These 30 People Got Blocked By Celebrities And Brands On Social Media, Reveal The Reasons In This Online Thread
Those almost hard-to-comprehend numbers of followers that we see near the names of celebrities' social media accounts can make it seem as if there's no way they could ever notice us. Luckily (or not), it's not as impossible as it sometimes appears to be. As it turns out, some folks out there manage to not only grab the attention of someone famous but even get the pleasure of being blocked by them.
Recently, Reddit user u/hugocaldera6 hit up the platform with a pretty interesting question that quickly received a lot of attention: "Which celebrity has blocked you on social media and why?" they asked fellow users. As of now, the thread has over 7,000 answers from Redditors sharing their best stories about getting blocked by celebrities and famous brand accounts on social media. Without further ado, Bored Panda invites you to look at some of the best ones.

I was blocked by Donald Trump on Twitter because I called him an orange fake-tanned bastard that doesn't know how to run a country. This led on to me screenshotting the activity and jokingly reporting it to Boris Johnson. The Prime Minister replied that "he isn't supportive of my behaviour", then he blocked me. 2 blocks from world leaders in the space of 3 days.
Tangerine turd never read that comment. His staff filtered critical tweets out because they didn't want to have to deal with a senile butthurt narcissist going berserk.
Load More Replies...blocked by two world leaders in 3 days. Something to strive for. This is my hero
Right? At least these two world leaders. I'd be sad to be block by Merckel and Arden.
Load More Replies...He blocked me too. I can’t really post what I wrote (as BP is a more well mannered site than most) but it wasn’t that complimentary.
Well done you. Being blocked by a semi-animated Cheeto and his brethren is a badge of honour.
Really solid blocks, two leaders who should never had been given power..
Joel Osteen. I posted in his facebook that he was the best stand up comedian of our generation.
I was confused and thought it was just a nice compliment until I searched up Joel Osteen
How can anybody believe that a person who bleaches their teeth, colors their hair, wears a corset and uses Botox is anywhere near telling the truth in any matter - least of all in matters of faith.
I usually put on CBS Sunday Morning when I get up on Sundays. I like their stories while I make breakfast for the family, and it's something I've done for years. Our local CBS station would run Osteen right after, and my kids were always like "can we change the channel? this guy is weird." I don't know if it was Covid that stopped his broadcasts, or if the local station just dropped him, but he's not on anymore, and I like it. Disingenuous sh*t salesman with a mouth full of samples.
Oh my. Your last statement is precious! !!!! ;-)
Load More Replies...That was friggin HILARIOUS!! I APPLAUD AND SUPPORT YOU ON THIS ONE.. AND MORE!
Not a celebrity, but I got blocked by PETA for asking why they euthanise healthy animals.
Because their president Ingrid Newkirk believes that there's no better animal than a dead animal. Under the guise of "Animal rights" Peta kills perfectly healthy animals.
There are somethings about my life that I always say I'd never wish on another, but PETA tests those limits almost every time they post a tweet.
Load More Replies...PETA is the kid who bullies everyone every day and then yells at the kid who does the same thing once.
And they get celebrities supporting them to look like they are sensitive to animals without really knowing what PETA does. All for show.
Load More Replies...not sure if its relevant but the fact that the 'e' in the logo is a completely different font infuriates me
A PETA person yelled at me for having a Service Dog. Told me I was "oppressing the dogs spirit". Wait, what? And you kill them so they don't go live with people? How is that for oppressing the spirit? Huh?
They also tried getting people on board thinking the Coronavirus was because of carnivores. A bunch of idiots thinking they do good for the world.
Caitlyn jenner for reminding her of the millions she spent on anti LGBT politicians
it just makes me so tired at this point--I've asked people to be more accepting so many times the phrase has almost lost meaning
Load More Replies...I reminded her how she killed someone and got away with it. No block yet
The deeper in the closet the more anti LGBT+ they are. Its sad. Luckily she doesn't have to pretend to be that person anymore.
I GOT BLOCKED FOR SAYING "HI UNCLE! " TO TIM SCOTT ON HIS ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
Someone who actively supports those politicians should taste a bit of their medicine. Am I right, Bruce?
Trump. I sent him a Barack Obama virtual birthday card.
On the bright side, Trump has been blocked now from Twitter and Facebook. He will be remembered as the president who got banned from social media like any other common troll or pervert.
Elon Musk blocked me on twitter back when ESA landed on that asteroid, I asked him how he felt that we finally made contact with his species.
As a autie (I'm on the Autistic spectrum) I find it really funny as the alien feeling is quite common for neuro diverse
Elon Musk is the reason I tell no one I'm on that spectrum. He' creepy af. I guess, in his case, calling himself autistic is more of a marketing stunt, because everything he does in public looks like a marketing stunt, and likely is.
Load More Replies...I’m surprised. He usually has a good sense of humor about stuff like that
I think that asteroid belongs to Zuckerberg's species which would explain him being offended
Load More Replies...That's just dumb. Trolling should at least have a hint of cleverness.
Upvoted because you're right. However, if this person was just trying to make him laugh and not trolling, then that's something different and either Musk got offended (I doubt it) or he agrees with you and assumes it's a troll just trying to be rude
Load More Replies...As an asperger myself, I totally understand Musk's reaction. My reaction to this kind of joke ranges from "haha that's funny" to "I wanna punch you SO bad", depending on various factors.
Wait what does this have to do with aspergers?

