Hadid left Twitter on 5 Oct., taking to Instagram to explain why. "I deactivated my Twitter account today," she wrote in an Instagram story, as reported by People. "For a long time, but especially with its new leadership, it's becoming more and more of a cesspool of hate & bigotry, and its not a place I want to be a part of. Only sorry to the fans, who I've loved connecting with for a decade via Twitter, but I can't say it's a safe place for anyone, nor a social platform that will do more good than harm."
