Welcome to the wonderful world of haters. Anyone, hidden behind a screen can try to embitter with their frustrations and envies to public figures who leave their opinions on social networks. And sometimes they succeed. When the first basic rule is to ignore these trolls, the truth is that sometimes when there are millions or hundreds of thousands of followers who are behind, it is more complicated to face them.
There are examples of actresses who directly hate networks and are not in them (Emma Stone is an example) but most use them as a tool to promote their work.
And although the smartest thing is always to ignore destructive comments that have no feet or head, there are moments that can really overwhelm the most painted. And that includes the Hollywood stars, who are not immune to certain destructive haters. This hurts the educated fans who do want to share ideas and debates with their admired stars.
We list below, coinciding with the news of the selection of Ruby Rose as Batwoman and the controversy formed around it, a group of actors and directors whose pressure and criticism were devastating. And temporarily or permanently closed their most prominent social networks.
1. Ruby Rose
The most recent case of all. The actress, which we have seen in ILONB (Orange is the new black) and films like John Wick 2 or Megalodon has been the subject of controversy. Newly chosen to be Batwoman, a lot of angry fans have asked with the #RecastBatwoman hagstag to find another actress since Rose was not "lesbian enough" to play the character.
All this nonsense has ended with the actress closing her Twitter. He received the support of sensible people as companions of the likes of Stephen Amell (Arrow), Laverne Cox (OITNB) and Janelle Monáe (Hidden Figures).
Rose answered the haters: "Where the hell do those messages come from, 'Ruby is not a lesbian so she can not be a Batwoman?' I came out of the closet at 12 and have had to deal with the last 5 years with messages of too lesbian And all of a sudden, I have not changed in all this time, I wish we would support each other, when women and when minorities join forces, we are unstoppable, when we divide, it is more harmful than any other group. , I'll be in my Batmobile. "
2. Daisy Ridley
In August of 2016 the British actress suffered some harsh criticism because many haters of The Awakening of the Force took the opportunity to throw land on her. What happened? That Ridley published a message in his networks about the regulation of weapons in the US, since he had participated in an event that served as a tribute to the victims of a shooting in Orlando. Many people opposed to their ideas that also could not stand his character as King in the saga of Star Wars took the opportunity to put her to birth. And she could not stand it, closing her Instagram account.
Luckily for his fans he came back later ...
3. Lena Dunham
The creator of the series Girls (and actress of the same) was accustomed to publish on Instagram a lot of personal images with underwear and uninhibited. Many haters once took advantage of their alleged "defects" and physical body and everything led to an angry debate that ended on Twitter. Insults, redress, offenses ... Dunham finished tired and closed his official Twitter account. It was the year 2015 and was among the first to do so.
With time, past the event, explained in an American media his reasons for doing so: "It was not a graphic picture, I was wearing men's boxers and that became the most rabid and unpleasant debate about the body of women." The account was reactivated much later, reaching over 5.5 million followers.
4. Millie Bobby Brown
The actress of Stranger Things, famous for being the icon of the series with her character Eleven (Once) suffered quite a few months ago. A group of fans (rather haters with free time) dedicated themselves to making many memes with the face of the actress, posing as a homophobic and violent character.
The young woman of 14 years had a very bad time and although it was clear that she was not the one who was guilty of any of this, she decided to eliminate her official Twitter account forever. Nowadays, only an unofficial "parallel" account of the actress (@milliestopshate) that seeks to end bullying remains active.
5. Joss Whedon
The one who was director and scriptwriter of Avengers: the Ultron era also had hard moments in 2015, just after the premiere of the popular Marvel universe tape. Suddenly, Whedon himself cut the communication on Twitter with his fans, leaving a lot of speculation in the air.
6. Kelly Marie Tran
It happened to be crowned of fame and popularity thanks to its paper of Star Wars: The last Jedi, where it gave life to the young warrior Rose. The actress, 29, suffered in her own flesh the wrath of a lot of fans who hated both the film itself, directed by Ryan Johnson, and Rose herself. A lot of answers and phrases were poured on her, with all kinds of sexist and racist issues. For that reason, Kelly Marie Tran decided to try to protect herself in a simple way: she emptied her Instagram with all the publications she had to date. And until today, it continues like this. Without publications.
7. Ashton Kutcher
All a Hollywood figure who has been in recent years in the tabloids for his romantic comings and goings (Demi Moore, Mila Kunis). He was a pioneer in Twitter in some way, since he was the first public figure to achieve in 2009 something unheard of at the time: the figure of 1 million followers. This implied that all his comments boiled in one way or another with thousands of interactions.
The controversy in this case was when they fired soccer coach Joe Paterno, accused of having concealed alleged sexual abuse of one of his collaborators. Kutcher stood openly in his favor and a huge snowball was bundled up. "How can they fire JoePa? As a Hawkeyes fan I find it in bad taste," was what the actor tweeted.
Kutcher realized the error but it was too late. He left Twitter personally and published the following: "Twitter is a mass publication platform where tweets quickly become news that travels around the world and misinformation becomes volatile food for critics." And since 2011 he has not returned to anything personal but has given the account to a professional company (Katalyst Media) and is responsible for moving the network to professional level.
8. Lindsay Lohan
The actress and singer got into a complex garden in the past. And then in another. The truth is that he came to defend Harvey Weinstein on Twitter: "I feel very bad for Harvey Weinstein right now, I do not think it's fair what is happening." They fell sticks everywhere, of course.
In addition, in 2017, it has already decided to close all its main networks (Instagram and Twitter), with this justification: "It has many positive aspects such as helping you maintain contact with your loved ones and old friends, but there are also negative consequences in being so connected with the whole world. "
With time he returned and his last mess was not long in coming and comes from a post where he questioned the #MeToo movement. Lohan said that "the women seemed weak when talking about the sexual abuse they suffered". He has apologized but the controversy is again served and threatens to leave the networks in the present, once again.
9. Damon Lindeloff
The one that was scriptwriter and co-creator of series like Lost (Lost) or The Leftovers finished fed up of the social networks. And it was in the simplest possible way possible. But everything had a reason.
Lindeloff, accustomed to receiving insults, complaints, provocations and haterism almost daily for his creations one day decided to stand. Many of them had to do with the strange and unsatisfactory final of Lost. So he came up with a pretty clever plan to leave Twitter forever. He focused on leaving everything at once on the same date that 2% of the population disappeared in his other great known series: The Leftovers. October 14, for more information.
10. Alec Baldwin
Baldwin has been an example of an actor that comes and goes on social networks. He left Twitter in 2011. He was kicked out of a flight because he was playing Apalabrados with his cell phone and he got angry. He asked his fans to stop following him on networks and increased the number of followers. It was a while. In 2013 he left Twitter a long time because his wife received criticism after the death of James Gandolfini and a comment published on that date by her.
And the latest is that Baldwin, who already seemed calm and calm in networks, was angry with Asia Argento, which accused Wenstein of abuse and to which Baldwin himself questioned his form publicly. It has been going since November 2017. And almost until today. In June and July he retweeted something isolated but does not seem willing to be very active anymore.
BONUS TRACK: Javier Ambrossi
We finished the report with a recent Spanish case. This is co-director and co-screenwriter Javier Ambrossi (La Llamada, Paquita Salas). The Spanish influencer Dulceida received many criticisms after traveling to Africa, where she gave some sunglasses to a child and accused her of frivolity and posturing with very serious subjects. Ambrossi decided to defend her in his own way and issued a statement saying the following on Twitter: "I'm leaving this social network (...) I think we are reaching limits of radicalism that I do not share and that border on danger.
