Just like us, celebrities sometimes get sick of social media — it's then that they decide they need to take a break. Sometimes this means a short detox that gives them a much-needed breather from the internet. Other times it requires a longer hiatus that allows them to get back to the real world. You know, the one beyond the screen.
