Chrissy Teigen is still dealing with her grief four months after losing her and John Legend’s the baby they were expecting – and she’s clapping back at people who are criticizing her tweet sharing her new hobby.
Over the weekend, Chrissy revealed on Twitter that she’s learning horseback riding after her therapist suggested she take up a new hobby.
“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. He’s so handsome and appears lazy, I love,” she wrote alongside a photo of a beautiful brown horse with a white nose.
“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,” one user responded to her tweet.
Chrissy addressed the tweet directly, writing, “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?”
When another Twitter-user suggested she’d been “poisoned by wealth and privilege,” Chrissy replied, “Why are you guys reading into this so much? The boredom.”
And when the Twitter user suggested she didn’t understand how her tweet about her new hobby might rub people the wrong way, Chrissy wrote back, “I do understand. What do you want from me, an essay about me, thinking about you? It’s my Twitter. I’m talking about me?”
Back in September, Chrissy shared the heartbreaking news that they lost their third child, whom they named Jack, due to pregnancy complications. She’s since opened about her loss and the grief that came with it on social media and penned an emotional essay about her experience. She also revealed that she’ll “never” be pregnant again.
“I’m proud of where this entire journey took my body and mind in other ways. I love being pregnant, so so much, and I’m sad I never will be again,” she captioned a photo of herself with a small bump. “But I am lucky to have two amazing little ones who are transforming into big little people more and more every single day.”
“This is me and my body, just yesterday. Even though I’m no longer pregnant, every glance in the mirror reminds me of what could have been,” she added. “And I have no idea why I still have this bump, honestly. It’s frustrating.”
