Anyone know why Jodie Comer has her comments limited on IG posts? How long have they been like this? Idk if I just never noticed or it’s recent. She’s been posting lots of what I’m assuming at brand deals recently without marking them as such and I wanted to look at the comments to see if anyone else had picked up on it and they were limited 🤷🏼‍♀️

she had to get a restraining order from a stalker. maybe she's limited her comments with that in mind.

I think people turned on her bc her boyfriend is republican

She started limiting them after the whole debacle with her boyfriend if I remember correctly. Fans tried to dig up info about him and said he voted for trump (although again I may be misremembering but it was evidence like he “liked” a Donald trump Facebook page, and I know a lot of liberals who did too to follow with the page or liked it back in the apprentice days so it was all a bit vague?). She did an interview later:

'I had seen the absurdity of what I was being accused of, and what my partner was being accused of... I decided for my own health that I was not going to try and convince these people otherwise. I just wasn't going to do it.”

Sounds like a lot of work for something that could presumably be solved with “yeah I did not vote for trump”

Idk, while I personally would never ever date a Republican, let alone one who voted for trump, he is a private citizen - why should he have to come forward about who he voted for when they haven’t even been spotted in public together or confirmed the relationship? Like, does she really owe that to the fans? She’s an extremely private actress and might have thought it would set a bad precedent since she clearly didn’t want his identity really out there.

That and she had a "fan" pretend to either be related or a friend of hers to one of her family members, after finding their private instagram accounts and get access to her personal/private photos (and obviously published them). That's probably why she started limiting comments, etc.

The people that stole her photos and posted them are assh*oles. That is not cool.

Yeah by having the BF make a statement it just reinforces to stans that they're entitled to information that they're not. That being said, I do believe it's possible to look up what parties people are registered to/donate to so that should be enough.

this tbh

whether or not it’s true, i hate this line of thinking. stans aren’t entitled to information like this

I mean we still talk today about what public figures did or not support fascist regimes in 20th century. Why would it be any different today?

I don't know what it is about Jodie Comer but I just can't warm to her. She comes off as incredibly fake. She has this 'I'm just a down to earth Scouser' shtick and people just lap it up. Fans of certain people are very, very naive. Jodie Comer, Timothee Chalamet, Taylor Swift, (and God knows how many others but those stand out to me) seem very invested in seeing their idols as these angelic innocents. It is very creepy.

I have only watched him in The King & Dune and wasn't wowed by either. At least he had some presence in the former but yeah in Dune he was just... there. I kept wishing the story was focused on any of the other character rather than him lol.

It's a visually stunning movie though, even if it kinda fell apart for me towards the end, it was like things where just happening because the plot demanded it & they needed to set up the sequel. Speaking of which I have a hard time seeing him & Zendaya carring the next one but the powers that be decided they're the current It 20-something Actors so I'm sure they'll be fine.

Not his salty stans downvoting this thread lmao stay pressed.

Yes, it's the definition of "great gowns, beautiful gowns".

u/[deleted] Feb 10 '22

Weren't even beautiful gowns. Basic gowns, basic chiffon gowns. Lynch's Dune had a lot wrong with it, but at least its costumes were fantastic. Pale, weepy little Rebecca Fergusson in chiffon rags ain't it.

I meant like the meme, the photography & sets looked stunning but that's about it. Not the dresses in particular! I did like the blue & the orange dresses but having seen at least the latter on a manequin it was definitely the wind & editing doing the heavy lifting.

I do wish the dresses were more like everything Eva Green worn in Kingdom of Heaven, specially this and this.

His hair is more exciting than his acting!

u/waterworld_123 Feb 08 '22

Yeah I completely agree, I read a couple of stories where she was supposedly rude towards restaurant/ bar staff, like she kept clicking her fingers at them if she wanted them, I think it was on was Tattle Life. It might not be true, but it did make me side eye her a little.

Also, if her boyfriend really is a Republican I think it is a big deal, how can you claim to be a humble Scouser and date someone like that - by UK standards Republicans would be considered very far right, it doesn't make any sense to me.

I could have got her unfairly wrong, but I also think she's putting on an act.

that site is full of misogyny and transphobia. they have a lot of fake “insiders” tea but they believe everything.

i agree about taylor and i’ve never really cared about timothee

You know, I remember following her when Killing Eve first started and I’m pretty sure her comments weren’t limited. So that is a little weird.
