Sarah Michelle Gellar wasn’t too happy after her son’s Roblox account was hacked, and she took to Instagram Stories to vent.
Roblox, a popular gaming platform, has a wide range of titles available, from the truly terrifying to the more family-friendly. There’s something for literally every kind of user.
And that includes celebrities. Everyone from Paris Hilton and Miley Cyrus to Lil Nas X has been connected to Roblox, either through brand deals or performing digital concerts.
Even actress Sarah Michelle Gellar plays on Roblox, or at least her son does. It appears Gellar tapped into Robux, a digital currency you can unlock by using real-world money, as her credit card was reportedly attached to her son’s account.
Sarah Michele Gellar claims her life is “canceled” after Roblox hacking
On December 4, Sarah Michelle Gellar posted on Instagram Stories how upset she was after her son’s Roblox account was hacked. The account was subsequently disabled.
“I had to cancel my credit card and now my life is basically canceled,” she wrote. “@Roblox, why don’t you have better parental help?”

Many Reddit users did not come to her defense. In fact, most posted scathing responses. “Getting one’s life cancelled doesn’t mean the meaning this woman thinks it means,” one user wrote. “People seriously need to stop misusing the word ‘cancelled’.”
Another chimed in, writing, “I don’t know parent, why don’t YOU have better parental control.”
“Sounds like son got carried away making purchases in Roblox, and gave Mom a BS story that he was hacked,” laughed a third.
As of this writing, Roblox has yet to respond, and Gellar has not posted any follow-up Stories.
