Sure, paying someone to “handle you socials” is nice and all, but you can do the same thing with the format of your choosing.
Millie doesn’t have social media on her phone. Someone else handles her Instagram and Facebook pages, the only social platforms she hasn’t deleted, and she went to therapy to handle the constant bullying she has faced online. It’s hard to escape the fact that people are obsessed with everything Millie says and does. The actor has been inappropriately sexualized for years, something she’s tried her best to ignore, but the effect of trolling and harassment has been severe. Before she deleted Twitter and TikTok, Millie had been constantly bombarded with hateful messages, angry threats, and even NSFW missives from adult men.
Now Millie only speaks directly to fans via blog posts that read like diary entries on the Florence by Mills website. It works because, as she says, “Nobody can comment.”
NOBODY CAN COMMENT. I love this.
We don’t owe ANYONE a direct line of communication.
Want to make a comment? Eh, go start your own site, or post it on social media for no one to read.
We owe no one a conversation.
