INFphoto.com What Are They Lookin’ At?!? Internet snark over actress Minnie Driver’s bikini body in photos snapped by paps has the actress taking a pause from social media. Minnie Driver is abandoning ship on social media over “mean” comments about her bikini body from Internet trolls.
Photos snapped by paparazzi of the 44-year-ancient British stunner during her vacation in Miami with her 5-year-ancient son, Henry, surfaced earlier in the week. And apparently her six-pack abs were not impressive enough for some commentators, since the photos elicited some body-shaming negativity online.
Their vitriol didn’t sit well with the “About a Boy” star, who tweeted Wednesday:
Days before Driver went into self-imposed exile from the social media service, she had told ABC News that she loved using Twitter as a source of information and a direct conduit to fans.
“It’s where I get my news from these days,” she said. “As a celebrity, it’s having a forum where you can answer the nonsensical rubbish that is written about you or not engage with that.
Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP Minnie Driver had recently told ABC News that she was ‘mad’ — a positive thing in British slang — about Twitter, before she saw the social media site’s negative side. “It’s given a little bit of control back, I like it.”
