Lexi announces social media break because of 'hurtful' comments

Lexi Thompson is taking a break from her love-hate relationship with social media.

Thompson took to Instagram Saturday to let her fans know that she was personally taking a step back from the various platforms for the time being because she was tired of dealing with the negative comments and wanted to focus on herself.

"Hey everybody, just want to say I will be taking a break from social media," the 24-year-old LPGA star wrote. "If I post it will be from my management team for me. I’m too involved with it, and to read some of the hurtful things being said to me lately isn’t fair and I’m not dealing with it.
