Saw a celeb try to delete a tweet by posting a screenshot of it

I was scrolling through my feed the other night and saw some D-list reality star try to apologize for a dumb tweet. Instead of just deleting it, she posted a screenshot of the tweet with a caption saying she was taking it down. It just made the whole thing worse because now everyone saw the screenshot and started dragging her more. Remember when people used to just quietly delete stuff and move on? Has anyone else noticed this weird trend where celebs double down on their own mistakes by accident?

Read a psychology blog about this once. It's called the Streisand Effect in action.

More people should know about that one.
