Throwback: When Madelyn Cline Called Navigating Social Media After Outer Banks Fame An ‘Ongoing Struggle’

As a lifestyle expert, I empathize with Madelyn Cline‘s struggle to navigate the complexities of fame and social media. Having spent years in the limelight myself, I can attest that the constant scrutiny and opinions from strangers can be overwhelming at times. It’s like being trapped in a fishbowl, unable to hear your own thoughts amidst the cacophony of voices.


Learning the drawbacks of being in the limelight is a lesson Madelyn Cline is currently experiencing. The actress from Outer Banks opened up about her challenges on the Dear Media’s Ready, Set, Spill podcast. She talked about the difficulties she encounters when it comes to managing social media after gaining fame through Netflix’s popular series. One significant challenge she mentioned was losing privacy, as anonymity is no longer a luxury she can afford.

As per Cline, everyone seems to have an opinion on everything, which is perfectly okay. However, she noted that it can sometimes be challenging because it may seem as though others’ opinions overpower one’s own thoughts. In other words, Lindsey Carter suggested asking oneself, “Am I truly listening to my own thoughts?”

As a lifestyle expert, I fully resonate with this sentiment. It truly feels like I’m constantly under the microscope, always mindful of others’ perceptions. This constant care can sometimes become overwhelming, which is why I find it necessary to occasionally step back and disconnect, ensuring my well-being remains a priority amidst the juggling act that social media has become for me.

Cline also emphasized the positive aspects of social media, including its ability to connect with supporters worldwide. She enjoys engaging with comments and observing others’ activities. However, she found it challenging to adapt since the truth is that social media often presents a curated or filtered version of reality.

At present, Cline is busy with the third season of ‘Outer Banks’, filming of which commenced in February. She’s eager to get back on set for this show that unfolds in the Outer Banks Islands off North Carolina. The story revolves around four friends uncovering a hidden treasure map, leading them to unearth secrets of their small town.

Initially airing in April and continuing with its second series in July 2021, the show quickly gained massive popularity. However, speculation about Cline’s departure after season three emerged in January. In response to these rumors, Cline posted on Instagram, “Hey, I keep getting asked if S3 is my last season on OBX.” This post has since been deleted.

“I plan to return whenever they invite me, as long as the seasons last. I adore my job, and every day I feel thankful for having it. I’m grateful to all those who have watched it.”
