While Instagram is known for igniting banhammer gratification, kicking a celebrity off the platform to post about their own show comes as a surprise even to them.

That’s exactly what happened to Florence Pugh, the actress who played Yelena Belova in Disney + holiday themed series Hawk Eye. Pugh recently posted on Instagram that she was blocked from posting about her own appearance on the show because of a complaint.

“Someone here complained so I was blocked from posting pictures of myself on a show I really like… Ridiculous,” Pugh complained.

Pugh was introduced to the Marvel Universe for the first time through the Black Widow, where she appeared as Natasha Romanoff’s younger sister. Fans loved Pugh’s performance, hoping her character would return.

Since then, Pugh has been caught in a spiral of success, with Midsommar and Little woman become an actress the second most popular star of 2021. The 25-year-old was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her work in Little womanand she co-starred with Harry Styles, Chris Pine and Gemma Chan in Don’t worry, honey, Olivia Wilde’s upcoming psychological thriller.

Hopefully Pugh won’t be banned from Instagram for long – especially given the rumors that Pugh’s character will appear in the last two episodes of Hawk Eye.
