Gabrielle Union Announces Departure from X, Citing Concerns Over Platform Changes
American actress Gabrielle Union has announced her decision to leave the social media platform X, expressing concerns about its shift away from its original goals.
In a statement shared on her X handle on Friday, Union highlighted that the recent changes, including “the return of volatile figures,” have made the platform unwelcoming for her.
“Platforms like X were founded on authentic connections, true engagement, and creative expression, all anchored in respect for user privacy and trust,” she wrote. “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.”
Union emphasized her commitment to engaging in online spaces that prioritize inclusivity, respect, and integrity. “Sometimes, that means recognizing the last straw and knowing when to step away,” she added.
While she departs from X, Union assured her fans that she remains active on other social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Spill, and TikTok.
