Chrissy Teigen is no stranger to fighting over Twitter, but it looks like this time she’ll be skipping her standard savage clapbacks and sticking to other forms of social media after locking her account following the latest drama.
Chrissy’s decision to set her Twitter to private comes after food writer Alison Roman unintentionally started a feud.
In an interview with The New Consumer , Alison Roman got herself into hot water when she mentioned Teigen: “What Chrissy Teigen has done is so crazy to me,” Alison said .
“She had a successful cookbook.”
“And then it was like: Boom, line at Target. Boom, now she has an Instagram page that has over a million followers where it’s just, like, people running a content farm for her.”
“That horrifies me and it’s not something that I ever want to do. I don’t aspire to that.”
Chrissy was made aware of Alison’s comments and took to Twitter to respond, saying that reading it was “a huge bummer,” and that she had been nothing but supportive to Alison.
Chrissy added that she had no idea she was “perceived that way.”
Chrissy also pointed out that Alison had also brought up Marie Kondo, saying that Marie selling products was “completely antithetical to everything she’s ever taught you,” and that she had “sold out immediately.”
“It has been crappy to deal with this all day but I couldn’t not say something,” Chrissy continued.
“I know the actual tears I put into the work I do and it’s really hard to see someone try to completely invalidate it. Someone I really liked,” she added.
Once the story picked up steam, there were a lot of people who had opinions.
Chrissy also received tons of backlash on Twitter after Alison’s comments were publicized, with many pointing out their own reasons for disliking her.
Some questioned why she would have made her account private despite having millions of followers.
“Chrissy Teigen locking her tweets when she has 12.8 million followers reminds me of when Miley asked the entire state of Tennessee to keep the secret that she’s Hannah Montana,” one fan tweeted .
Chrissy went on to outline the insults she had been receiving online, including calling her children “Petri dish babies.”
“This is what always happens. The first day, a ton of support, then the next, 1 million reasons as to why you deserved this. It never fails.”
Following these tweets, Chrissy set her Twitter to private, although she has since unlocked her account.
Chrissy explained why she had locked her account in the first palce.