Dane Cook blocked me on Twitter. He tweeted something along the lines of, "Sometimes no matter what you do, you can't win." And I replied "Did you make another movie?" Insta-blocked.
I didn't too much mind Employee of the Month I actually enjoyed it, generic easy to follow plot.
Not a celebrity but Ford blocked me on Twitter cuz I kept asking them to bring the crown Victoria back
There are still some in decent shape available for sale.
Load More Replies...I miss the Crown Vic. For one thing, it made a great cop car and you knew instantly who the cops were...
We had an 80's model Crown Vic when I was growing up and it was AWESOME. Not as good as the 1985 Lincoln Town Car that was my first car (in 1997) though. My dad likes to buy things at auctions.
Blasphemy. The Vic is way better than the Town Car. Neither as good as the Mercury Grand Marquis.

Not a celebrity but Harbor Freight. When I commented that their pipe inspection cameras are good for home colonoscopies.
They feared being sued for selling medical equipment at 1% of the price of one colonoscopy in a hospital.
I love it when companies show a sense of humor and joke back. They could've said that don't support what you are doing but want you to be safe and sent you a large spotlight. That could've went to viral and given them so much free press.
Dane Cook. Any time something bad happened to me I compared it to him. “I got fired today. This is really the Dane Cook of days.” Stuff like that.
William Shatner. I tweeted him "What's goin on, Slick Willy?". Apparently, he does not like being called Slick Willy lmao
Probably because slick W***y was what we called Bill Clinton when he got away with perjury
I’m president of the #BlockedByShatner club because I made fun of his singing. He @‘d me and told his followers to block me when I wouldn’t pay him $5,000 ti unblock me
He blocks everyone at the drop of a hat. Yet his own behaviour is often very rude towards others. He's a little emotionally unstable, but very intelligent. Shame really.
Load More Replies...I got blocked by him for defending another of his fans. He had misread what she had said to him and blocked her. I don't know her, but i thought this was an injustice that needed correcting. The woman and I had a chat about it, she was a Shatner fan since being a small child. So i responded to his comment about her that he had misread what she'd said and to give her a second chance. Instant block. He definitely doesn't like to be shown to be a fool.
Gordon Ramsay. i was thirteen and in a dumb group chat with my friends on twitter, someone in it was followed by him so they added him to it. he ended up blocking half of us (rightfully tbh)
also i messaged him asking if i could be on masterchef because i could make good ramen noodles and i think that also caused it
Um I kinda love 💕 him but what the hell do you need a knife and fork 🍴 for when eating a Burger and fries🍔🍟
My friend was blocked by Vucic, the president of serbia because she asked how much money they washed on the reconstruction of republic Square
James Charles for putting up a picture of dog grooming products and capturing it "The new James Charles collection"
One of my friends on Twitter got blocked by him because she called him a pedo...
This finnish writer who stole memes and posted them on instagram as his own. I said something about it and he banned me from his page. Juha Vuorinen is his name
Dr. Phil has me blocked on Instagram for commenting “I wanna run my teeth through your mustache.”
Kevin Hart. I said/ typed pineapple 1727 times.
you mean . . . like this: pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple But more than 101 times?!?!?!
Well if you're going to put that much effort in, you might as well get something out of it (I'm assuming that you wanted a block.)
Of course you were blocked... Anyone would you for being an ass like that
Jimmy from the Dave and Jimmy radio show in Columbus, OH. He posted a picture of his sister and said; "She got all the good looks in the family." and I said; "Looks like there wasn't much to go round in he first place then."
I reached out to him and apologized personally, and was un-blocked.
It made you laugh because in these stories the OP is the protagonist. If you read that on your own you probably would have been appalled and snapped at him.
Load More Replies...He's a personal friend of mine (used to work there) and the best way to ruin his day was to thoughtfully stroke your chin and pensively opine..."I don't think that outfit really works". I think I actually once made him cry. Total mommy's boy/prick/no talent.
He said she looked good, how is that sexual to you?

