Nessa Barrett explains why she took a step back from \u2018poisonous\u2019 social media Instagram: nessabarrettTikToker and singer Nessa Barrett has explained why she needed to distance herself from social media due to its impact on her mental health, ahead of the release of her EP \u2018Pretty Poison.\u2019 In her time on social media, Nessa Barrett has accumulated over 16 million TikTok followers, who have been hugely supportive of her flourishing career in music. Barrett became the center of some huge drama back in April, after it emerged that she had got together with Jaden Hossler, causing drama among them and their exes, Mads Lewis and Josh Richards. The pair came under an enormous amount of criticism online for making their relationship public so soon after the drama, and although the noise has since died down, it has no doubt had a lasting effect. On Zach Sang\u2019s podcast, Nessa opened up about her reason for naming her upcoming EP \u2018Pretty Poison,\u2019 and it all comes back to the influencer world. \u201cThe title \u2018Pretty Poison\u2019 kind of represents my life,\u201d she said. \u201cI have a huge following, and I get so many comments saying like, \u2018oh, I wish I were like you, I wish I lived your life, you\u2019re so lucky,\u2019 but kind of like the idea of \u2018Pretty Poison\u2019 itself, it seems so beautiful on the outside, but until you\u2019re in it it\u2019s so\u2026 it\u2019s poison. \u201cThat\u2019s kind of how my life is, and I truly do believe that no one really could walk a day in my shoes if they were me.\u201d Topic starts at -35:40 (17:20) Nessa went on to explain the kind of relationship she has with social media lately. \u201cRecently I\u2019ve struggled with it a lot, I felt like it was bringing my mental health down a ton. It just got to a point where I would just go on an app and just instantly cry from something that I saw. It was terrible,\u201d the singer said. She explained that she took about a month\u2019s break from it, having her team post for her instead, occasionally borrowing her manager\u2019s phone to post something quickly. Nessa has been open about her mental health in her music previously, and it seems as though many fans are looking forward to new releases from the star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
