Kendall Jenner Says Her Instagram Obsession Went Too Far: "I Needed a Detox"
The model explains why she deleted her account
Three days ago, Kendall Jenner quit Instagram with no warning or explanation. The sudden disappearance of her profile made headlines — and Jenner herself just doesn't understand why. "It's so crazy to me that it even became huge news like that," she told Ellen DeGeneres. "Like, I have no idea how that — I guess I didn't expect it. But I also took my Twitter off my phone. Like, I didn't delete my Twitter entirely but I took the app off my phone. So I had no idea anyone was even talking about it. I honestly didn't think anyone would care. Yeah, and my friends kept texting me and my family members and I was like, 'How does everyone know?' And they started sending me links to like CNN and all these things and I was like, 'why is this even this big of a deal?'"
DeGeneres asked the model why she left. "I don't know, I just wanted to detox," Jenner said. "I felt like — I just wanted a little bit of a break. I'm always on it. I feel — I would wake up in the morning, and I would look at it first thing. I would go to bed, and it was the last thing that I would look at. It just, I felt a little too dependent on it. I kind of wanted to take a minute; it's a detox. I'll be back! I'll come back."
And while "withdrawals are starting to come in," Jenner highly recommends deleting your profile too for a bit. "I'm away from my phone so much more. You start to engage in like real life more, and you have to deal with real people right in front of you."
