Lexi Thompson’s Management Team Clarifies Her Social Media Hiatus

Last week, Lexi Thompson took to her Instagram account to announce that she was stepping away from social media for the foreseeable future. Her reasoning stemmed from the “hurtful things being said to me lately”.

Thompson is competing in this week’s LPGA Mediheal Championship in California.
