Iggy Azalea Quits Twitter

Azalea returned from a Hawaiian vacation with her boyfriend, Nick Young, to find that paparazzi photos of her bikini body had become a topic of controversy in the tabloids, with many making fun of her cellulite. Azalea laughed off the speculation about her cellulite, accurately noting that most women have some form of cellulite.

Just got back from a great vacation, came online and saw apparently it’s shocking and unheard of to be a woman and have cellulite. Lol.

The negative words and press about her body seems to have pushed Azalea over the edge. Tired of the barrage of mean messages and criticism, Azalea she would be “taking some time away from social media.”

But I also want to let my fans know iam taking some time away from social media. I need to be happy and it is too negative and draining.

Despite Azalea’s decision to quit Twitter, she hasn’t abandoned her social media profiles. Instead, she has taken a step back, and will allow her management team to Tweet and post things online for her.

My management will tweet/run my accounts from today onwards with updates etc unless any message is signed -IA. Love you all. Peace out!

When people questioned Azalea’s action, Azalea hit back, saying that she felt she can’t be happy and be exposed to the constant negative energy on the Internet at the same time.

@JustJared @ddior901 and thus I can no longer ignore the Internet is bad for happiness, unless youre sadistic.

In conclusion, Azalea summed up the reasoning behind her decision, writing plainly: “The Internet is the ugliest reflection of man kind there is.”

The Internet is the ugliest reflection of man kind there is.
