K. Michelle announced that she is taking a break from social media after reading mean comments made about her son Chase's friend who has Down Syndrome. The R&B singer shared photos from her son's birthday party over the weekend, and nasty comments started popping up about her son's friend.
She wrote a statement on her Instagram page about being upset about the comments and added a caption to further explain her thoughts:
"I'm so not perfect this I know. Sometimes I just need to shut up and pick my battles better, but one thing I'm not is evil spirited. This week I really opened my eyes. I saw people justifying violence against me, believing the half truths of gossip blogs, a person Dm'ing me cause they were contemplating suicide, and now this. People are really hurting all over the world! Social media was made for fun, but it has become so heavy. A source for bullying and hurting those who u secretly desire to be. I'm not mad at any of you hurt souls though. Who I am to judge? I've just decided to hand over this negative source in my life. I'm happy now. And some battles aren't worth me fighting anymore. Throw all the darts you want at me, have fun over here in negative land. But know lying on me, and insulting me, won't heal you. Trust me, I used to be just like u! Rebels I love you!!!!!!! Can't wait for u to hear this Album! See you on the road. Not bye forever, just taking a little break to smile :-) I'll be back."
