María Becerra, the singer from Quilmes who became an international success, announced that she is leaving social media to preserve her “mental health” following successive attacks that she described as “offensive”, “toxic” and “horrible”. She also said that from now on, someone she “trusts” will be in charge of managing her personal accounts.
Despite the success she has had with her musical hits, and her charismatic personality that brings her closer to her fans in a special way, “La Nena de Argentina” is another of the Argentine artists who cannot control the waves of hate that shake like a tidal wave the most popular social networks, such as X or Instagram.
According to what X said on Tuesday in a series of posts, the criticism and harassment he receives on a daily and unjustified basis weighs on his conscience and self-esteem, which is why he decided to distance himself from these platforms for a while.

“I’m leaving this social network,” was the blunt phrase with which Becerra began his statement. “I have struggled a lot with my mental health on this tour in Europe, it all feels horrible, I experienced everything from crying fits to anxiety and panic attacks,” he said.
The leader of the country’s new cumbia and reggaeton detailed with disgust which were the attacks that crossed her tolerance limit: “It’s waking up every day and reading thousands of offensive things about me, talking about my personal life, my tastes in clothing, as if I were committing a crime and deserved the worst, when it’s only MY TASTE in clothing. They mess with my physique daily, with everything!”
Along these lines, the singer of “El amor de mi vida” said she was aware that criticism “is part of fame” and that it will continue to happen, but she stressed: “I am not going to continue being a masochist.”
“I understand that many want to help me and advise me, and you more than anyone know that I listen to you and I care a lot about what you think, but getting to the point of insulting me like you do is unacceptable to me. I will not continue to tolerate this because it hurts me VERY BAD” (sic), he said.

Meanwhile, the 24-year-old singer thanked her followers for their messages of support and affection, and explained: “I’m going to detox from this social network and from all of them. I’m going to leave my Instagram in the hands of my trusted person so they can upload things and that’s it.”
Finally, she said that she will return to the platforms when she “feels able to do so.” “For the moment it has only caused me anxiety and panic,” she concluded.
