Sarah Michelle Gellar on Instagram and Why She Hasn’t Tweeted in Years – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Chrissy Teigen might be the mayor of Twitter but dont expect Sarah Michelle Gellar to share her thoughts on the social media platform anytime soon. The former star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer much prefers Instagram.

She may have played a vampire slayer but Gellar slays Instagram. The 43-year-old regularly posts to her Instagram feed, giving her 3.2 million followers a glimpse at her life.

Her throwback photos feature glimpses of past acting gigs such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Cruel Intentions.

And, of course, her husband and fellow actor, Freddie Prinze Jr., makes the occasional appearance. Gellars close friend and Cruel Intentions co-star, Selma Blair, also gets a shoutout from time to time.

Speaking with The Oprah Magazine in October 2019, Gellar offered up her take on Instagram.

I think whats nice is being able to dictate my narrative, Gellar said of the social media platform. No one tells my story now but me and Im in control of that.

She continued, saying she can connect with fans on Instagram while maintaining a life that is separate.

Never before was that option open to people like me and I can give enough so people feel like theyre seeing what my life actually is really like, whether its my home life, my work life, my friends, Gellar said.

But Im still able to go home at night and have a life that is separate from all of that. And it allows me to have that duality that I need to be able to function.

Prinze Jr. and Gellar are parents to two children. Their now-10-year-old Charlotte Grace Prinze joined the family in 2009. A son, Rocky James Prinze, 7, followed in 2012.

According to her Twitter profile, Gellar joined the social media platform in October 2013. However, she hasnt tweeted since November 2017. Told by an interviewer that fans really want her to start tweeting again, Gellar says not to expect it anytime soon.

I know that Im at a point in my life right now where I cant dedicate the time that it actually needs because as you know I do it all myself, Gellar said. And Twitter takes a lot.

She continued, saying Twitter became very overwhelming at one point

I wouldnt want to answer one person and not the other and it just became very overwhelming to me, she said.

Gellar fans, dont lose hope on a Twitter resurrection just yet.

That being said, it doesnt mean that there isnt a time in the future when it could happen, Gellar said, noting that she hasnt deactivated her Twitter.

As of publication, Gellars still sticking to Instagram.
