Gabrielle Union Leaves X Amid Controversy

Gabrielle Union has announced her departure from X (formerly Twitter), citing concerns over recent changes to the platform's terms of service and the return of 'volatile figures' as her reasons for leaving. In a farewell post, she emphasized that X no longer aligns with her values of authentic connections and user privacy. Union's exit is part of a trend among high-profile celebrities, including Jamie Lee Curtis and Don Lemon, who have also left the platform following Elon Musk's support for Donald Trump, the newly elected president. She encouraged her followers to connect with her on other platforms such as Instagram, Threads, and TikTok, where she aims to foster inclusive and respectful interactions. Union's statement highlights a growing discontent with the direction of X, especially after recent rule changes that require legal disputes to be handled in Texas. Her decision reflects a broader wave of celebrity departures amid changing dynamics on social media under Musk's ownership.
