Kylie Jenner is Thinking of Deleting Her Instagram

Have you ever wondered what the world would look like if the Kardashians weren’t on social media? Quiet, probably. Very quiet. Especially if the youngest Kardashian lady, Kylie Jenner, decides to leave the virtual world. As it turns out, we might be one step closer to that—Kylie recently hinted that she’s considering retiring (yes, at age 18) and leaving Instagram.

With more than 52 million followers, the social media mogul has among the top 10 most followed Instagram accounts.

In a recent interview for Wonderland’s spring issue, Jenner explained, “It’s not that I don’t want to do it,” but then quickly followed up with, “Yeah, actually I kind of just don’t want to do it anymore. Honestly, I’ve always been like that. I want to be a businesswoman and be behind-the-scenes. Kylie Jenner needs to retire.” 

With all of her beauty endeavors, including the very successful Lip Kit, it doesn’t really come as a shock that Jenner is more interested in the business side of the industry. 

Plus, this isn’t the first time she’s spoken about leaving the social media platform. Earlier this year, she shared with Elle UK that there is an expiration date on her social media presence. “Once I have a kid I’m not going to be on Instagram,” she told the magazine. “You know, I’ll probably delete my Instagram and just… I don’t know, live life.”
