Why I Ran Away From Social Media – Ireti Doyle

Veteran Nollywood actress, Ireti Doyle, has cited the negativity and toxicity in online spaces as the reason for her recent break from social media.

The award-winning thespian, who had been away from Instagram for over a month, made a quiet return on Thursday, October 9, 2025.

The film star shared a heartfelt post explaining her need to retreat from the online space, urging fans to protect themselves.

In her words, “I used to wonder what I’d do with myself once I became an ‘empty nester.’ Now I know. Had to disappear again… The streets of SM (nay, the world in general) are becoming too toxic for my quiet soul. How have you been? I hope you’re protecting yourself.

Peace. #EmptyNest #AnotherSoloTrip #Abundance #Ease #Flow.”
