As previously documented, celebrities have said some very dumb things on Twitter over the years . Due to these mistakes, or due to a number of other reasons, many stars out there have attempted to quit the social media service. Some have succeeded, while others have returned shortly after they vowed to leave. Here's a look at various celebrities who, at various times, have simply had it with Twitter… 1. Lena Dunham After getting in some trouble for some inappropriate Tweets, and receiving loads of backlash as a result, Dunham said Twitter was no longer a “safe space” for her. She left the website in late September 2015. 2. Iggy Azalea Iggy Azalea does not always “fancy” the social media service. She tweeted on February 18 that she was taking time away from social media because she “[needs] to be happy and it is too negative and draining.” But she has since returned. 3. Jennifer Love Hewitt Jennifer Love Hewitt took a break in 2013 due the negativity people choose to send on Twitter, but she returned just a few months later. 4. Alec Baldwin Alec Baldwin famously vowed in 2013 he would never reopen his Twitter account after he exploded in a expletive-filled Twitter rant directed at a British reporter. He’s since returned, but not under his former personal account. 5. Kanye West Kanye West said goodbye to Twitter in 2012, deleting his old Tweets and unfollowing everyone except his then-girlfriend Kim Kardashian. But he’s now back to talk about Kim, his fashion line and other topics. 6. Miley Cyrus Miley Cyrus left Twitter way back in 2009. And again the following year. But she was never able to stay too far away, often returning to show off new, weird photos and messages. View Slideshow
