People who've been blocked by celebrities on social media are revealing their stories, and it's fascinating to see which stars are quick to hit that "BLOCK" button.
It all started when Reddit user u/hugocaldera6 asked the internet: "Which celebrity has blocked you on social media and why?" Here are some of the top-voted responses:
1. "Gordon Ramsay. I was 13 and in a dumb group chat with my friends on Twitter. Someone in it was followed by him, so they added him to it. He ended up blocking half of us (rightfully, TBH). Also, I messaged him asking if I could be on MasterChef because I could make good ramen noodles, and I think that also caused it."
2. "Kelly Ripa. The best part is I worked for her studio at ABC for years and was never caught trolling her. She is actually a pretty decent human being, but has made life annoying at times."
3. "[I'm blocked by] Caitlyn Jenner for reminding her of the millions she spent on anti-LGBT politicians."
4. "Bo Burnham and I don't know why 🥺. I tweeted at him three times back in 2018 about being excited for, and then how much I liked, Eighth Grade and I only found out he blocked me after I saw everyone sharing his announcement for his new show 😭😭. Broke my heart, I love his work. I bought his poetry book."
5. "Dr. Phil has me blocked on Instagram for commenting, 'I wanna run my teeth through your mustache.'"
6. "Chance the Rapper blocked me after his latest album came out because I commented, 'This shit is dookie.' About 600 likes on the comment in an hour. Then I was blocked. Still blocked."
7. "Dane Cook blocked me on Twitter. He tweeted something along the lines of, 'Sometimes no matter what you do, you can't win.' And I replied, 'Did you make another movie?' Insta-blocked."
8. "William Shatner. I tweeted at him: 'What's goin' on, Slick Willy?' Apparently, he does not like being called Slick Willy."
9. "My brother was blocked by Josh Peck on Twitter. Josh posted a weird Chipotle ad he did and my brother commented, 'WTF are you doing?' Blocked."
10. "Bobby Flay! I tweeted that he looked like Randy from Pee-Wee's Playhouse."
11. "[I'm blocked by] Snooki, and I have absolutely no idea why. I never — and I mean never — comment on celebrities IGs, so I have no idea where it came from 😅🤷🏽♀️."
12. "Jeffree Star once blocked me on MySpace because I kept leaving comments on his page saying things like, 'Hey man, great party last night!' to get random fans of his to send me friend requests. After maybe the third time, he responded angrily telling me to stop, and blocked me from leaving comments."
13. "Jameela Jamil. She kept apologizing for a past insensitive thing she said about a group of people. After the fourth or fifth time, I said something to the effect of, 'We get it. You don’t have to keep apologizing.' She said, 'Fuck off,' and blocked me."
14. "Joel Osteen. I posted on his Facebook that he was the best stand-up comedian of our generation."
15. "Many years ago, I did a REALLY bad Photoshop of Bill Murray and me by the Hollywood sign. Posted it on his Facebook, and I was blocked. I still love you, Billy..."
16. "Anthony Bourdain and I got into a heated discussion on 'humane foie gras' that lasted a few days until he blocked me."
17. "Hailey Bieber... I called her out on her racist past after she posted about online hate once again on Insta."
18. "When the news first broke about Bill Cosby, I tweeted at him that he deserved jail for life. Apparently, people don’t like to hear that about themselves, so he blocked me."
19. "Trump. I sent him a Barack Obama virtual birthday card."
20. "Kirstie Alley. I'm social media connected to some vocal ex-cult members. Very strange to be blocked by someone you've never tweeted at. Found out when I tried to."
21. "Kevin Hart. I typed 'pineapple' 1,727 times."
And finally...
22. "My husband was blocked by Billy Zane because my husband drew a picture of Billy Zane wiping mustard on his face with a bratwurst on a fork. It was a pretty good likeness. What a tit."
