Daisy Ridley Quits Instagram After Backlash for Anti-Gun Post

Daisy Ridley has deleted her Instagram account.

The 24-year-old Star Wars actress received some backlash from users over an anti-gun violence post she shared earlier in the week.

“Thinking about how lucky I am like……… Serious bit: as I sat in the audience yesterday [Teen Choice Awards] tears were streaming down my face at the tribute to those that have been lost to gun violence,” Daisy wrote (via EW). “I didn’t get a great picture of the incredible group that came onstage but they were so brave. It was a true moment of togetherness. We must ‪#‎stoptheviolence‬.”

Daisy also posted the message on Facebook and has since deleted it as well.
