The Great Instagram Purge! Lori Harvey Nukes Damson Idris From Her Feed After “Ghosting” Claims… And Avari Lanai Just Hit “Follow” On His Whole Circle! (DETAILS)
Media Take Out has been refreshing the “Following” lists all morning, and honey, the digital drama is more intense than the paparazzi shots! After we broke the news that Damson Idris was spotted cozying up to fitness bombshell Avari Lanai just weeks after his Paris reunion with Lori Harvey, the social media fallout has officially begun.

In the world of Hollywood’s elite, an unfollow is basically a restraining order—and Lori just pulled the trigger!
Lori Harvey: The “Delete” Queen Strikes Again
If you head over to Lori’s Instagram page right now, it’s like Damson Idris never existed. Sources tell Media Take Out that as soon as the photos of Damson and Avari hit the blogs, Lori went on a “digital cleansing” spree.
The Unfollow: Lori has officially hit the “Unfollow” button on Damson.
The Purge: Every single trace of their 2026 rekindled romance—including those high-glam shots from Paris Fashion Week—has been scrubbed from her grid.
The “Close Friends” Tea: A source close to Lori tells us she also removed him from her “Close Friends” list on her Stories. “She’s not just done; she’s erasing the memory,” the insider whispered. “Lori doesn’t do ‘staying friends’ when she feels disrespected.”

Damson’s Strategic Silence
Interestingly, as of this morning, April 20, 2026, Damson Idris is still technically following Lori. Whether he’s just too busy with his new “F1” ambassador duties to notice or he’s trying to play it cool, the Snowfall star hasn’t hit the button yet. However, he did delete his own most recent posts that featured “mystery” shots of Lori’s silhouette.
“Damson knows he’s in the doghouse,” a source added. “He’s trying to avoid a public back-and-forth, but the silence is deafening.”
Avari Lanai: Making Her Move?
While Lori is unfollowing, the new girl on the scene is doing the exact opposite. Media Take Out has learned that Avari Lanai has not only been liking Damson’s recent photos, but she’s also started following several of his close friends and business associates.
Social media sleuths also noticed that Avari posted a cryptic Story this morning with the caption: “New season, new energy. “—a not-so-subtle nod to Damson’s F1 ties.
The “Girl Code” Violation?
The internet is currently debating if Avari and Lori ever crossed paths in the LA social scene. While they weren’t besties, they move in similar circles, and many fans are calling Avari’s quick move a “violation” of the unwritten rules of the industry.
Is Lori right to hit the ‘delete’ button so fast, or is she just giving Damson exactly what he wants—a clean slate with his new IG model? Let us know in the comments!
