These stars are playing no games! Actress Gabrielle Union is the latest celebrity to announce her departure from Elon Musk’s platform, X, formerly known as Twitter.
The well-respected entertainer took to the platform this Friday to share her decision. She stated, “There are pivotal moments in life when we must declare that enough is enough and for me today is that day.” The 52-year-old went on to express her thoughts, saying, “Platforms like X were founded on authentic connections, true engagement, and creative expression, all anchored in respect for user privacy and trust. Yet, with the recent and upcoming changes to the terms of service and the return of volatile figures, I find myself at a crossroads, facing a direction I can no longer fully support. I am committed to engaging in spaces that truly value inclusivity, respect, and integrity in the digital world. Sometimes, that means recognizing the last straw and knowing when to step away.”
Union added, “To everyone I’ve connected with here, thank you for the laughs, the insights, and the endless support. I am not disappearing completely! You can still find me @gabunion on Instagram, Threads, TikTok, BlueSky, Spill, and Facebook (Gabrielle Union) linked in my bio, where we can continue building meaningful connections and positive vibes.”
She concluded, “Thank you all for being such an incredible part of this journey! Let’s keep spreading love and light to one another in the ways that truly matter.”

Union joins a growing list of stars who have recently exited the platform. As previously reported, former CNN anchor Don Lemon kicked things off, explaining, “I’ve loved connecting with all of you on X, but it’s time for me to leave the platform. I once believed it was a place for honest debate and discussion, transparency, and free speech, but I now feel it does not serve that purpose.”
Fellow actress Jamie Lee Curtis, MSNBC’s Joy Reid, and The Guardian have also distanced themselves from the platform.
Elon Musk, who has been appointed to lead Trump’s new efficiency department, has not responded to these exits.
