In a recent story on her Instagram she announced that she would be taking a break from social media for a few days to "stay away from the toxic energy".

She said: "Honestly so disappointed with how a lot of people choose to carry themselves online. The hateful comments and general toxicity is heartbreaking. I hope at some point people learn from the serious repercussions of online bullying. Coming off here for a couple of days so I can focus on the bigger picture and stay away from the toxic energy."
