Top Instagram Model Kendall Jenner Deletes Social Media Account
Kendall Jenner has the most-liked photos and Instagram account on all of social media. Now, the model’s account has disappeared, leaving fans in a frenzy. What made Kendall Jenner delete her Instagram account? Was she fed up with her followers or did she want to take a social media absence like her sister, Kim Kardashian, has been doing?
Fans were shocked to see that Kendall Jenner’s Instagram account disappeared on Sunday, Nov. 13. They went into a meltdown when they noticed that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has disappeared from the social media app. According to reports, it looks like Jenner is taking a break from Instagram. While Jenner hasn’t the reason why she left Instagram, fans are glad to see that her social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter are still there.
Kendall has revealed in the past that she loves to take a digital detox every so often, as noted by E! Online.
“I definitely have close friends, and even some family members, who are so connected to their phone and can’t get off it,” she explained to Allure magazine about a time when her family wouldn’t get off their phones during a vacation. “That was the moment it kind of clicked for me. And I didn’t like it. So sometimes I delete Instagram or Twitter or Snapchat off my phone for a couple days.”
Kendall is still one of the most popular celebrities on Instagram. Just one of her post earned more likes than any other celebrity account back in 2015. Over three million people liked a post of Kendall lying on the floor with her hair spread out in hearts while she wore what looked like a white lace wedding dress. Back in March, Kendall revealed to Vogue about how she plans out her Instagram posts, which she admits are not meticulously planned at all.
She stated that her Instagram posts are organic. When asked what “organic” means, she said, “It means you can’t totally plan it out.”
Jenner could have deleted her account due to the criticism she’s received in recent months. She has since received backlash for doing a ballerina photo shoot in Vogue and for choosing to bare her breasts on social media. Jenner’s social media absence could also be related to her stalker situation, according to Complex. For the past few months, she has been involved in a court battle in which she had to testify against her alleged stalker, Shavaughn McKenzie.
Kendall now joins her sister Kim Kardashian, who has been on a social media absence after she was robbed and held at gunpoint in Paris. Though Kim has not deleted her Instagram account, she still hasn’t posted anything since last month. Kendall may just need a break from social media due to her anxiety and sleep paralysis, as noted by Heavy.com.
In an interview with Us Weekly, she revealed that she was secretly hospitalized in late 2015, following her hectic modeling schedule.
“I just got so tired from work and life and everything that it freaked me out at the end of this year. I actually had to go to the hospital because I was so exhausted – it was definitely a wakeup call that I need to take better care of myself.”
On a recent episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Jenner addressed her struggles with sleep paralysis, trypophobia and anxiety, adding that, “I wake up in the middle of the night and I can’t move.”
Kendall is constantly working and traveling due to her crazy modeling schedule. It could be the reason why she’s stressed and probably needs a breather from social media. What are your thoughts on Kendall leaving Instagram? Sound off below in the comments section.
