Fans Wondered If Suki Waterhouse's Instagram Was A PR Stunt After 40% Of Her Followers Were Revealed To Be Fake

Summary

• Actress and model Suki Waterhouse's popularity has declined in recent years, according to reports.
• Waterhouse's Instagram page was revealed to have the most inactive and fake followers among celebrities.
• Her recent projects, including her music and films, have not received high levels of success or positive reviews.

British actress and former model Suki Waterhouse first rose to fame in the mid-2000s with roles in popular films such as The Divergent Series: Insurgent and starring in fashion campaigns for designers such as Tommy Hilfiger. Many may not know that the talented actress and model is also a musician and released her first hit single, "Brutally," in 2016.

While Waterhouse continues to act and sing, she has become more synonymous with her love life in recent years. A case in point is her upcoming marriage to fiancé, Robert Pattison. Pattinson is arguably the biggest star among the two, so while his popularity is rising, reports have circulated that Suki Waterhouse's popularity is steadily declining.

Suki Waterhouse's Instagram Account Was Exposed For Having Fake Followers

According to a September 2023 report in Ice 360 Blog, actress and former model Suki Waterhouse's Instagram page was revealed to have had the most inactive followers among celebrities who were polled. Also, according to the report, Waterhouse amassed many fake followers on Instagram, with: "40.79% of her 3.6 million followers" showing up as bot accounts.

. While this may sound shocking, many other prominent celebrities, even with a higher status than Suki Waterhouse, have been exposed for having fake followers on social media. For example, according to an August 2021 report in Forbes magazine, among the many influential celebrities exposed as having inflated their following was Kim Kardashian, who was estimated to have 34% of fake Instagram followers.

While having fake followers isn't always indicative of a celebrity's decline in star power or appeal, fans haven't been able to help but notice that Suki Waterhouse's popularity has declined in recent years.

For example, Waterhouse's last feature-length album, "I Can't Let Go," was released in May 2022. According to the website titled Official Charts, which measures musical release popularity, the lead single from Waterhouse's last album, "Good Looking," peaked at #92 for one week on the UK singles chart. In comparison, the album peaked for one week at number #16 on the official UK record store chart.

Suki Waterhouse's last film was the autobiographic movie about famed 20th-century artist Salvador Dalí, titled Dalíland. The film, which co-starred Ben Kinsley as Dali, only made $498,000 worldwide at the box office, according to IMDB (Internet Movie Database), while Rotten Tomatoes rated the film at just 43%.

As for her television work, Waterhouse's last appearance was in 2023 with the Amazon Prime series Daisy Jones & the Sixth, which told the story of a rock band in the 1970s.

While the show received rave reviews and did well in the ratings, Suki Waterhouse's character, Karen Sirko, was not the show's main focal point.

Why Did Suki Waterhouse Quit Modeling, And How Has It Affected Her Popularity?

At 23, Suki Waterhouse quit the modeling industry after being the face of many prominent fashion brands, such as Burberry, and gracing the cover of magazines such as Vogue.

But why did Suki Waterhouse quit her modeling career at the height of her fame?

In a March 2023 interview with The Zoe Report, Suki Waterhouse opened up on her decision to leave the modeling industry:

I felt young but very old and tired from it. Maybe I knew at some point it’s going to come down.

While Waterhouse does, on occasion, promote brands such as Fendi and Tiffany and co. on her Instagram page, she has focused more on her independent music and TV career.

Fans have speculated that Waterhouse has changed the directory of her career to focus on her engagement to boyfriend, actor Robert Pattison.

Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson had been on and off again since 2018, and in November 2023, they announced that they were expecting their first child together, and in December of the same year, they announced their engagement.

Fans Wonder If Suki Waterhouse's Pregnancy Is Hindering Her Ability To Work

While pregnancy is a joyous and complicated time for any mother, Suki Waterhouse has admitted that while she's excited about starting a family, she's suffered a few physical setbacks. In a picture posted on her Instagram story, Waterhouse was seen in the studio recording the single "OMG" off her upcoming 2024 album. In the picture's caption, Suki Waterhouse stated she was sick with a cold.

However, that wasn't the first or last time "The White Princess" star vented about her pregnancy.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight as she walked the red carpet with fiancé Robert Pattinson at the 2024 Emmy Awards, Suki Waterhouse admitted that her baby bump almost caused her to skip the award ceremony.

Waterhouse stated:" I was really excited about this look, Valentino. I tried it on a couple of months ago but it didn't even — like, I had to hold it." The actress later stated: "The fitting was me just holding it to my body, so they had to really take it apart, and they had to redesign this dress to make it fit the bump. But it does and I'm really happy that it worked."

Suki Waterhouse initially revealed that she was pregnant with her first child during a concert performance in Mexico City in November 2023.

According to a source close to Waterhouse and Patterson, in November 2023, they told People Magazine that the couple was: "ready for a child and looking forward to becoming parents. Even though they are both professionals who work a great deal, this is something they want."

The source added, "They know their lives will change, and they are excited."
