The former reality star said that she "hides" from social media and is now planning on taking on a break from it altogether. She wrote: "Right now I'm done. Tonight has really made me realise a lot. I don't want to talk. I don't want to explain myself. "When I'm ready I will be back and I will explain, but for right now I'm taking time out I hope you all can understand that and support me in this time. https://www.instagram.com/p/CXogvxfsBqQ/ "I love you all and thank you everyone who has always supported me on this crazy journey. But for right now I need time to process things." In a later post, Belle explained that there is CCTV footage of the incident which is being sent to her.
