Unfortunately for self-acclaimed “enormous, obsessed fan” Liz Arcury, comedian Amy Schumer blocked her on Twitter when Arcury questioned Schumer’s support of Kurt Metzger despite sexual assault allegations brought against him.
“Why do you work with Kurt? He is so anti-women and anti-feminism. It’s really gross. I wish you would fire him. For all of us,” Arcury wrote. The next day, she tweeted confirmation that Schumer blocked her over the critical comments.
Reddit user ChronicApathetic didn’t exactly have strong words to say about makeup guru and former MySpace icon Jeffree Star, but they surely pointed out the flaws in another girl’s argument about racism.
“You can hate black people and still want their money,” he clarified to the girl that argued “since he makes makeup for darker skin tones… he can’t possibly be racist.” We’re not advocating for either side here, but Jeffree Star definitely didn’t appreciate ChronicApathetic’s input.
Twitter user Mike Miller AKA daclown81 recounted his exceedingly odd experience getting blocked by American comedian Gilbert Gottfried.
Gottfried tweeted a joke about Charles Manson, saying, “Is it hot in here, or am I crazy.” We’re not quite sure why Gottfried targeted Miller’s account to block in particular, especially because Miller merely showcased their similar taste in Manson humor. That surely wasn’t the worst reply Gottfried got on that post!
This one is hard to wrap our heads around. Jordan-Risa on Twitter shared in 2018 that Chrissy Teigen blocked her because she said “[Teigen] was wrong about FRIENDS not being funny.”
Does Teigen really hate Friends enough to block those who disagree with her? To be fair, we don’t have evidence on what Jordan-Risa actually said in her reply to Teigen’s controversial opinion on the sitcom, yet she admits that it’s her biggest regret. Lesson learned.
Twitter user @JorgeNSFL shared that they were blocked by Cardi B for questioning her man’s intentions on a Sunday night Chick-fil-a run.
“I told her to go follow him cause they were closed,” Jorge stated, and was subsequently blocked by the singer. Hey, it’s easy to forget that the fast-food chain closes on Sunday!
In other instances, social media users don’t even know what they said to get them blocked by a celeb. Take Jeremiah Baker, who claims Perez Hilton blocked him with no warning.
“I honestly don’t know what I did, but…,” Baker tweeted with a screenshot of the unexpected occurrence. While Baker isn’t sure what he did, we’re not sure if we should say “Congratulations” or “Sorry for your loss.”
Maybe celebrities like Paris Hilton block users like @Niklebaby_ because they don’t even want to figure out what the tweet’s supposed to mean.
Nikle AKA kole said they “told [Hilton] her and her dogs look like they smell the same. i know I’m not wrong.” It’s no secret that Hilton’s rich as can be, so she probably has her pets groomed regularly. What kind of roast is this? Do they smell good or bad? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!

Other times, it all boils down to an unintentional mistake, as Darren (@dxvrc) explains after getting blocked by Ashley Tisdale.
“I tried to tell ashley tisdale that I ‘stan’ her but it auto corrected to stab…..” Ah, yeah. It makes sense she blocked you, Darren, but don’t feel too upset about it, because we know your intentions were true!
It’s entirely possible for someone’s love to become suffocating, which Reddit user karmapilgrim0720 knows too well after spamming Taylor Swift with pictures on Twitter.
“I got blocked by Taylor Swift by tweeting her a picture of me 35 times.” Some commenters questioned why it took exactly 35 pics to get on Swift’s nerves and other’s used her Reputation lyrics as a quip, which somehow makes us feel better about the situation.
We all remember the time when social media was new, exciting, and totally confusing. @malkavlad360 on Reddit, with all of their Twitter innocence, recounted the tale of getting blocked on the site by Canadian actor William Shatner.
“William Shatner was live tweeting an episode of Supernatural and making bad dad jokes. I @ed him and said how happy it made me that [he] Tweeted like a teenage girl in an old mans body.” Immediately blocked!
Inyia’s story (our personal favorite) features the baffling result of consuming an excessive amount of Dr. Phil memes.
“Dr. Phil blocked me on Instagram too because I said I wanted to rip his mustache off and put it on my forehead.” Um, how many other celebs has Inyia targeted them with their wild fantasies?
Writer Laura Packard shared to Twitter that Donald Trump blocked her on the social media app in 2017, an already tumultuous year for the opinion contributor for U.S.News & World Report who developed Stage 4 cancer that year.
“I don't know which of my tweets got under his skin, but the last one I directed at him before being blocked was a response to his sad Emmy tweet. If in fact this was the tweet that got his attention – rather than my constant pleas to save my health insurance and thus my life – it speaks volumes about him as a leader and as a person”
