Danielle Bregoli, who was made famous as the "cash me outside" girl on Dr. Phil, announced in a since-deleted Instagram post on Tuesday that she's taking a break from Instagram. She's now a rapper who goes by Bhad Bhabie, and she wrote a long post explaining her reasons for stepping away at this time.

"Due to my mental health I will b taking a small break from this app," she wrote.

"I hate to say it but y'all won! Congrats mission complete! y'all made the lil 16 year old completely loose it!" she continued. "Social media has not only made me who I am but also is every reason I can’t sleep at night."

"Imagine being called a racist white c--t very second of they day. I show off a tattoo they say I’m tryna b black… I defend myself then boom I'm labeled a racist," she said.

"Everything I do will b considered wrong… image being me for a second — you just get a cute new wig and wanna show it off then the minute you post your mood is instantly killed bc your comment section if flooded with 'this s— wants to be black so bad' while wearing a straight blonde wig… this s— is really draining," Bregoli continued.
