Kendall Jenner Reveals Why She Quit Instagram

Social media fan Kendall Jenner surprised her millions of followers earlier this week by deleting her Instagram profile without any explanation. However, it now seems that this wasn’t a hack or a mistake but a conscious effort to have a bit of a break.

The model - who is sister to the famous Kardashian girls - appeared on the Ellen Degeneres Show to reveal why she made the decision to remove her account.

Apparently, Jenner wanted a "digital detox".

She told the chat show host: "I just wanted to detox. I wanted a bit of a break. I’m always on it.

"I would wake up in the morning and go on it first thing. And go to bed and it was the last thing I looked at."

Speculation was rife that trolls had forced the 21-year-old off the media platform but she put paid to those rumours.

She said: "I feel like I was a little dependent on it. I didn’t think anyone would care.

"My friends kept texting me and my family members. And [my family] kept sending me links to CNN and I thought, ‘ how is it even this big of a deal?’"

Fortunately for Jenner’s legions of fans, the star confirmed that should be "be back".
