Ashley Tisdale revealed why she has chosen to separate her private life from social media.
In a since deleted Instagram Story from Friday, the 39-year-old actress said she feels the need to scale back her presence on social media, especially when it comes to her young children.
The High School Musical star also blamed digital spaces for being dominated by and cultivating ‘judgment’ and ‘ᴀssumptions.’
‘As the world is getting loud, I find myself wanting to share less and less,’ she shared. ‘Maybe it’s because I don’t feel I can contribute in my positive way when everything feels so negative.’
The mother-of-two — who shares daughters Jupiter, three, and Emerson, five months, with husband Christopher French — said her decision was prompted by attempts ‘to protect my peace while navigating life with work and kids.’
‘I’ve been loving putting my phone down and being in the moment,’ the Disney Channel alum added.

‘Social media is such a blessing when you want to connect with everyone but can also be so noisy when used with judgment and ᴀssumptions,’ she finished the lengthy note.
