Minnie Driver opted to sport a bikini on the sandy beaches of Miami earlier this week, but after some social media meanies decided to criticize the 44-year-old’s beach bod, she decided to quit Twitter “for a while.”

"God some people are horrible: you try being photographed when you don't know it's happening, when you're on holiday with your kids," she tweeted. "I'm out of this Twittersphere for a while. It's too mean sometimes, about your body, about your soul. Not worth it."

The Academy Award-nominated star usually tweets frequently and was posting updates about her four-day trip. She shared a photo from a Miami Heat game and posted another picture from a balcony with palm trees in the background.

The bikini pictures of the “About a Boy” actress were first published on Tuesday.
