Fed up with haters, Iggy Azalea has decided to take time away from Twitter. The artist took to her account late Wednesday night to address the backlash she’s received since paparazzi photos of her vacationing in a bikini emerged.

The photos, taken while Azalea believed she was relaxing in private, triggered an onslaught of Twitter commentary from body-shaming Internet trolls.

Azalea initially responded lightheartedly:

But her follow-up tweets grew more serious.
