I'm So Pissed Off at Ian Somerhalder for Repeatedly Breaking His Vow to Have a 'Month of Silence'

Sometime during Nikki Reed’s third trimester, she and husband Ian Somerhalder shared their vow to take a “month of silence” after the birth of their child. In an interview with Fit Pregnancy and Baby, a magazine about three things that in no way apply to me, Reed said:

“We’ll take the baby’s first month for ourselves. After the baby arrives, we’re doing one month of silence. Just the three of us, no visitors, and we’re turning off our phones too, so there’s no expectation for us to communicate.”

A month with no distractions—just a newborn baby girl to keep you occupied, entertained, and mystified by the miracle of life. Sounds nice, right? Well, apparently that’s not good enough for Mr. Somerhalder, who has broken that vow vow not once, not twice, but six fucking times on his Instagram account—an app that require’s one’s phone to communicate.

What’s worse, he’s not even sharing anything good! Since their daughter, Bodhi Soleil Reed Somerhalder, was born, Mr. Somerhalder has posted:

1. A boring #tbt of him, Reed, and their dog lying on the floor.
2. A boring #tbt selfie of him editing…some show no one’s ever watched? A movie? Who knows. Worthless.
3. A selfie of him holding up a book written by his vet called The Ultimate Pet Health Guide. Somerholder says the book “combines two of [his] passions: holistic health and the love of animals.”
4. A photo of his cat in which he promotes CatCon, an event I refuse to look up.
5. A selfie of his cat nuzzled up against his flexed bicep, also promoting CatCon.
6. This:

Yes! The cover of Fit Pregnancy and Baby! That, my friends, is the very magazine that contains his vow to not do precisely what he did by posting the cover of said magazine.
