Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed how Emily in Paris completely changed Lily Collins? 💔

I watched the show only because of her. But honestly, I get a lot of crap for how I feel about it. I’ve been a fan for a long time,(2018) and lately, it feels like Lily isn’t the same person anymore—at least not the artist so many of us connected with.

Her vibe, her style… it’s changed. She now comes across more like a Gen Z Instagram influencer than the soulful, individual, authentic woman we admired. I was scrolling through her Instagram yesterday, and the difference hit me hard. It’s gone from raw, heartfelt, creative posts to mostly curated promo content.

Yes, people grow and evolve—but this feels like a complete shift in identity. She used to post inspiring messages, share vulnerable parts of her life, even published a beautiful, honest book—not for promotion, but to connect. She felt more than just an actress—she was an *artist*. Especially for young women. I remember thinking she'd become an activist someday. Remember when we were called *Lilyians*, *Lilybians* ?

* Why is every Lily Collins fan page i checked out on Instagram haven't posted in years? What a strange (or is it just me lol) coincidence i checked out like 100 pages.

° this is what ChatGPT said,

"It’s not just you — that’s actually something many longtime fans have noticed.

Here are a few possible reasons why so many Lily Collins fan pages have gone inactive:

1. *She’s not very active outside *Emily in Paris**: Her career used to be more diverse — films, books, fashion shoots, etc. Now that she’s mostly focused on *Emily in Paris*, and rarely does projects outside it (especially without her husband involved), some fans feel disconnected or bored.

2. *Fanbase shift*: Older fans (from her *Mirror Mirror*, *Love, Rosie*, or book-writing era) were more passionate and engaged. Many of them outgrew the *Emily in Paris* content or lost interest when her artistic direction changed.

3. *Instagram burnout*: Running fan accounts is time-consuming, especially when there’s not much new or exciting content to post. If there's no interaction or reward, people drop off.

4. *Less personal interaction*: Lily used to be very fan-connected, but now she posts mostly brand tie-ins, husband’s projects, or *EIP* promotion. That shift makes fans feel like they’re just being sold to.

5. *Emily in Paris isn't a cult favorite*: Unlike shows with deep lore or passionate discourse, *EIP* is light entertainment — it doesn’t fuel long-term fandom energy."

coming out as an Emily in Paris defender!!

Unlike a lot of shows they’ve done a lot to fix their mistakes. Emily actually has had a pretty great arc. Mindy and Sylvie have gotten fleshed out as time has gone on. Emily’s outfits are getting better. The romance writing is improving.

And it’s FUN!!!!!!!

That shallow, insufferable show completely took away the ethereal, mystic, angelic aura she had in her earlier years. It turned her into a generic Instagram influencer. It’s changed her personality too—she’s no longer the Lily we used to know.

I can only describe the show’s success in terms of viewership as _failing upwards_. It’s not even hate-watchable. I forced myself to get through the first season because I’m a fan of hers, but trust me—I barely made it. I gave the other seasons a shot, only to experience how truly bad it is: poor writing, shallow characters, class blindness, unrealistic plots, offensive jokes, and a distorted portrayal of culture and romance. It’s the worst show ever.

Every season is the same story in different outfits, with Emily bouncing back and forth in romantic drama. That’s the only thing keeping viewers hooked. Not even Lily can make that mess of a character likable. It’s a show for people who crave love drama and want something to half-watch while multitasking, because it has no real plot.

I don’t understand why she chose the role—and worse, why she keeps doing it. I wholeheartedly hope there won’t be a season six. I wish a wise director (ironically, her husband is a director with a rotten reputation himself) would offer her an interesting role so she could break free, step out of her husband’s shadow, touch some grass, and return to real films again. She could be so much more. It’s frustrating how she’s now just “for _EIP_.”

I’m also genuinely concerned about her health. If you compare her appearance from Season 1 to Season 4, she’s become noticeably thinner with each installment, like she followed her own show's advice (smoking without meals,in the show Emily is mocked for feeling hungry and asking coworkers for going out for meals like Silvy says she'll smoke instead )

Her reputation was better, she was better, and her work was far more compelling before _EIP_ completely consumed her.

What do you not like about Halsey and Lily Collins? I honestly agree with you lol, but I was curious about your reasonings

They’re both reallyyy bad actors. Well halsey isn’t even an actor and lily only has a career because of nepotism. Both of their accents in maxxine were tragic 😭

[nobodyschild0]

I haven't watched maxxine but she's not "a bad actor" obviously compared to Halsey, her performances in extremely wicked shockingly evil and vile & to the bone was great imo.

[bloodclotbitch]

Omg…you’re such a weirdo

[nobodyschild0]

Excuse me but ur profile pic speaks for urself lol

Unpopular opinion: I really love this movie so much and think they deserved a second one, the chemistry between Lily Collins and Jamie Bower was unmatched

[nobodyschild0]

And she needs to break free from EIP & return to real projects!

[hoochy-coo]

I'm sorry but lily collins can't fucking act and she buried any chance by reprising Emily in season 2 she should have left the project

Emily in Paris is gonna ruin her career in the long term, I’m afraid

[nobodyschild0]

It's not her acting, someone as likeable as Lily can't fix that mess of a character, but yes she should've left it for good.

[hoochy-coo]

Is it me or did Emily in Paris ruin lily collins mystique? I can’t see past her character on ig and had to unfollow, similar to how fifty shades movies kinda made Dakota unlikable and boring to a lot of people. But now everyone is obsessed without seeing much of her movies

And now she’s an exec producer as well 😬

*Hell yes, I agree!* That shallow, insufferable clown show show completely stole and ruined the ethereal, mystic, angelic aura she had in her earlier years. It turned her into a generic Instagram influencer. It’s changed her personality too—she’s no longer the Lily we used to know.

I don’t understand why she chose the role—and worse, why she keeps doing it.is it money? sad. I wholeheartedly hope there won’t be a season six. I wish a wise director (ironically, her husband is a director with a rotten reputation himself) would offer her an interesting role so she could break free, step out of her husband’s cave, touch some grass, and return to real films again. She could be so much more. It’s frustrating how she’s now just “for _EIP_.”

I’m also genuinely concerned about her health. If you compare her appearance from Season 1 to Season 4, she’s become noticeably thinner with each installment, like she followed her own show's advice (smoking without eating) Her reputation was better, she was better, and her work was far more compelling before _EIP_ completely consumed her.
