Celebs have such a love/hate relationship with Twitter!
On October 5, Fifth Harmony‘s Lauren Jauregui became another star to temporarily quit Twitter after getting into an argument with fans.

For those who missed the drama, Lauren got majorly pissed off after her followers called her out for endorsing third party candidate Dr. Jill Stein.
The alternative presidential hopeful is a controversial choice considering a lot of people feel the November vote shouldn’t be split any further given the high stakes of the election. Some Americans even feel that Stein is taking advantage of our depressing political climate to further her own career.
Either way, the beauty’s gushing endorsement didn’t go over so well despite her good intentions. Check out the offending tweets (below)!
Did you know there’s a Woman named Dr. Jill Stein yes DOCTOR who is beautifully educated and actually cares about people instead of money?

Did you also know she’s running for president?!

So sad that she didn’t get a proper debate or even the ability to let people know she was here..and HERE TO HELP.

Well, at least L.J. is passionate! You can’t knock the singer for having views and being involved!
Following the entertainer’s messages, fans were quick to attack her opinions:
@LaurenJauregui you honestly think that a Doctor is more qualified than a woman who has been in politics for 30 years? I need an answer

@LaurenJauregui A DOCTOR WHO BELIEVES IN HOMEOPATHY AND NOT VACCINES

@LaurenJauregui Endorsing third parties is irresponsible when the liberal vote can be split and the actual fascist can slip in

Yikes…
Understandably, the backlash was too overwhelming for Lauren and she quickly tried to clarify her comments before ultimately LOSING IT:
I am definitely with Her for the sake of not having Him in the White House, however, my point was to shed light on things purposefully muted

Some of you are so mean damn..like yeah, I didn’t know about Jill..and I shared it with people and then like all of this crazy shit happened
— Lauren Jauregui (@LaurenJauregui) October 5, 2016
I’m taking a break from this shit. Y’all can have your fun and make whatever assumptions about my character you want.

I wait for the day this shit doesn’t affect me as much as it does, goodnight├ó┼ô┼Æ├░┼╕┬Å┬╝├»┬╕┬Å

Aw! This sounds like one big misunderstanding.
While we were a bit worried about the 22-year-old following her angry departure, her absence didn’t last for long. On Thursday the Miami native was back to tweeting upbeat and playful messages.
All’s well that ends well, we guess! We’re glad Lauren moved past the drama.
So, what do YOU think of Jauregui’s tweets?
