MUST-READ: What pushed Maine Mendoza to take a break from Twitter?

The Eat Bulaga superstar Maine Mendoza is back from her four-day vacation from Maldives and the Dubsmash Queen of the Philippines finally broke her silence over why she decided to take a break from Twitterverse.

In her blog post on June 11, Maine didn’t mince her words and expressed her dismay over the toxic environment she experienced in the social media site.

She wrote, “Hi guys! I am back! After taking a breather at Maldives for 5 days (actually 4 lang, bitin na bitin!), now I am back to reality once again. Decided to take a break from Twitter too because Twitterworld’s been really toxic lately. How’s it now, by the way? Do you still remember when everything used to be fun there? When Twitter used to be a harmonious environment for everyone? Haha I know, me neither.”

A fan commented on Maine’s post and advised her not to mind the negative comments of her bashers.

But the former Destined To Be Yours star clarified that she was not particularly concerned about the Internet trolls, but some of her fans who were causing trouble.

“For the record, it was never about the “baddies”. Bashers are there 24/7 since the very beginning and I honestly do not mind about them. It’s just lately, some of the fans are the ones to start and engage in conflict; until things start getting blown out of proportion. It’s gotten to the point where fans are quarrelling with fans too, and not with bashers anymore.”

She also added that she missed the days when Twitter was put into good use like the Kalyeserye days of Eat Bulaga.

“Like I have said, Twitter used to be a harmonious environment to all of us, remember the bayanihan days? Kalyeserye days? Pre-tamang panahon? Tamang panahon? I know things have changed but I hope we get to perpetuate the harmony among each of us.”
