Is RuPaul in need of any internet break?

The 59-year-old host of RuPaul’s Drag Race seemingly deleted her official Instagram and Twitter accounts yesterday (July 02, 2020).

Her 4.2 million Instagram and 1 million Twitter followers are quite confused. It has been quite a while since Ru has been active on social media.

As of yet, RuPaul has not given a reason for her abrupt exit from social media, but it should be noted that the Drag Race host was largely absent from social media even before wiping his accounts, during both the onset of the coronavirus pandemic as well as the Black Lives Matter movement.

Currently RuPaul is still appearing regularly as the host of season five of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, airing weekly on VH1.

On late Wednesday afternoon, @crisslovato noticed something suspicious about RuPaul’s Instagram account. The Twitter user recorded how each post was being deleted one by one.

Here is a sampling of some of the Twitter reactions to her missing accounts.

After a 3-month hiatus from social media, RuPaul has now deleted every single post from his Instagram account. On Twitter, @RuPaul has also deleted several tweets.

There has been no official statement to justify these measures. pic.twitter.com/mVEO4hhQyh

.@RuPaul deleted all Instagram posts and all twitter posts for past year. Hacked? New album? Just in time for Emmy voting?

Kameron said she’s taking a break off social media and no clue about RuPaul

Kameron is on a break because people are being mean to her in her post comments for no reason at all and it’s bringing her down 🙁

She never really posted a lot on IG and even before lockdown has admitted as not being too fond or keen with social media. I have this theory that she is pissed with 2020 ,because she’s been forced to stop working and stay home. Before COVID, Ru was always working on something!
