Social media can make modern breakups tricky — just ask Britney Spears [1]. Britney and Charlie Ebersol have reportedly broken up [2] after eight months together, and as a quick scan of Britney's Instagram page [3] reveals, the news is almost certainly legit.

It appears that the singer has deleted every trace of Charlie from her account. The purge was a pretty tall order, too — since the singer first shared a snap of her with Charlie in November 2014, she documented their relationship frequently on Instagram [4]. Tell us what you think: is deleting an ex from Instagram [5] the best move postbreakup?
