"the Internet Is the Ugliest Reflection of Mankind There Is"

Iggy Azalea's got one less, one less problem.

The "Problem" rapper returned home to California Wednesday after enjoying a romantic trip with Los Angeles Lakers player Nick Young. The couple happened to be photographed during their trip, and to Azalea's dismay, her bikini body was criticized by faceless internet bullies.

The musician, 24, expressed her disappointment in a series of tweets, writing, "Just got back from a great vacation, came online and saw apparently it's shocking and unheard of to be a woman and have cellulite. Lol. I just want to have peace and relaxation time without a perve with long distance lense hiding out taking pictures, everyone deserves peace.

I feel the hatred and pettiness i see online at all times is at making me become an angry person and I cannot be that. To become nasty because of the way I feel iam treated would be a disservice to my fans and I promise i will try to keep smiling. But I also want to let my fans know iam taking some time away from social media. I need to be happy and it is too negative and draining."

Azalea added, "The Internet is the ugliest reflection of man kind there is."

and how shameful it is for the 90+% of women who have it. It's not just the net.

Some places on the net are pits of nastiness and we usually know where they are and can manage to avoid them unless we're researching some sort of pathology or other.

Our interpretations of our own reflections is another matter.
