Left-wing Hollywood actor Alyssa Milano has deactivated her X/Twitter account, becoming the latest outspoken liberal to flee the platform after President-elect Trump's shocking re-election.
The Charmed actress was a notable critic of Trump during his first term, but his comeback is apparently something she can't handle.
A message on her former X page says that her account no longer exists, while her podcast Sorry Not Sorry urges users to follow her on BlueSky, touted as a liberal-friendly X alternative.
Milano is just the latest liberal celebrity to flee X, which is owned by Trump ally Elon Musk - with others including director Rob Reiner, author Stephen King, and Star Wars actor Mark Hamill.
The exodus is part of a broader trend of demoralization, as liberal journalists describe themselves as "exhausted" by Trump and the former #Resistance galvanized by his first term appears to splinter.
During Trump's first term, Milano expressed many of the same banal, hateful sentiments as other Hollywood liberals - comparing Trump supporters to members of the KKK and calling for Republicans to be "tried for treason" during the COVID pandemic. She was a prominent part of the Brett Kavanaugh circus, embracing Christine Blasey Ford in "solidarity."
After Musk's controversial takeover of X, Milano pledged to stay on the platform as Musk's critics accused him of emboldening "hate" and "disinformation" by prioritizing freedom of speech.
At the time, Milano claimed Musk was turning X into a platform for "white supremacy" as she boasted about selling her Tesla.
But after Trump's resounding re-election victory, Milano has had a change of heart - with her apparent capitulation drawing mockery from critics.
"Alyssa Milano is the latest celebrity not able to handle social media," one person wrote.
"After saying she'd never leave because 'surrendering is pathetic', guess she had a change of heart," another wrote.
While numerous celebrities have turned to BlueSky, director Rob Reiner complained that "MAGA scum" have already "ruined" the X alternative. Reiner shared he was checking into a "facility" to find peace.
"This platform is vile, racist and evil,” Reiner wrote on BlueSky. “It did not take long for MAGA scum to come spread their lies.”
“I have made the decision to take the next few days to check into a facility for peace and relaxation,” he added. “No phones, social media , no trolls, just calmness to heal my pain.”
