Kelly Marie Tran isnt going anywhere except maybe on social media.

The former Star Wars actor wiped her Instagram account in June 2018 due to months of racist and sexist online harassment after becoming the franchises first woman of color in a lead role. And she told The Hollywood Reporter in a profile published Wednesday that its unlikely that shell resurrect her once very-relatable account.

Ive truly just been so much happier without being on the internet, she told the magazine. Ive had my agents tell me [Im] forgoing brand partnerships, but Im not here to sell flat-tummy tea to young girls.

When the world first met Kelly Marie Tran, she was the girl who had won a golden ticket and wanted to bring everyone along on her tour of the chocolate factory. Then 'The Last Jedi' came out, and everything changed for the 'Star Wars' star https://t.co/10wn5hYqhV pic.twitter.com/dx5WxDJFag

Aside from the jab at members of the Kardashian klan, who have been criticized for hawking questionable dietary products on social media, the Vietnamese American actor does admit to some kind of online activity, however.

Tran who will become Disneys next animated princess when Raya and the Last Dragon debuts in theaters and Disney+ Friday engages in something she describes as one-sided social media, in which she keeps herself informed on current events and trending topics. But she also says she imposes extreme limits on herself when reading any kind of criticism about her work.
