Gabrielle Union is the latest celebrity to announce that she’s abandoning X, formerly Twitter.
On Friday (Nov 15), in a final post shared to the platform, Union announced that she’s joining in on the mass departure from Elon Musk’s platform.
“There are pivotal moments in life when we must declare that enough is enough,” wrote Union in her last-ever post on the platform. “Platforms like X were founded on authentic connections, true engagement, and creative expression, all anchored in respect for user privacy and trust. Yet, with the recent and upcoming changes to the terms of service—and the return of volatile figures—I find myself at a crossroads, facing a direction I can no longer fully support.”
She continued, “I am committed to engaging in spaces that truly value inclusivity, respect, and integrity in the digital world. Sometimes, that means recognizing the last straw and knowing to step away.”
She thanked her followers for their support and entertainment over the years, adding that you can follow her on Instagram, Threads, BlueSky, Spill and Facebook.
Union is the latest to leave the Musk-owned platform. On Wednesday (Nov. 13), journalist Don Lemon expressed his feelings about the app before closing his account. “I have loved connecting with all of you on Twitter and then on X for all of these years, but it’s time for me to leave the platform,” Lemon explained in a video message. “I once believed it was a place for honest debate and discussion, transparency, and free speech, but I now feel it does not serve that purpose.”
NBC reported that after the Nov 6 election, the platform saw a mass exodus of users since Elon Musk bought the platform in 2022.
