(LibertySociety.com) – Hollywood actress Jamie Lee Curtis has deactivated her X (formerly Twitter) account following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, making her the latest high-profile figure to leave the platform. Curtis, a vocal supporter of Kamala Harris during the campaign, shared a screenshot of her deactivated account on Instagram. In the post, she included a poignant caption featuring the Serenity Prayer, a reflection of her personal journey with addiction recovery, which she has often described as her greatest achievement.
“God, grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change. Courage to change things I can. And the wisdom to know the difference,” Curtis wrote. The prayer, central to Alcoholics Anonymous, resonated with her followers as a statement of resilience and introspection. Curtis did not explicitly state her reasons for leaving X, but her departure comes after a series of posts criticizing Trump during the campaign.
Throughout the election season, Curtis used her platform to promote Kamala Harris and advocate for women’s rights and LGBTQ+ issues, warning about what she described as the dangers of a Trump presidency. Following the election results, Curtis referred to Trump’s victory as a harbinger of “tyranny,” reflecting the disappointment felt by many Hollywood figures.
The Halloween actress is not alone in her decision to leave X. Fellow celebrities, including Bette Midler, have also deactivated their accounts. Midler’s exit followed a controversial post in which she suggested her followers drink Drano if Trump won, sparking outrage and leading to her abrupt departure.
The timing of Curtis’s decision highlights growing tensions between Hollywood and Elon Musk, the owner of X. Musk, who endorsed Trump during the campaign, is expected to co-lead the new Department of Government Efficiency under the Trump administration. His role has further fueled concerns in Hollywood about their diminishing influence, particularly as Trump returns to power with a mandate to disrupt the establishment.
Curtis, set to reprise her role in Disney’s upcoming Freaky Friday sequel, remains a prominent voice in Hollywood. Her decision to leave X has been viewed as both a personal protest and a broader reflection of the cultural and political divides deepened by Trump’s victory. While some see her departure as a principled stand, others perceive it as part of Hollywood’s ongoing struggle to adjust to a shifting political landscape.
