Three days ago, when Kendall Jenner unceremoniously quit Instagram, we found ourselves staring into the abyss and asking the big questions: What does it all mean? Turns out, it doesn t mean too much.
Jenner told Ellen DeGeneres she didn t quite understand what all the fuss is about. “It s so crazy to me that it even became huge news like that," she said. "Like, I have no idea how that—I guess I didn t expect it. But I also took my Twitter off my phone. Like, I didn t delete my Twitter entirely but I took the app off my phone. So I had no idea anyone was even talking about it. I honestly didn t think anyone would care."
DeGeneres asked her why (why!) would she leave behind her 68 million followers, and the answer is pretty reasonable: "I don t know, I just wanted a detox,” Jenner said. “I felt like—I just wanted a little bit of a break. I m always on it. I feel-I would wake up in the morning and I would look at it first thing. I would go to bed, and it was the last thing that I would look at. It just, I felt a little too dependent on it. I kind of wanted to take a minute; it s a detox. I ll be back! I ll come back."
You hear that, guys? It ll be all right in a little while.