Jim Cornette blocked me on Twitter after he bragged about slapping Santino Marella around. I replied, "You know damn well that if he wasn't looking for a job and green card at the time he would have crippled you."
Blocked within the hour of posting.
Corny does not really take kindly to the truth, especially if it makes him look bad.
Chance the rapper blocked me after his latest album came out because I commented “this s**t is dookie”. About 600 likes on the comment in an hour. Then I was blocked. Still blocked :(
Real question- is that a good thing for something to be dookie? Bc the way I see it, you could either be implying that something is shitty or that something is the s**t.
Jeffree Star once blocked me on MySpace because I kept leaving comments on his page saying things like "Hey man, great party last night!" to get random fans of his to send me friend requests. After maybe the third time, he responded angrily telling me to stop and blocked me from leaving comments.
Considering that Jeffree is a p.o.s, I don't really find issue in messing with him lol
But fishing in a pond of saddos makes it OK I suppose?
Load More Replies...He's like what would happen if the Cryptkeeper got a makeover from Takashi 69.
Damn it! You made me spit out my drink! Thanks so much for the laugh!

A famous astronomer blocked me because I blocked him.
I was following him but his posts were overwhelming my feed. Retweets were off too. I unfollowed but days later, my feed was still all his posts. So I blocked him to stop it.
A few years later, thought I’d try again since Twitter’s made changes and he has me blocked.
Alrighty then, Phil. Be that way
Just a tip, but I've had the problem where I'd unfollow people and still see their posts. Decided to delete and then reinstall the app and that cured it.
I remember someone saying they got blocked by Hulk Hogan for telling him he doesn't need to sign his tweets off with HH.
In germany, this could be mistaken for "Heil Hitler". Could cause some troubles.
You were just trying to help! But I’d that’s what he wants to do. He can.
Hulk smash... I still haven't gotten over Gawker and his unholy union with Peter Thiel.
I told Janoris Jenkins that he was burnt toast and couldn’t cover me
He still can’t cover but he knows how to block apparently
I'm not sure who you are nor what that phrase specifically means but it does sound somewhat racist to me. Maybe that's how he took it and that's why you're blocked. My advice, think before you type.
Many years ago, I did a REALLY bad photoshop of Bill Murray and I by the Hollywood sign. Posted it on his Facebook, and I was blocked. I still love you Billy... :)
Bill Murray is not on Facebook. (I'm guessing he used to be? Maybe you're the reason he deleted his page LOL)
B.O.B that Airplanes in the Night Sky rapper. DM'd him on insta calling him an idiot for being a flat earther and I was blocked within a couple of hours
It was 3:15 AM when I used the Night Sky Crapper. A double flusher no doubt!
Khloe Kardashian blocked me for commenting her real dad's name....even though Kylie Jenner tweeted a pic of Khloe and her real dad and captioned it saying so, but it was immediately deleted.
It's Alex Roldan, Kris Jenners ex hairstylist. Khloes middle name is Alexandra as well. Lamar Odom has also said he's met Alex numerous times.
This is amazing that someone took the time to see who her father is. I can't even remember all of their names
I don't even know who they are ( perks of living in Europe )
Load More Replies...I don’t really follow this stuff so excuse my ignorance. Why is posting about her dad a bad thing? Was the mom cheating on her husband or something?
Mum was married to Rob Kardashian, it's always been a thing that OJ Simpson was her real dad. Guess there's now another person thrown in as a possible. They've always insisted Rob was her real dad. So I guess it would be upsetting celebrity or not to have someone say no this is your dad
Load More Replies...Wow, she must be paying you to stick up for her so much.
Load More Replies...They are celebrities, everyone knows about their business. 😒
Load More Replies...Umm, don't the Kardashians have an empire based on everyone knowing their business? I wish they'd just piss off forever.

