Congratulations, Internet. You scared off Iggy Azalea. The Australian rapper returned from a little post-Grammys vacation only to be utterly dismayed by the social media reactions to some photos of her on the beach. So dismayed, in fact, that she went on an epic Twitter tirade culminating in her announcing she’s taking her Twitter ball and going home because you’re all jerks.
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!

Not quite done, she popped back in a few minutes later to add the rather poetic.
The Internet is the ugliest reflection of man kind there is.
