Read More Chrissy Teigen misses the time when people kept their mean thoughts to themselves. A time before the internet gave everyone an instant megaphone to pass judgments. On Saturday, March 15, the model and cookbook author, 39, posted her frustration with what she called “miserable" people going out of their way to leave hateful comments.
She recalled the day’s people had negative thoughts but didn’t feel compelled to type them out and send them into the world. “Stop being miserable," Teigen said at the start of her video. Then, with exasperation, she asked, “Honestly, like, what happened to just thinking things? Remember thinking things?" She talked of the past before social media became an open forum for unsolicited negativity.
Back then, she said, people might flip through a magazine, have a critical thought – maybe about a celebrity’s haircut or teeth and then move on. “We all do it. But we used to do it too, like, magazines and then we spit it out and it would go into the universe and it would disappear," she admitted.
Now, however, people don’t just think these things—they take the time to type them. And that’s what baffles Teigen the most. “Just do that.
Like, what the f*** is wrong with you?" she suggested, referring to keeping those thoughts internal. She didn’t say whether a particular comment had triggered her frustration this time, but she did offer a few examples of the kind of negativity people spew online. She said, “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.
’" At one point, Teigen directly addressed some of the comments she had seen about her face, especially her cheeks. Switching to a sarcastic tone, she imitated her critics: “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 then urged people to exercise a little self-restraint.
“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.
Keep those big, beautiful thoughts to yourself. Keep them inside," she added. Teigen also poked fun at the idea that she deliberately made cosmetic choices just to give people something to talk about.
“I know it makes you feel better to think that you’re the only one with eyes, but, like, why would I fill my cheeks to the point where people talked about my cheeks? I don’t ever want to be an example of anything. Like, I want to float through the middle, you guys," she asked. She wrapped up her rant with a big smile, putting her cheeks on full display and added one last sarcastic thought: “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." Teigen has never been one to stay silent when it comes to online trolls. Last month, she had a quick clapback for critics who took issue with the appearance of her bathwater.
In February, she posted a sweet Instagram picture of herself and her three youngest children – Wren Alexander, 18 months, Esti Maxine, 2 and Miles Theodore, 6, sitting together in the bath. But instead of focusing on the adorable moment, some followers zeroed in on the water, questioning why it looked “dirty." Teigen wasn’t having it.
She promptly shut down the criticism, explaining, “It’s a coconut milk bath for sensitive skin but go off!" Whether it’s about bathwater or her own face, Teigen has made one thing clear – she’s not here for unsolicited opinions and she’d really like people to start keeping some of their thoughts to themselves..
