Erica took her sentiment by deciding to take a leave from social media for the meantime.
In her captured Instagram stories, Erica announced that she will be taking a break from social media for it already turned toxic and it was not as fun as it used to be anymore. But she made sure that this will only be in her personal accounts as she will still be posting updates about her cooking in her business account.
Despite the toxicity that their family is going through, she extends her gratitude to those who reached out, pouring some support and love to them. As a return, she assures that they are already dealing with it and hopes that soon everything will normalize.
Lastly, she added that though she is taking a break, she can still be reached by sending her a private message. She also left a note to the critics, to mind their own business and be nice, and instead of criticizing, why not post things that are beneficial to society.
