She then posted the same message to her Instagram stories, explaining that her management would be posting on her social media on her behalf, saying, “My team will be posting/ reposting work related things for a little while Brb x. “
The announcement comes just days after she gave a powerful interview to The Guardian in which she spoke about the murder of her childhood boyfriend aged 16, saying, “That changed my life completely. Losing somebody close to you as a teenager, particularly your first love, rocks your whole world and you are forced to see life differently.”
