Maine Mendoza explains why she took a break from Twitter

Before taking a trip to the Maldives, Maine Mendoza deactivated her Twitter account, leading people to speculate about the reason.

While she has been active on other social media channels such as Instagram, the Eat Bulaga mainstay opened up about why she left Twitter for the meantime.

"Decided to take a break from Twitter too because Twitterworld’s been really toxic lately. How’s it now, by the way? Do you still remember when everything used to be fun there? When Twitter used to be a harmonious environment for everyone? Haha I know, me neither," she wrote in a recent blog entry on MaineMendoza.com after returning from her Maldives getaway.

"Anyway, I just cannot stand people’s negativity there lately. I mean, I have enough negativity in my system already to still add and endure those," she added.

Responding to a comment, Maine further explained: "For the record, it was never about the 'baddies'. Bashers are there 24/7 since the very beginning and I honestly do not mind about them. It’s just lately, some of the fans are the ones to start and engage in conflict; until things start getting blown out of proportion. It’s gotten to the point where fans are quarrelling with fans too, and not with bashers anymore. Like I have said, Twitter used to be a harmonious environment to all of us, remember the bayanihan days? Kalyeserye days? Pre-tamang panahon? Tamang panahon? I know things have changed but I hope we get to perpetuate the harmony among each of us."

In her blog, she also gave a message of positivity for her fans.

"Stay positive and throw lamps on those people who need to lighten up! Life gets better when you don’t worry about much things. Stay on your own lanes," she said. —JST, GMA News
