AceShowbiz - Chrissy Teigen has reached her breaking point with online hate comments. In a series of candid Instagram Stories, Teigen, 39, expressed her frustration with the "miserable" people who leave venomous comments on her social media posts.
Reflecting on a time before the digital era, she called for a return to the days when people didn't "take the time to type" their mean-spirited thoughts.
"Stop being miserable," Teigen implored. "Honestly, like, what happened to just thinking things? Remember thinking things?"
She reminisced about an era when people would critique celebrities in magazines and move on, without the need to broadcast their negativity to the world.
"You'd go through a magazine, you'd be like, 'Oh, that person looks like s***. Ugh, I would never have that haircut. Blegh, those teeth suck.' We all do it, but we used to do it to, like, magazines, and then we spit it out and it would go into the universe and it would disappear," she said.
She pointed out specific examples, such as comments belittling people for feeling good about themselves, "Somebody's like, 'Feeling really good about myself today,' and you're like, 'Guh, you shouldn't feel good about yourself because you look like s*** and your backyard looks dumb.' "
Addressing the numerous comments about her appearance, particularly her cheeks and lips, Teigen adopted a sarcastic tone to mimic her critics as she recounted some of the mean comments, "Her cheeks look too filled. Why would she fill her cheeks like that? Why would she do her lips like that? Ugh, I would never. I would never. I would never, that's so gross."
She urged people to keep their negative thoughts private, "Just say those things inside, in your head. Say them inside your big brain. Your big brain is so ready for all your thoughts, but you don't let them keep anything in because you're spewing them out."
Teigen, who is married to singer John Legend and mother to four children - Luna Simone, 8, Miles Theodore, 6, Esti Maxine, 2, and Wren Alexander, 18 months - made it clear that she does not wish to be a subject of public scrutiny. "I don't ever want to be the example of anything. Like, I want to float through the middle, you guys," she stated.
Her impassioned plea concluded with a moment of reflection, "If this is it, like, I know, why would I consciously choose to do that? Do you think that I'm just like, 'I'm bored. Can people talk about me in a terrible way?' Uh, yeah, okay."
This isn't the first time Teigen has responded to online criticism. In February, she clapped back at comments about the appearance of a coconut milk bath she shared on Instagram, which some critics mistook for dirty water.
In an age where the digital sphere is supercharged with negativity, Teigen's call serves as a powerful reminder to be more considerate and mindful online.
