A proud mother sometimes has the opposite effect on social media. And actress Emma Roberts can speak at length about that, who came to block Kelly Cunningham precisely because of that, because she did not stop leaking information about her private life.
It all started last summer, when the 29-year-old interpreter famous for her roles in films like We are the Miller or series like Scream Queens or American Horror Story decided to make it known that she and her partner, also actor Garrett Hedlund ( Tron: Legacy or Jack Kerouac’s adaptation of On the Road ), they were expecting their first child.
He did it on Instagram, where he has more than 14 million followers, accompanying a photograph taken during his baby shower , also giving other information: it will be a boy. It was the only way to give something new after his mother’s indiscretion.
Because Kelly had already reported her daughter’s pregnancy (along with fellow actor Eric Roberts) responding to the comments of the actress’s fans, who began to congratulate her in her posts on said social network without her having confirmed the good news. .
“I wanted to keep my pregnancy private, but unfortunately my mother has her own Instagram. And moms and Instagram … are a bad combination . It was very indiscreet, of course,” said the niece of Julia Roberts , who came as guest on Jimmy Kimmel’s show.
Emma, who may regret having given her mother an iPhone three years ago, discovered that Kelly had created an alert on Google to be aware of all the information that came to light about her daughter and ask her if such or which were true. His impressions soon made his newly created social networks increase in number of followers .
“She likes interacting with fans and obviously thanked them for all the congratulatory messages on my pregnancy. It was a disaster, and I found out while I was on a flight, so I couldn’t get in touch with her in any way to ask her. to stop … or to kill her, “joked the actress.
“And on top of that, when I told him that I had leaked my pregnancy, he replied: ‘But you had announced it.’ And I had to explain to him that this was a publication of a medium and he told me that it was not his fault because it was not clear “Emma Roberts recalled.
It was then that the interpreter decided to take the bull by the horns and start a battle on social networks with her mother, blocking her temporarily … until the inevitable happened: her mother did realize that she could not see the images that her own uploaded daughter.
“We have laughed a lot about it, but it is also true that we fought and that I ended up blocking it because it was the only weapon within my reach,” said Emma, who clarified that Kelly sent her a message at 2 in the morning to ask her why could not enter your profile. “At least it’s a good story to tell the baby,” she added with a laugh.
