Demi Lovato quits Twitter, Instagram after criticism

LOS ANGELES, June 21 (UPI) -- Demi Lovato is done with Twitter and Instagram.

The 23-year-old singer announced she's leaving the social media sites in a series of tweets Monday but told her 77.4 million followers she'll continue to post on Snapchat.

"Damn I gotta quit saying [expletive]. Bye Twitter. And insta," she wrote. "I like snapchat cause I don't have to see what some of y'all say. Follow me if you want: theddlovato."

"That one time I started my own charity providing mental heath care for people who can't afford it and this is what y'all talk about," the star added. "And people wonder what's wrong with the world. Pay more attention to good than bad."

Lovato's posts came just days after she faced heavy backlash for criticizing Mariah Carey. The singer slammed Carey on Instagram after a fan implied Ariana Grande is less talented than the 46-year-old star.

"You got it the wrong way around honey," she wrote. "Mariah is a legend and is so talented but constantly disses people. It's nasty the way she treats Jennifer [Lopez]. Ari did nothing wrong."

Carey herself didn't post or comment on the fan's meme, but has had a number of reported feuds with other stars. She addressed her supposed conflict with Lopez in May after famously declaring "I don't know her" in the 2000s.

"I can't believe people still make such a big deal of it," the star said. "I don't know her. Like, what am I supposed to say? I'm not going to put on a thing like, 'Oh, we're all Hollywood and let's just all pretend we're best friends.'"

Lovato will kick off her Future Now tour with Nick Jonas on June 29. The singer said she is "so excited" for the venture when she performed on Good Morning America last week.
