American actress and singer Selena Gomez has lost a million followers on Instagram and 100,000 on X amid the growing ‘No Expectations 2024’ movement.
The move, which has gained traction on social media, aims to hold celebrities accountable for their silence on Israel’s attack on Gaza.
The 2024 Independence List includes Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Alia Bhatt, Zendaya, Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande, Priyanka Chopra and more.
The men, who have millions of followers on social media, have been criticized for their silence on the Palestinian cause, with many accusing them of prioritizing a lavish lifestyle over protesting for justice.
The movement gained momentum after the Met Gala 2024, a prestigious fashion event held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, was attended by many of these celebrities.
Social media users pointed out the hypocrisy of these celebrities who are silent on the plight of the Palestinians and wear expensive and beautiful dresses.
As a result, many of these celebrities have seen a significant drop in their follower numbers, with Selena Gomez picking up on the trend. Dark Movement 2024 is a clear demonstration of the power of social media to hold influential and famous people accountable for their actions and silence.
