LONDON – November 2, 2015 — (UPI) — Kate Winslet said she has banned the use of social media inside her home primarily because she believes it isn’t good for young women’s self-esteem.
The Oscar-winning actress opened up about the ban in an interview with the Sunday Times mentioning how social media can negatively impact young women.
“It has a huge impact on young women’s self-esteem, because all they ever do is design themselves for people to like them,” Winslet said. “And what comes along with that? Eating disorders. And that makes my blood boil. And is the reason we don’t have any social media in our house.”
The 40-year-old star who is the mother to daughter Mia, 15, and sons Joe 11, and 22-month-old Bear discussed how she and husband Ned Rocknroll have tried to cut down on their family’s usage of phone and tablets by encouraging their kids to play outside and partake more in family activities.
Winslet last made headlines in September when she opened up about her previous marriages.
