Billie Hoe Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 So, the account "billiejoearmstrong" is no longer on Instagram as of today. He posted the picture of Dr. Ford's cover on Time magazine with #ibelieveher, and now he and all of his posts are gone. What do you think happened there? The longshot account is still there. Did Billie simply grow tired of Instagram and seeing people posting hateful shit in the comments (which he knows how to turn off) or did he get hacked? He can't have accidentally pressed a button, because you need to open a site on your browser and confirm your deactivation. Did anyone see him reacting to the comments on his latest post? Jeff Matika jumped to his aid in the comments on the Presidential Alert post to, in his words, "take the heat", so maybe he has discussed being fed up with the toxicity of Instagram with his friends? Some people can still find him in the search results but that seems to be a glitch, as his page is missing followers, bio or post-count, etc. depending on who views it. This might not be thread worthy but this site is pretty dead otherwise so, whatever. I'm curious about what happend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_real_st_jimmy Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Thinking it has something to do with the trolls who leave comments on his political posts... i hope its just temporary and he is just taking a break from insta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trolls have been brutal to him the last couple of posts. Jeff even posted on his “presidential alert ” to take the heat off of Billie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see his profile but only his follower count 1,9 million, his photo and his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squashie Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Because of this, I think he just suspended it and didn’t actually delete it, so if he comes back he can still have his name & verification. That’s my hope anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish there was a way he could just block those type of people instead Funny you should say it, there actually is a way. He can turn off comments on his post, he can delete certain comments under his own posts, and he can block people. Maybe he forgot to turn off comments and was surprised and disgusted to see the hateful people sharing their irritating input, so he decided he's had enough. I do wish he would explain what happened. Or someone. Honestly, I will be the first to congratulate him if deleting his Instagram is what makes him happy, if sharing his opinions on this platform has brought him mostly misery and he's tired of dealing with it and feels relieved that he doesn't have to burden himself with it anymore. I must say though I think it's unfortunate that all of these people who have commented nasty shit on his page, who have told him to "shut up and stick to music" and all the right trolls will go to bed with a smile on their faces, feeling like their actions have had an impact on him and caused him to remove himself from the situation. (And if it really did, I would never hold it past him, the sheer amount of hate he must be seeing in his notifications must have been off the charts and can drain you.) I wish he would continue posting about what he believes in, even if it meant turning off comments for everything. Because there are so many people who appreciate his outspokenness and who write positive messages but simply get drowned out because trolls know how to organize and push certain comments to the top.

Squashie Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 @Billie Hoe this! I, too, feel like the trolls/assholes got their wish and that makes me upset. I know he interacted with people on it, but maybe turning off commenting for all posts is what celebrities will have to start doing. That’s the sad effect of social media. Very few people can have a calm, educated argument these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillenniumFan Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I hope he hasn't deleted his account, as its presence has overall promoted a whole lot more good than bad, even in terms of comments. That being said, if he feels it's the only real way to truly regulate the hate-comments, then I of course respect that decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
