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.
Joel Osteen. I posted in his facebook that he was the best stand up comedian of our generation.
Not a celebrity, but I got blocked by PETA for asking why they euthanise healthy animals.
Caitlyn jenner for reminding her of the millions she spent on anti LGBT politicians
Trump. I sent him a Barack Obama virtual birthday card.
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.
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.
Not a celebrity but Ford blocked me on Twitter cuz I kept asking them to bring the crown Victoria back
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.
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
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
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"
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.
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?
Load More Replies... 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.
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 :(
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
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
I remember someone saying they got blocked by Hulk Hogan for telling him he doesn't need to sign his tweets off with HH.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Load More Replies...I was on the other end of this, I admit. I manage the company's official communities for my assigned games and region. I tend to be brutally tolerant, and I hardly ever ban our fans, even if some would really deserve it. However, in my 4+ years of career, I did ban a small number of individuals who really crossed the line. The 1st ban, the "honour" was given to a user who not only deliberately insulted everyone in the community and us, but he used, to put it simple, very VERY politically incorrect terms, and I am not an overly sensitive person about this, but THAT was too much and too often. Then there was someone who basically kept harassing me through private messages, without realising it was harassment. When his horrible insult (and I repeat, I'm pretty tolerant myself, but enough is enough) arrived in my inbox, he gave me an explicit reason to ban him.
Yes you got blocked because most of you were assholes to the person. Who comments 'pineapple' so many times on someones instragram anyway? Be a little bit more kind - it's easy and totally free.

I got blocked by Sinead O'Conner soon after she converted to Islam. I'm Muslim too and Sinead was saying some things that aren't very Islamic but she was new so she didn't know. However some Muslims can be extremely judgmental and nasty when someone does something that they perceive to be a sin. There was one girl who was very aggressive and nasty due to the mistakes Sinead was making and I called her out on her attitude because it was just going to make Sinead feel bad. I also told Sinead that I knew people who could help her but Sinead got mad at me and said I was ordering her around and she blocked me.
That writer of that show ginny and Georgia I think....blocked me without any reason....just cause I had a fan account and not even a taylor fan account lol...she went mad and blocked like thousands of random accounts because taylor called her out and she got attacked
