Why Has Jack Monroe Left Twitter?

Jack Monroe left the social media platform, Twitter after posting a statement about the mental health impact of abuse received online.

Jack said in the statement that, “I’m coming off Twitter for the good of my mental health. I have been in enough abusive relationships to recognise gaslighting, coercion and bullying and my personal relationships are suffering as a result of what I experience on here every day…”

After the statement, a large number of people reached out to Jack offering their support.

Jack’s last post on Twitter read. “So as I go- if to leave any kind of legacy, it is that for all you who lurk and think nice things, SAY them. Favourite more. Heart people”.
