Hollywood actress Gabrielle Union quit X, formerly Twitter, citing her discontent with the recent changes on the site and the return of some unsavory characters. In the statement that she published on Friday, Union explained the reason for leaving, saying the platform no longer values honest connections, artistic self-expression, or respect toward others.
Union said she’s disappointed at the changing terms of service, adding that the atmosphere on X has become increasingly inhospitable for healthy engagement. She committed to continuing her commitment to spaces that uplift inclusivity, integrity, and respect online.
Her departure is but the latest in these waves of criticism X has received lately, as users have continuously questioned the direction of the site under its new management. The move by Union was hailed by fans, many expressing concerns similar to hers over the shift of the platform from its ideal of ensuring healthy interactions.
She told her followers to reach her on Instagram, Threads, TikTok, or everything else, since she’s very much active there, and so they could still connect with her on more positive spaces.
