28 Silly Reasons Why People Unfollowed A Celebrity
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 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.
