Kendall Jenner Told Ellen Whether She's Coming Back to Instagram or Not

Kendall Jenner sent her fans into a tizzy this week after her Instagram account disappeared from the platform. At the time, we weren't sure whether she fully committed to deleting her account or if she merely disabled it, but now we have our answer.
Appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to promote the newest book she wrote with sister Kylie, Jenner revealed the real reason she quit Instagram and whether she's coming back. “I just wanted to detox. I just wanted a little bit of a break," she told the host. "I’m always on it. I would wake up in the morning and look at it first thing. I would go to bed and it was the last thing I would look at. I felt a little too dependent on it, so I wanted to take a minute to detox. I’ll be back, I'll come back." So there you have it: Kendall fans can breathe easy again.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
