Olivia Newton-John's Daughter Chloe Lattanzi Quits Instagram
Chloe Lattanzi doesn't have time for the comment section.
Grease star and singer Olivia Newton-John announced on Tuesday, May 30, 2017 that she would suspend her current tour to fight a resurgence of breast cancer. Her daughter, Chloe Lattanzi, quickly took to Instagram to keep fans updated and to encourage support.
"Cancer is the disease of our generation and it is a part of my and mother's quest to beat this insidious monster. We both love you all, and anyone fighting this disease you can beat it. Look for natural remedies as well as what modern medicine can offer. My mom is so powerful she will beat this in no time," Lattanzi posted to Instagram on Wednesday, according to Fox News.
But by the next day, Lattanzi had already had her fill of social media, particularly her Instagram, which she has since set to private.
In her final two posts, reprinted by People, Lattanzi indicated that she was "getting fed up with negative feedback in her comments section."
"Some woman commented that I couldn't post happy pictures of myself because of what my mother is going through. I am so sad and no one has any idea what I am going through," Lattanzi posted before changing her account status.
"I don't want my life to be public and this [is] the greatest struggle a daughter could go through. And the last thing I need is someone telling me that I can't distract myself and post normal creative pics on my Instagram," she continued.
Lattanzi also recognized the struggle of dealing with health issues in the public eye.
"My mom is fine and the one thing she told me is to keep being creative positive and take my mind off anything negative [sic]. My mom and I are humans and unfortunately my mother's cancer has to be everyone's buisness [sic]. You could never imagine how much we just want to be alone. And not have to deal with the world's opinions of how we deal with this. I'm going to leave my Instagram for a while. Not. Because Im [sic] ashamed that I posted a pic that wasn't to do with my mom, but because I'm angry. Angry that there are such incredibly insensitive a**holes out there making me feel ashamed of trying to feel normal. Good bye for a while," she wrote.
Despite her anger, Lattanzi did try to exit on a positive note.
In a second post, she wrote, "Just so guys can see she's fine. Thriving and well. I promise," Lattanzi wrote with a video she posted. "She'll beat this in like 3 months! Go mama! I love you! It's hard for me to stay off here. Because of all the support and love I get from you guys. I'll miss you. I'll be back soon. Just wanted U to see my mamas great! And set your worries at ease. Much love your chloe rose."
