I guess I don't understand Sam. If you find someone to be in your life. Don't hide it. Maybe people would get over it and not harass. He and his friends could just shut off the instagram and twitter for awhile. Why the big secretiveness?
Oh you sweet, innocent lamb. 🥰Guess you weren't around when Sam DID go public with his ex-girlfriend, Mackenzie Mauzy. She was his girlfriend from 2016 to 2018. He even went IG official with her 👇
And took her to events, awards shows, Oscar parties, etc. 👇
Even introduced her to his Outlander costars, including Cait. 👇
Sam went as far as directly and publicly defending Mackenzie right on her own IG post when Extreme Shippers attacked her 👇
And in a bit of karmic justice, the ES troll Sam replied to was Outlanderlover2013, one of Flutist Kim's acknowledged hate accounts. Boom, bitch. 👊
So, guess what happened AFTER Sam took Mackenzie as his plus 1 everywhere, after HE posted a pic of them together on his IG, after tons of pap and fan pics and sightings were posted of them together, AFTER he defended her on social media? The hate stopped? NOPE, it only got worse.
Because these Extreme Shipper trolls are SICK and HORRIBLE people who don't listen to reason. And who try to DESTROY anything and ANYONE who gets in the way of the SamCait ship. ES mercilessly harassed Mackenzie on hundreds of sock hate accounts, contacted her employers, friends, ex-boyfriends, her parents, siblings, aunts, grandparents, sent her DEATH THREATS. It was disgusting.
And the same thing happens to any woman Sam dates or is even seen with. I really don't think Sam will go public with a woman again unless it's very very serious. And then he will take more precautions.
The Extreme Shippers who have threatened the women Sam dates are SCARY and have NO limits. Sam learned this the hard way. I don't think he will take chances. Case in point, he didn't follow Anna Modler or Monika Clarke on social media. That's the first time that's happened when he's dated someone. He finally figured out that the less the public knows, the better.
That's my long winded way of saying Sam is acutely aware that going public with a woman puts her...and him at risk, and makes things worse, not better. Sad but true.
He may only be more open with a girlfriend when Outlander ends and a few years go by, and maybe the nutjobs get bored and move on...time will tell. 🤷♀️
