6 Instagram Accounts To Follow Now That Celeb Spellcheck Is Officially Donezo
Celeb Spellcheck was one of those accounts that arrived at the perfect time last year, when many of us were glued to Instagram in lockdown and reaching our boiling point with influencers getting away with doing the bare minimum.
The anonymous account, initially dedicated to mocking influencer’s misspellings, had nothing short of a meteoritic rise, shooting up from 13k followers in 2019 to 160k in 2021. It seemingly appeared out of nowhere and suddenly was the account everyone (well, everyone in my inner circle) was following in 2020.
Due to the nature of the posts, Celeb Spellcheck was not particularly popular among influencers, with several calling the page out for “bullying”. This argument has merit but, at the same time, there’s something intensely satisfying about pointing out a petty spelling error in an influencer’s post that probably paid more than my month’s rent.
Influencers can be seen as representing a particular unearned kind of privilege, so it can be frustrating to see how flippant they can be posting without proofing their captions, or posting something that blatantly contradicts the brand they’ve built their following around. Celeb Spellcheck would also call out influencers for not actually opening or trying the products that they’re promoting — which is literally their one job.
Amid constant allegations of bullying and pushback from influencers, Celeb Spellcheck shut down earlier this year. It returned temporarily before this past week revealing the account would be no more. Despite amassing a following of thousands, Celeb Spellcheck officially dropped the mic, posting that the “time has come to say goodbye” before wiping the whole page.
Check out Celeb Spellcheck’s goodbye message below:
It was a shock to the page’s followers, with many (me, included) left wondering where we would now get our petty gossip from?! But thankfully, Instagram has loads of pages dedicated to calling out influencers and celebrities, and here are six of the best.
6 Instagram accounts to follow now that Celeb Spellcheck is officially donezo:
1. @overinfluencers
This Australian-focused page reposts images and captions from influencers that are nonsensical, often hypocritical, or contradict their previous stances, along with shining a light on the influencers who they admire.
2. @aussieinfluenceropinions
Similar to the above account, as the name suggests @aussieinfluenceropinions is all about Australian influencers. Already boasting a following of over 19k, this Instagram page looks set to fill the rather large shoes of Celeb Spellcheck — so get on it ASAP.
3. @appropriationau
If you’re constantly infuriated by the cultural appropriation and racial insensitivity that influencers and brands are often guilty of, then this Instagram account is made for you. Dedicated to calling out some straight-up gross and tone-deaf posts, we expect this page is only going to grow as celebrities continue to be the absolute worst.

4. @sodramaticpodcast_
When it comes to petty Aussie reality TV drama, nothing quite compares to the wealth of knowledge of So Dramatic! podcast host Megan Pustetto. While the podcast is always filled with juicy goss, the Instagram page is where a lot of the photographic evidence is dropped, so obviously it’s a compulsory follow for anyone obsessed with all things MAFS, The Bachelor, and everything in between.
