Another Hollywood Actress Deletes X Account Following Trump’s Win

Published

on

Hollywood actress Alyssa Milano has become the latest rabid anti-Trump figure to delete her X/Twitter account after the president-elect’s crushing election win over Vice President Kamala Harris earlier this month.

Since Trump’s initial election win in 2017, Milano was a frequent participant in anti-Trump discourse on the platform. She used her account to amplify the bogus Russian collusion hoax, the debunked claim that Trump called veterans “suckers and losers,” and participated in the smear campaign against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, among several additional hoaxes and smears.

Like many left-wing personalities, Milano has frequently complained about the platform after it was taken over by Elon Musk, who unbanned thousands of accounts that were unjustly banned under the previous regime. The actress — who reached the peak of her fame in the 1990’s — previously declared that she sold her Tesla due to “hate and white supremacy.”

As of Sunday evening, Milano appears to have had enough of X, as her account appears as inactive.

X users are given a certain number of days before their account is permanently deleted, meaning that a return is possible. If Milano opts to flee the platform for good, she will be joining a number of left-wing public figures and pundits who have done the same since Trump’s election win.

Earlier this month, fellow actress and fierce anti-Trump partisan Bette Midler deleted her X account as well. Like Milano, Middler fired off thousands of anti-Trump posts a year before joking that she would commit suicide if Trump defeated Harris. A few days after the election, her account went dark and she has yet to return.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid and senior Harris Campaign advisor David Plouffe are among other prominent Democrats who have fled the platform in recent weeks.

Liberal personalities have instead been setting up accounts with Bluesky, a Twitter/X clone that is almost exclusively trafficked by left-wing users. The platform employs a number of former Twitter employees and boasts about employing the same censorship policies employed under former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

During an appearance on MSNBC over the weekend, Bluesky COO Rose Wang stated that the platform is committed to cutting down on “disinformation, misinformation” and “propaganda” through the use of lockdown moderation and less reliance on algorithms.


“I think, first of all, there’s so many women on social media platforms and most of these platforms are run by men. Bluesky is run by two women, me as the COO and Jay Graber, who’s the CEO,” Wang said in response to a question about content moderation.

“And I think fundamentally, one of the biggest differences is we’ve just put safety as apriority. And what does that look like? It means last year when we had invite codes, we didn’t open it up because we wanted to have a stronger moderation team. And we brought over Aaron Rodericks, who used to be the head of election integrity at Twitter under Jack, to Bluesky to lead trust and safety here at Bluesky,” she continued.
