The 65-year-old actress didn't share any specific reason for leaving the Elon Musk -owned platform, but her decision notably comes in the wake of Donald Trump 's victory in the 2024 presidential election.
Trump has already chosen Musk for a role to lead a new "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE), when he takes office in January, and Musk, 53, has been a vocal supporter of the president-elect's bid for the White House.
Curtis now joins a long line of celebrities who have already left the platform , including Elton John, Whoopi Goldberg, Jim Carrey, Gigi Hadid, Toni Braxton, Shonda Rhimes, and many more who deactivated their accounts following Musk's takeover in 2022.
Most recently, X lost members like Curtis, Don Lemonand even The Guardian , in light of the election results.
The Guardian put out a statement on Wednesday to slam the Tesla owner for allowing "disturbing content" on the platform and using it as a way to "shape political discourse."
"This is something we have been considering for a while given the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories and racism," the publication said in a statement posted to its website. "The U.S. presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse."
