Chrissy Teigen has gone viral on social media this week for reminding one of her critics that she "lost a baby", after receiving some backlash for earlier stating that she "has nothing" to do for herself.
Chrissy first revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage back in October - telling fans that she'd been rushed to the hospital after experiencing heavy bleeding.
In a statement posted to their social media accounts the day after her admission, Chrissy and her husband John Legend broke the tragic news that their third child had died.
The couple wrote: "We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we've never felt before.
"We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn't enough."
They continued: "We never decide on our babies' names until the last possible moment after they're born, just before we leave the hospital. But we, for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack.
"So he will always be Jack to us. Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever.
"To our Jack - I'm so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications, that we couldn't give you the home you needed to survive. We will always love you."
Per The Metro, the 35-year-old inadvertently provoked controversy on Saturday, January 6, sharing an image of a horse she intended on riding with her 13.5 million Twitter followers.
Chrissy captioned the post:
"My therapist says I need something that I do for just me, as I have absolutely nothing currently lol. Today begins my journey into the horse world. I hope this dude likes me [sic] he’s so handsome and appears lazy, I love him. [sic]"
But one Twitter user appeared to take umbrage over Chrissy's tweet, mistakenly believing that she had bought the horse, commenting:
"A lot of people are unemployed and struggling to feed their family in the midst of a pandemic. Maybe now isn't a great time to say you 'have nothing' so you bought a horse to entertain yourself."
However, Chrissy had a reply ready for them and retorted: "a lot of u really misinterpreted this tweet and I guess that’s on me. I didn’t say I have nothing, I said I have nothing I do for just me.
"A convo with a therapist. A hobby. Cause I lost a baby. And I’m figuring myself out. And i didn’t buy a horse. But oh my god, what if I did? [sic]"
It's clear that the loss of her child has had a serious effect on Chrissy's mental health, and in December she said that she will: "never be pregnant again" in an Instagram post.
