Elyse Myers, the beloved TikTok sensation known for her witty storytelling and relatable content, has recently taken a break from social media, leaving her millions of fans puzzled and concerned. Myers rose to fame in October 2021 with her viral “worst date ever” story, quickly amassing a following of over 7 million followers on TikTok.
However, in recent months, Myers has been facing personal challenges, particularly concerning her son, Oliver, who was born with a severe heart condition requiring surgery. Despite the emotional turmoil, Myers continued to share her journey with her followers, offering insights into the medical appointments and the impending surgery.
Unfortunately, Myers found herself caught in a social media storm when she became a target of “Operation Watermelon,” a movement urging influencers to speak out about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While the intention was to raise awareness about the ongoing conflict, the initiative quickly turned into harassment for Myers, with her social media accounts inundated with demands for her to take a public stance.
The combination of personal stress and online pressure led Myers to make the difficult decision to take a break from TikTok and Instagram. In March 2024, she deleted all her posts and updated her bios to indicate her hiatus from these platforms. While she continues to post on YouTube, her absence from TikTok and Instagram has been keenly felt by her community of followers.
As of now, Myers has not provided a timeline for her return to TikTok or Instagram, as her priority remains supporting her son through his recovery. Whether she decides to resume her social media presence or not, Myers’ impact on her followers and the TikTok community remains significant. In the meantime, her fans can continue to support her through her YouTube channel and revisit her past content.
