NEW YORK — Kendall Jenner has deleted her Instagram account, and the Internet is freaking out about it. News broke on Nov 14 that the model decided that she was over Instagram and shut it down without any warning or explanation.

Jenner’s action has been speculated to be a reaction to the hate she’s been getting lately from the Vogue Spain ballet shoot. Some think that the model just needs a break from social media — like her good friend Justin Beiber, who also deleted his account months ago.

No matter her real reason for doing so, fans are hoping that this hiatus is temporary — they have been leaving comments on her Twitter and Facebook accounts, which remain active, and begging her to return to Instagram.

In other news, the Hadid sisters’ careers continue to mirror each other. Shortly after Gigi was announced as the new face for Reebok, younger sis Bella has also gotten her first fitness endorsement deal.

The 20-year-old has just revealed her official partnership with Nike on Instagram, stating that she is “so excited to announce that I am OFFICIALLY PART OF THE NIKE FAMILY! More coming very soon”.

The endorsement deal hardly came as a surprise as the model is often photographed rocking her athleisure style in Nike clothes and kicks. She will be part of the brand’s #NewYorkMade campaign, alongside superstar athletes such as Serena Williams, Lebron James and Olympic gold-medal gymnast Simone Biles.
