Iggy Azalea hasn't had a great time using Twitter, so perhaps it's a surprise to no one that she's stepping away from the social media platform for a bit. The self-imposed break was inspired by a recent spate of mean comments regarding Azalea's body in a bathing suit, which is—regardless of how you feel about Azalea's music or ability—some pretty foul and expectedly terrible behavior from this wretched space we call the internet.
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.

I just want to have peace and relaxation time without a perve with long distance lense hiding out taking pictures, everyone deserves peace.

I feel the hatred and pettiness i see online at all times is at making me become an angry person and I cannot be that.

To become nasty because of the way I feel iam treated would be a disservice to my fans and I promise i will try to keep smiling.

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.

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

One last thing, though:
The Internet is the ugliest reflection of man kind there is.