Jameela Jamil. She kept apologizing for a past insensitive thing she said about a group of people. After the fourth or fifth time, I said something to the effect of “We get it. You don’t have to keep apologizing.” She said “F*** off” and blocked me.
You don't tell others what to post on their Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/whatever. Don't like it? Unfollow. If she felt the need to apologize then others should butt the crap off.
Load More Replies...Idk, this kind of thing would tell me she isn't actually sorry whatsoever...
As people can apologize as much as they want to, however repetitive, I can’t figure out why you would have wanted to tell her this.
She’s an awful woman. If you don’t gree with her , you’re getting bullied. Vile mouth on her
Devin Sawa! I called him a d*** for making fun of poor people and he made my tweet his cover photo for a little while and then blocked me hahaahahaha
Bro you can't even spell his name, I doubt he gave you the time of day
Bryan Singer. This was when the accusations came out
I commented on an Instagram post "where are all the comments attacking him for being a scumbag"
Someone said he was deleting them all. He then blocked me and made his account private.
He allegedly knowingly slept with underage boys until he feared getting caught, and now, again, allegedly, waits until the literal day they turn 18. That's what I've heard from a documentary (sorry, forget the name of it) and I have no first hand knowledge of the veracity of such claims.
Load More Replies...Goodness he loooks abit like my creepy next door neighbour , who .likes to stare at me, but says nothing.
Mercedes got mad at me when I asked if they could get me a new transmission for my Tiger Tank or build me a V2 rocket.
Well, yeah, no kidding. Companies don't like it when you mention the products of their competitors. The Tiger was manufactured by Henschel und Sohn and the V2 by Heeresversuchsanstalt Peenemünde. You would have had better luck if you asked Bombardier Canada (who now own what's left of Henschel) and NASA (who employed Wernher von Braun)... Now if you wanted a transmission for the Panther or a new engine for your Me-109, I'm sure they could have helped you, because those were Daimler-Benz products :D
Ouch. History is NOT kind to the losers and those who kill princesses in French tunnels
Thought that, too. But Engine+Transmission came from Maybach

I made a comment on a post on "Weird Al" Yankovic's Facebook page (a clip from "White & Nerdy") of him and Donny Osmond, and Osmond liked the comment and (I assume accidentally) friend-requested me. Ironically, I auditioned for his syndicated game show "Pyramid" in 2005 at the Mall of America, and I immediately took the opportunity to remind him of how he got really pi**** off at me for asking for an Orange Julius when I got onstage. He never answered, and unfriended/blocked me instead.
William Shatner. I brought up TekWar.
Well, it's a different person explaining what celebrity blocked him, so, yeah
Load More Replies...BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! It probably didn't help that Tek is a brand of toothbrush. *collapses, sobbing with laughter*
Shatner blocks a lot of people, he's a d*ck with a fragile ego
Dele Alli because I said I didn't like his new haircut
My brother was blocked by Josh Peck on Twitter. Josh posted a weird Chipotle ad he did and my brother commented, “wtf are you doing?”
Bobby Flay ! I tweeted that he looked like Randy from peewees playhouse :/
Most of these people deserve to be blocked. They are harassing celebrities and companies and using them as accessories for their sick entertainments.
Yeah, I scanned a few and decided it was a list of "Arseh0les who harrassed celebrities for their own amusement and got the reaction they deserved." Then skipped to the bottom to see if the other Bored Pandas are as unimpressed by these oxygen thieves' behaviours as I am.
Load More Replies...Pretty much all of these are "I was nasty to someone, they blocked me lol" Why are people so hateful?
I'm blocked by Piers Morgan. As far as I remember I've never tweeted him.
First few were good. Rest were just people recycling insults from 2012 in an attempt to get attention.
Attention whoring. For the most part it's people with their wit dimmers fully on and desperately trying to rub some gold off the skies.
Yeah right!? It's mostly a list of random people blocked by random people.
Load More Replies...Most were kind of rude, but the dedication of the pineapple person is gold.
I was blocked by the celebrity gossip page celebitchy on Twitter because I said Beyoncé was overrated.
Well...no lies detected, in my book as well. Beautiful though.
