Jamie Lee Curtis, Oscar-winning actress and outspoken advocate, recently announced her departure from X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. Following the 2024 U.S. presidential election, which saw Donald Trump elected, Curtis decided to leave X, expressing disillusionment with the current political climate.
On November 13, Curtis took to Instagram to announce her decision, sharing a reflective message with her followers. She posted the popular serenity prayer, “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,” signaling her feelings about the polarized political environment.
Curtis, a longtime activist and mother of a transgender daughter, has been vocal about her political views on X. She used the platform as a means to advocate for social causes, particularly on issues related to the LGBTQ+ community. However, recent political developments and changes in X’s environment since Elon Musk’s acquisition appear to have influenced her decision to exit the platform.
Her departure adds to the growing list of public figures and influencers, including former CNN anchor Don Lemon, who have distanced themselves from X due to shifting policies and the rise of contentious discourse. The ongoing evolution of the platform, particularly Musk’s influence and new terms of service, has stirred debate about freedom of expression and accountability on social media.
While Curtis has not indicated plans to return, she continues to engage with fans on Instagram, where she advocates for acceptance and positivity in a challenging political landscape. Her exit from X is seen as a stance against divisiveness, encouraging others to seek harmony in ways beyond social media.
