Just because you can share every fleeting thought with millions of followers doesn’t mean you should. This advice applies tenfold to celebrities, whose every word is scrutinized, screenshotted, and shared far beyond their original post. The internet is forever, and no “delete” button can truly erase a digital footprint.
Despite extensive media training and well-paid PR teams, even the biggest names in music, movies, sports, and more can’t resist posting something confusing, bizarre, or downright cringeworthy. When these posts are deleted, it only heightens their infamy, turning a fleeting thought into an unforgettable internet moment.
X, formerly known as Twitter, loves this kind of content. Originally designed as a micro-blogging site, it’s long been the go-to platform for odd musings and hot takes. There’s even a running joke among netizens that the phrase “This tweet has been deleted” makes posts exponentially funnier than they were before deletion.
From cryptic messages to impulsive rants, celebrities often learn the hard way that what happens on the internet, stays on the internet—forever. Whether it’s an accidental overshare or a late-night thought better left unsaid, these deleted tweets continue to live on in the form of screenshots and viral memes.
