After spending the last few days on vacation with boyfriend Nick Young, Iggy Azalea logged back onto Twitter and discovered that not only had paparazzi photographed her in a bikini, but also that people weren’t being too kind about the images.
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.

Despite the “lol,” Iggy — who takes her privacy seriously — made it clear she wasn’t really laughing about the situation. She added, “I just want to have peace and relaxation time without a perve with long distance lense hiding out taking pictures, everyone deserves peace.”
But, she didn’t just take fault with the paparazzi.
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.

Iggy ended by saying the Internet “is the ugliest reflection of man kind there is” and all future posts will come from her management team, unless the messages are denoted “IA.”
To be honest, I do feel sorry for people like Iggy. Sure, the social media is an incredible tool for promoting their work and ultimately enables them to benefit. But, with the price being regular insults, it’s no surprise that more celebrities are turning away from it all.
