Trent Reznor Is A Twitter Quitter
August 2nd, 2009
Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor has explained why he pulled the pin on his Twitter account, blaming the deletion on “trolling, cowardly pigs.”
The musician decided to quit the social networking site after someone commented on the death of a fan that Reznor helped raise money for and he simply got sick of the harassment.
“Yes, I deleted my account and I’ll explain why since somehow someone apparently thinks this is newsworthy,” he wrote. “Around the time news broke of my engagement, a faction of troublemakers showed up whose sole intent was to disrupt, harass, insult and incite.”
Reznor was spammed with everything from racial slurs regarding the nationality of his West Indian fiance to people wanting him dead.
“It depresses me to think my art and life’s work can attract this kind of scum… “If that was your intention you trolling, cowardly pigs — you’ve succeeded.”
