GOSSIP GIRL
I’LL NEVER FORGET THE EXACT MOMENT I HEARD THAT LEONARDO DICAPRIO ALLEGEDLY LIKES TO WEAR HEADPHONES DURING SEX.
It was at a backyard wine bar with a friend and instead of catching up on, you know, what was going on in our own lives, we were in deep conversation about Leo’s bedroom behaviour. She’d seen the rumour on DeuxMoi, an Instagram account that collects and dishes out celebrity gossip from its followers. I stared at her blankly. “Wait,” she said in true shock. “You don’t know about DeuxMoi?”
In the past year, DeuxMoi has cemented its status as a highly addictive social media phenomenon. In 2020, the account was flooded with tips on the supposed reasons Carl Lentz, Justin Bieber’s pastor, left Hillsong church – some speculated infidelity – and it was one of the first to publish the celeb church’s letter addressing his departure. (For the record, DeuxMoi’s followers were right; it was an affair, .) This year, DeuxMoi has been instrumental in exposing the scandal engulfing Armie Hammer, in which a number of women accused him of sending them graphic messages discussing disturbing sexual violence and cannabalism. Screenshots of his alleged messages made their way to DeuxMoi, where more, the romantic comedy in which he was set to star alongside Jennifer Lopez.
