Gabrielle Union has announced her departure from X (formerly Twitter), citing growing concerns over misinformation and recent platform changes. In a heartfelt post, Union explained that she could no longer support the platform’s direction due to alterations in its terms of service and the return of controversial figures. “It’s been real!” she wrote, adding that sometimes one must recognize when enough is enough.
Union expressed disappointment that platforms like X, which were originally created for authentic connections, creative expression, and respect for privacy, had shifted away from these values. She pointed out that the changes were making her uncomfortable, particularly as the platform became more welcoming to volatile figures. For Union, this marked a pivotal moment where she had to step away to focus on spaces that prioritize inclusivity, respect, and integrity.
Though leaving X, Union made it clear she wasn’t disappearing entirely. She reassured fans that they could still connect with her on Instagram, Threads, TikTok, BlueSky, Spill, and Facebook, where she intends to continue spreading positive energy and meaningful connections.
Union’s exit follows a trend, with other public figures like Don Lemon and Joy Reid also leaving the platform, joining a growing list of personalities distancing themselves from X due to similar concerns.
