Following the 2016 Teen Choice Awards, which paid tribute to victims of gun violence, Ridley posted on both Instagram and Facebook an anti-gun violence message. Her post prompted backlash from the public, with critics accusing Ridley of hypocrisy in reference to the violence depicted in her Star Wars films.{{cite magazine|last=Robinson|first=Will|url=https://ew.com/article/2016/08/03/daisy-ridley-quits-instagram/|title=Daisy Ridley quits Instagram after anti-gun comments receive backlash|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|date=3 August 2016|access-date=20 August 2016|archive-date=18 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160818053917/http://www.ew.com/article/2016/08/03/daisy-ridley-quits-instagram|url-status=live}} Because of this, she deleted her social media accounts,{{cite news |last=Davis |first=Allison P. |date=5 December 2017 |title=Daisy Ridley of 'Star Wars' on Insta-Bullies, Disney Execs, and Living Up to Rey |url=https://www.glamour.com/story/daisy-ridley-star-wars-rey-january-2018-cover-story |work=Glamour |access-date=5 December 2017 |archive-date=5 December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171205164043/https://www.glamour.com/story/daisy-ridley-star-wars-rey-january-2018-cover-story |url-status=live }} but briefly returned to Instagram, claiming the reason for the deletion was because she had "a busy few months ahead [and] so wanted less distractions". She reiterated this statement in 2017, saying that social media is "highly unhealthy for people's mental health," including hers.{{cite news |last=Vock |first=Ido |date=7 December 2017 |title=Star Wars actor Daisy Ridley: social media is bad for mental health |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/dec/07/star-wars-daisy-ridley-social-media-mental-health |work=The Guardian |access-date=7 December 2017 |archive-date=9 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240809003229/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/dec/07/star-wars-daisy-ridley-social-media-mental-health |url-status=live }} Ridley further commented on the topic in a 2019 interview, vowing never to return to social media. She said:{{blockquote|I honestly think now with social media and stuff...it's great to have freedom of expression, but I do feel like people think opinions have so much weight... I don't really think bad vibes should have the sun shone on them. [...] It's dangerous. [...] It's great in that respect for people who are in serious and dire situations to be able to be communicating, but for the most part I think — no, no, no.{{cite news |last=Mack |date=26 June 2019 |first=David |title='Star Wars' Actor Daisy Ridley Said She Will Never Return To Social Media |url=https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/davidmack/daisy-ridley-social-media |work=BuzzFeed News |access-date=28 June 2019 |archive-date=27 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190627130747/https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/davidmack/daisy-ridley-social-media |url-status=live }}}}
