Insta Creep: Bloggers Unveiled Seems To Have Decided To Call It A Day…
What all the celebs are up to on social, from A to Z listers.
In our gossip column, we indulge our nosiest desires and delve deep into what the celebs (and ‘celebs’) are doing on social media. Who’s tweeting and deleting? Who’s shady faving? Let’s find out.
After months of madness, it seems that the controversial Bloggers Unveiled Instagram account is no more.
If you’re blissfully unaware of Bloggers Unveiled, congratulations – here’s a small recap: The page was started as a way to flag Irish influencers who were Photoshopping pictures, not declaring advertisements, or snapping while driving. It’s racked up a massive 223k followers since January.
There was always a healthy interest in who might be running the account (and several names were thrown in the mix), but recently this took a dark turn when a woman claimed to have been sent a Mass card with ‘RIP x’ written on it by someone who suspected her of being Bloggers Unveiled.
Speaking to The Times, the woman said the Gardaí would be investigating the threats – Bloggers Unveiled, for their part, said it was never their intention for anything like this to happen:
I thought when I started this page that there was something deeply wrong with parts of this industry. This is now confirmed for me. Not only through things this page has highlighted but through the continual, relentless and brutal campaign to find out who I am in order to do god knows what to me. If this campaign to silence proves anything it’s that I’m doing everything right.
Even so, this morning the person behind Bloggers Unveiled said they don’t want to be a part of the account anymore.
Is this the end of an era? The account is still active at the time of writing, so that remains to be seen. Update: The account has now been completely deactivated. Guess that’s it so…

His caption doesn’t offer much by way of explanation, but Drake was among the commenters congratulating him. Though the pregnant woman emoji he tweeted a few days ago says a lot:

Naomi and Skepta have never publicly confirmed their relationship, but they’ve been rumoured to be dating since about 2016. Aw.
