearing headgear and saluting officers. WTF!" Do any of these "pet peeves" annoy you too? Let us know something the movies always get wrong in the comments!
