And added:
I just felt gross being like ‘oh look at the shoes I bought and look at the TV shows I’m filming. It all just felt so insignificant and icky and I just didn’t know what to post. It felt gross to just post normal stuff.More under this adMore under this ad
She also said that it felt strange for her to pretend that all was okay in the world despite admitting that being active on Instagram is part of her livelihood. For that reason, she explains:
I’m filming two shows at the moment, I am sick of the sound of my own voice, so I ended up having a few days of the gram and it just rolled and rolled and not it’s been like two weeks. It does feel a bit strange posting about our lovely lives when the stuff that is going on is going on and obviously Insta is part of my job as well.More under this adMore under this ad
