Chloe Ferry has quit social media after receiving bad news about her family and after receiving a barrage of abuse from a follower on Instagram.
The 25-year-old reality star announced on Instagram late on Monday night that she would be stepping away from her socials to deal with some bad personal news.
Chloe is often seen sharing highlights of her life online, but warned followers that sometimes what she posts on social media does not accurately reflect her true feelings.
The star revealed she had been feeling down about her bad news already, and then was pushed too far when one follower responded to many of her Instagram Stories posts to send her native comments and abuse.
Explaining in writing, Chloe left a message online reading: “I’m taking a few days away from social media and my phone I really need this me time.
“I haven't been feeling my normal lately and I'm sick of pretending I'm ok to please other people for once I'm putting myself first. Love you all.”
Earlier, the star revealed some of the abuse she had received at a time where she was already feeling vulnerable.
She said in a video: “I’ve had really bad news about my family, and my close friends and family know about it.
“I am going to have a bit of time off social media, it's for the best."
She shared images of abuse she had received from a follower.
She said: “I’ve actually been having a really bad day today so seeing that hasn't made me feel the best.
Chloe explained that her upbeat appearance online didn’t show her true feelings.
She said: “It's one of many. Just because I show myself on Instagram, doesn't mean you know how I'm actually feeling. I post myself looking sexy but it doesn't actually mean that I feel sexy, I'm actually very insecure.
“I don't really read my DMs but this woman - who is the same age as my mum - is constantly commenting on my Stories.
“She replies back to every single Story I put up, she's so nasty to us. I get grief and it doesn't bother us, but this girl replies back to everything! She said I can't spell... well I'm dyslexic… then she goes on about my lips.”
Chloe has not revealed how long she will be keeping away from social media, but added during her video posting: "Pre-recorded stuff will be posted. I'm only human and social media gets too much, this is why I need a few days.”
