51 Celebrity Social Media Fails That The Internet Will Never, Ever Let Go Of
Fame used to come with a slight degree of insulation. A bad decision stayed between you, your publicist, and whoever was in the room. Then celebrities got smartphones, discovered they could talk directly to their fans without any filtering whatsoever, and the results have been spectacularly catastrophic time and time again.
The publicist exists for a reason. The reason is that famous people, left entirely to their own devices and a WiFi connection, will post things that no amount of reputation management can fully recover from. Tone-deaf statements, accidental confessions, ill-timed jokes, and the occasional complete personality reveal that nobody asked for or can unsee. The internet screenshotted all of it, and it has been waiting patiently to remind everyone, and here are the worst of them for your pure enjoyment.

Blake Lively And Ryan Reynolds Shared Almost The Same Photo, But Blake Edited Shoes Onto Her Bare Feet In Her Version
Elladine DesIsles 6 hours ago
Why were her bare feet positioned as if there were shoes supporting them? I could see, maybe, trying to look taller (though she is 5'10/1.77m on her own), but when I stand on tiptoe, my feet and ankles are not that relaxed. It looks more as though shoes (maybe different shoes?) were edited out of the left-hand image.
