"It would probably break my heart to hear that people didn't like me. I don't look on the Internet"
About this Quote
Then comes the cultural tell: “I don’t look on the Internet.” Not “I don’t read comments” or “I avoid Twitter,” but the Internet as a whole, like a chaotic weather system you simply choose not to step into. It’s funny because it’s slightly implausible for a working actor in 2026-adjacent life, which is exactly why it works. The statement performs innocence while signaling strategy. She’s not pretending haters don’t exist; she’s refusing to audition for their attention.
Context matters: celebrity now comes with a real-time focus group attached, and that focus group is frequently cruel, bored, and anonymous. Rohm’s quote is a quiet rebuke of the expectation that public figures must constantly monitor their own market value. The subtext is less “I can’t handle negativity” than “I’m choosing a way to keep making work without being psychologically managed by strangers.” It’s vulnerability as brand, yes, but also a rare, sensible act of refusal.
