Kendall Jenner didn't realize when she impulsively deleted her Instagram account over the weekend -- it would be headline-making news, but that's just what it was.

The 21-year-old stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday and explained why she hopped of the social media platform.

The model told the 58-year-old, “I just wanted to detox. I felt like I just wanted a little bit of a break. I’m always on it. … I would wake up in the morning and I would look at it first thing, I would go to bed and it was the last thing I would look at."

The 21-year-old added, “I felt a little too dependent on it, so I kinda wanted to take a minute to detox.”

We think that sounds pretty healthy! Maybe she should encourage her sister Kylie to do that -- she's practically stapled to her phone!

Kenny, who also insisted that this is just a break and she'll be back on the app soon enough, also said she was shocked that her decision became such a big deal.

The reality star admitted, “My friends kept texting me and my family members, and I was like, How does everyone know? And they kept sending me links to, like, CNN and all these things and I was like, Why is this even that big of a deal?” “It’s so crazy.”

We're glad that Kendall Jenner's social media status is the biggest thing that the news outlet has to deal with right now ...
