The Quiet Disappearing of CELEBRITIES

Not long ago, celebrities were everywhere.

- By Dewmi Dodhani

On our television screens, magazine covers, interviews, award shows, social media feeds, there was no escape. Fame was loud, constant, and unavoidable. If someone became popular, we watched every step of their life unfold in real time. But lately, something feels different. Celebrities are disappearing not with scandals, farewell posts, or dramatic exits but quietly.There’s no announcement. No explanation. One day they're trending, the next they're just... gone.

This isn’t about careers ending overnight or public cancellations. It’s about a growing pattern where famous people slowly pull back from the spotlight. They stop posting. They skip interviews. They turn down public appearances. Their social media accounts become inactive, or strangely minimal. And instead of demanding answers, the world simply moves on. Fame itself has changed.

In the past, visibility was power. The more people saw you, the more relevant you were. Today, constant visibility comes with a cost. Social media has erased boundaries between public and private life. Every outfit, opinion, relationship, and mistake become content for judgment. Celebrities are no longer admired from a distance they're watched closely, analyzed endlessly, and criticized relentlessly. The pressure is exhausting.
