During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Olivia Rodrigo shared a hilarious yet relatable story about her social media mishap involving her ex-boyfriend. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter confessed to accidentally following her ex on Instagram while indulging in some harmless “stalking.”
Rodrigo candidly admitted that she usually refrains from following anyone on Instagram to minimize phone usage. However, her attempt to discreetly check up on her ex took an unexpected turn when she mistakenly hit the follow button, making her “stalking” endeavor blatantly obvious.
The embarrassing situation escalated when Rodrigo’s phone suddenly died, leaving her unable to undo the unintentional follow. As panic ensued, her friend intervened, urging her to unfollow her ex before the situation became even more awkward. Unfortunately, without a charger at hand, Rodrigo found herself unintentionally following her ex for an extended period, leading to speculations of a hacking incident among her followers.
To prevent a repeat of the awkward encounter, Rodrigo revealed that she has since created a Finsta, a private Instagram account, to discreetly observe social media activity without the risk of similar mishaps. The incident serves as a humorous reminder of the perils of navigating social media, particularly when it comes to navigating past relationships.
Despite the embarrassing moment, Rodrigo’s candidness and relatable story resonated with fans, further endearing her as a down-to-earth celebrity navigating the trials and tribulations of everyday life, even in the realm of social media.
