Celebrities Who Dramatically Quit Social Media

Before Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, celebrities were mostly out of reach for fans. Unfortunately for famous people, social media doesn’t give only stans access, but haters and trolls too. Here’s a look back at some of the stars who quit social media. And they were dramatic AF about it.

Kendall Jenner

Back in 2016, Kendall Jenner revealed during an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” that her then-deletion of her Instagram account was 100 percent purposeful.

“I would wake up in the morning and look at it first thing, I would go to bed and it would be the last thing I looked at,” said Jenner. “I felt a little too dependent on it so I wanted to take a minute.” 

Cardi B

Heavily pregnant at the time with plenty of things to worry about IRL, Cardi B wasn’t here for Azealia Banks publicly dragging her on Twitter and Instagram.

In response, the “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker wiped her Instagram account after issuing one final clapback at her washed-up foe. Thankfully, Bardi returned to social media shortly after her dramatic departure.

Ariel Winter

While “Modern Family” actress Ariel Winter is still active on Instagram, Twitter hate was apparently too much for the 20-year-old to handle.

“Ariel has taken a break from Twitter and engaging with commenters on her other platforms because of the constant negativity she experiences,” said a rep for the star. “She needs a moment to breathe and enjoy herself without judgement.” 

Lena Dunham

Negatively affected by all the hate the she received on the regular, actress Lena Dunham announced her decision to quit social media as a way to avoid “verbal violence.” According to Dunham, she now has a member of her team post on her behalf so she can stay connected to her fans without having to engage with any toxic hate-slinging.
