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.

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.

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

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.
