Chrissy Teigen isn’t too happy with VH1 after the network called her “a hypocrite” in an article titled “Chrissy Teigen Is Twitter’s Biggest Hypocrite.”
“Defending myself is being a hypocrite?” wrote the Lip Sync Battle host on Twitter. “I have never once randomly sought out someone out to attack.”
On Wednesday, the model went on a Twitter rant after a user questioned her marriage to singer John Legend. “People are such hating a**es these days. Go f**king be happy, please,” Teigen tweeted. “I cannot imagine being so f**king les mis all the time. Keep your personal sh*ttiness to yourself, let the rest of us be happy.”
VH1 wrote an article about the rant, criticizing the star for “adding fuel to the fire.” A portion of the post written by Taylor Ferber read: “I understand how incredibly frustrating and sad it could get receiving thoughtless hate from people who don’t know anything about you. That said, Chrissy is a public figure, (which, from the looks of it, has provided her with a very charmed life). And this is 2016, when everyone with a pulse thinks their words are as important as those of global leader…
..But if you really want to end cyberbullying, then how can you turn around and bully people, calling them names? Giving them reasons to be spiteful and get defensive? In my opinion, there are two options for someone as passionate about and effected by this as Chrissy is to really make a difference: speak to cyberbullying without cyberbullying or take the high road and ignore them.”
“Do you think that when you become a celebrity, someone poofs dust into your face and all your emotions are done away with?” Teigen wrote in response to the article, which has since been removed from the VH1 site. “Do you have any idea how much sh*t I read daily? And it’s my fault for reading it or ‘letting it get to me’?”
In another tweet, she wrote, “Why don’t you stop policing people’s emotions and learn what a hypocrite is.” Adding, “One could say you are bullying me in a vulnerable moment where I am clearly upset. But I don’t use that word so lightly.”
Teigen is known for being vocal on social media. She made headlines after calling Donald Trump a “twat” on Twitter and engaging in a full-scale Twitter feud with one user after expressing her support for Planned Parenthood.
