What to Know About the Twitter Feud That Led Chrissy Teigen to Make Her Account Private
“Calling my kids Petri dish babies or making up flight manifests with my name on them to ‘Epstein island,’ to justify someone else’s disdain with me seems gross to me so I’m gonna take a little break.”
After tweeting and then deleting a joke she made about Megan Thee Stallion, Chrissy Teigen is now issuing an apology to the rapper.
On Friday, in response to a one-liner — "I have a Charles Manson joke and it kills" — that TV writer Nell Scovell shared on Twitter, the Cravings author tried a play on words of her own that didn't go over so well, writing: "I have a megan thee stallion joke but it needs to be twerked on."
Fans instantly called Teigen out for being insensitive, given that Megan was recently shot and has asked for compassion during her recovery.
This is fucked up Chrissy, what happened to megan the stallion was very traumatic and right now we should only be wishing her support and love, especially when speaking on her name.

That joke format could literally have worked with Lizzo, Cardi, Nicky, yet you chose Megan at a time when she's literally being harassed and taunted with insensitive jokes.

Since @chrissyteigen “loves” Megan so much she could’ve hopped on her 13 million follower platform to say, Megan is recovering from a gunshot trauma, pls send her love and healing vibes. But instead she decided to make Megan the butt of a corny ass joke. And that speaks volumes.

At first, she defended the joke, tweeting, "I'll delete because you guys are sooooo f—ing annoying. Just unfollow me you absolute tools.” Teigen then set her account to private. However, the next day, she acknowledged that her humor was off-base, and apologized to her critics in a string of tweets.

“I used the play on words joke with a celeb and something their known for with meg and twerking and I should have known that it is just not the right time especially for something so dumb and sh—y and pointless as the joke was," she wrote. "Making anyone feel reminded of a terrible time or letting you guys down sucks more than anything to me so I am sorry to Megan and anyone who thought this was about the incident at all."
She ended her statement with, “You’ll say someone else wrote this or that I don’t mean it and that’s always the punishment for having said it in the first place so I’ll take it.”
Megan has yet to respond to Chrissy's apology.
