Social Media Deletion

[Blind Gossip] When a celebrity makes a drastic change to their social media accounts – such as deleting their significant other, or wiping the account clean of all past posts – it always gets people wondering.

What happened? Did they had a breakdown? A breakthrough? Are they getting a divorce? Are they making some other sort of dramatic change in their life?

In the case of this pretty actress, it’s simply a publicity stunt for her new movie. The film will be in theaters in September, so you can expect the fake drama to last all summer long.

    She’s using Taylor Swift’s marketing method. Taylor did the very same thing to announce her new album, Reputation.

    Blake Lively, husband Ryan Reynolds. The story of her unfollowing Ryan on instagram. I’m just not good at manipulation and this lifestyle would exhaust me

    Blake Lively

    Annoying. She should use her free time to learn some acting.

  12. pancakephanny says

    Blake Lively. She’s only friends with people named Emily Nelson (?)

    Clever one time for shock value, but annoying as heck.

    Blake Lively – A Simple Favor (deleted all her personal posts and just put a trailer to her new movie)

  26. Aurelia says

    She: Blake Lively
    Movie: Don’t care. Too much hype, it must stink.
    Optional: Dumb. Her fans are now dis-connected from her, will only feel negative to be shut out.

    Blake lively
    A Simple Favor

    The synopsis says that a woman (Anna kendrick) looks for her friend who mysteriously disappeared (Lively)

    Blake Lively. I can’t think about her for more than 10 seconds without dropping off to sleep so I can’t really say if it’s annoying or…zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Blake Lively. PR stunt for A Simple Favor. Eh, depends on how it relates to the plot. It’s kind of the equivalent of when celebrities (see: Selena Gomez) post pictures of a ‘haircut,’ only for it to turn out to be a wig. If we weren’t so invested, it wouldn’t matter, but they knowingly use that to manipulate people’s reactions.

    Obviously Blake lively and that what happened to
    Emily movie she has coming out

    Blake Lively

    Kind of clever and kind of annoying. I was hoping for a sisterhood of the travelling pants 3 announcement not some random movie.

  43. itsmelidee says

    Actress: Blake Lively

    Movie: What happened to Emily or A Simple Favor… Not 100% sure

  46. redbus says

    blake lively… seems a bit dramatic to have people think her marriage is in trouble

    Blake Lively

    Movie: A Simple Favor

    Optional: Mildly annoying to me, since the act is given attention when it’s done for something as minor as a movie’s upcoming opening.I

    And hey, I just discovered that a family name of hers is the same as my son’s paternal relatives. Wonder if they are distantly related?

    Blake Lively just deleted all her instagram posts to promote her new movie

    ANNOYING!! Everything about her is fake and irritating lol.

    Blake Lively

    A Simple Favor

    Annoying. Fake controversies, fake relationships & the rest of the BS doesn’t make me more interested in a film. It’s all about good writing & acting for me.

  74. Napoleon says

    P.S.
    Still sure that previous BI about a couple being nice to each other on social media but actually hitting a rough patch were Blake and Ryan, so even if this is a publicity stunt for Paul Feig’s movie, where there is smoke there is fire.

  76. dawnray says

    Blake Lively – she has just wiped clean all her social media accounts. She has a new movie out ‘A Simple Favour’ to promote

  89. Sharper_Teeth says

    Did anybody think it was anything else? It’s very obviously promotion, are they trying to make it seem real?

  90. celebiddy says

    Blake lively promoting her movie with anna kendrick

    She and zayn look like taylor swift copycats now. Maybe that doesn’t bother them since they are both friends with her.

  92. KateArms says

    Actress: Blake Lively

    Movie: A Simple Favor

    [Optional] Clever or annoying? Not clever enough to interest me in this film or her lol

  93. MrBoogie says

    Blake Lively
    A Simple Favor
    Extremely annoying/attention seeking (like Carrie Underwood levels)

  95. chlofa says

    As for the stunt, it’s annoying and overused. Seems like anyone trying to promote something deletes every thing nowadays.

  96. badfish says

    Blake Lively just quit Instagram.

    Her movie is A Simple Favor.

    It’s clever if you see all Hollywood relationships as complete farces.

    Movie: A Simple Favor

    I think it was clever, but I think nobody will care in a few weeks. She should have waited until the movie release was closer.
