Minnie Driver quits Twitter over mean comments

Los Angeles: Actress Minnie Driver has become the latest victim of cyber-bullying and has quit Twitter.The 44-year-old actress announced she quit the micro-blogging site over mean comments about her bikini body, thinking that it`s not worth it to have an account, reportedly.

Driver was a subject of ridicule for her recent vacation photos in which she played in the pool and walking across the beach with five-year-old son Henry while wearing printed bikini. "God some people are horrible," she tweeted to her 81,000-plus followers. "You try being photographed when you don`t know it`s happening, when you`re on holiday with your kids. I`m out of this Twittersphere for a while. It`s too mean sometimes, about your body , about your soul. Not worth it." Ironically, it was just last week that she said that she was "mad" in a good way about Twitter. "It`s where I get my news from these days. As a celebrity, it`s having a forum where you can answer the nonsensical rubbish that is written about you or not engage with that. It`s given a little bit of control back, I love it," she had said.
