Minnie Driver is taking a break from Twitter after receiving negative comments about her bikini body, which was recently photographed while she was on vacation.

The 44-year-old actress was on vacation in Miami with her son Henry, 5, where she was photographed sporting a green bikini that showed off her fit physique. Despite how great she looked, she still received “mean” comments about her body, according to US Weekly.

“You try being photographed when you don’t know it’s happening, when you’re on holiday with your kids,” Driver tweeted to her almost 82,000 followers on Wednesday.

She then went on to say that she would be “out of this Twittersphere for while”.

Just days earlier, the About A Boy star had been gushing about Twitter in an interview with ABC News, exclaiming that it was where she got all her news from.

“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,” she said. “It's given a little bit of control back, I love it.”
