“Social media has become a little too overconsuming for me and I want to focus more on my family, my friends and life in general and not let social media control me and my time — my valuable time with my kids especially,”
“So, my amazing social media team is going to take up the slack and, don’t worry, I’ll still be posting lots of videos and pictures and you guys will still be able to keep up with me and know what’s going on.”
