14 DAY TRIAL // Disney darling Demi Lovato is treading in the footsteps of another Disney darling, Miley Cyrus, and is going on a Twitter break, as she announced herself only a few hours ago.
According to E! Online, Demi is not yet thinking of closing down her Twitter account for good, like Miley did, but she is officially on a break.
Sources say for the aforementioned publication that Demi has simply grown tired of constantly having to deal with hateful messages from those who only pose as her fans.
Because of this, she’ll be taking a break from the social networking site – but she’ll probably be coming back some day, for the sake of her 2.5 million followers.
“We hear that she’s just tired of all the haters out there with their ‘mean-spirited messages.’ Demi might return to her 2.5 million followers one day, but for now...” E! writes.
“I love my fans so much but the access that the other people have is uncomfortable to me. Twitterbreak. Peace,” Demi said in a simple post announcing she’d no longer be tweeting.
As we also reported at the time, Miley too went off Twitter, though she did it for entirely different reasons, saying she’d realized she’d let the Internet take over real human interaction.
“To my dearest fans, you all are the closest thing to my heart & it breaks my spirit to hear that some of you feel neglected since I deleted my twitter. It was a wonderful way to stay connected to you & I really felt like during that time we became very much like friends,” Miley wrote on her official page.
“Twitter is a beautiful thing if used for the right reason. I love my job so much that it is hard to believe sometimes that it is considered ‘working.’ But, in the end it is still a business and I do need some sort of a ‘normal’ life as well,” she said.
“I often complain to the ones closest to me that I don’t seem to have much of a private life any more and part of that is my fault. How can I whine about my life being to[o] public if I am the one telling the world what I am doing?” the singer / actress asked.
At the time, Miley didn’t sacrifice just Twitter but all sorts of online activities. She also urged her fans to take a break from Cyberspace and try to remember what it was like to be a real person, engaged in relationships with real people, not virtual friends.
