« Saturday Night Live » star Pete Davidson and singer Ariana Grande will take a hiatus from Instagram due to « negative energy » online.
July 24 (UPI) — Celebrity couple Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande are addressing their break from Instagram.
The 24-year-old actor and comedian and 25-year-old singer said they plan to take a hiatus from the photo-sharing site due to « negative energy » online.
Davidson explained his decision in an Instagram Stories post Monday after deleting photos of Grande and all of his other posts on Instagram.
« no there’s nothing wrong. no nothing happened. no there’s nothing cryptic about anything. i just don’t wanna be on instagram anymore. or on any social media platform, » the star wrote.
« the internet is an evil place and it doesn’t make me feel good, » he said. « why should i spend any time on negative energy when my real life is [expletive] lit. the fact that i even have to say this proves my point. i love you all and i’m sure i’ll be back at some point. »
Grande shared similar sentiments in a tweet to fans Tuesday, saying she will use Snapchat in the interim.
« yeh! i’m prolly gonna post on der for a little while & take a breather from twitter & ig for a little, » the singer wrote .
« just sometimes can’t help but bump into some negative [expletive] that really can bum u out and it’s not worth it honestly, » she explained. « promised i’d always tell you. i love u sm! be well & happy. »
Davidson and Grande confirmed their engagement in June after a few weeks of dating. Davidson gushed about his fiancee in a since-deleted post on her birthday June 26.
« happy birthday to the most precious angel on earth! you’re my favorite person that ever existed:) i love you sm, » the Saturday Night Live star wrote.
