An Instagram Page Named “Overheard Celebs” Garnered a Following After Posting Wholesome Celebrity Interactions
Celebrities are just like us; sometimes they’re even funnier.
There are many mediums that aim to reveal every nitty-gritty detail about celebrities. Day after day, you’ll see tabloids filled with rumors screaming in capital letters.
You hear entertainment news discussing who’s dating whom and who’s the next up-and-coming star. Then there are social media platforms where cancel culture is prevalent, and it only takes one bad story for celebrities to lose a significant following.
Some gossip might be true, and it could potentially ruin someone’s reputation, but sometimes the benefit of the doubt you give them pays off. There’s a new Instagram account dedicated to showcasing a more wholesome side of celebrities.
Overheard Celebs is an account that has garnered a fairly large following for being a self-described “anti-gossip journal.” The objective of the account is to share stories that people submit about their encounters with celebrities.
Unlike typical tabloids, Overheard Celebs doesn’t run their page to put down celebrities. Instead, posts are often funny, inspiring, and wholesome.
Initially, the account launched with its first post about Bill Murray, and within a couple of months, people began submitting more stories. Now, they’ve got posts about Hollywood A-listers and much more.
