Chrissy Teigen has always been open about her personal life, sharing glimpses of her daily routine with her family and partner, John Legend. However, being as transparent as she has been also exposes her to people’s judgments, particularly about her physical appearance. Recently, Teigen faced mockery for supposedly altering her face. But she confidently stood up for herself, shutting down all the critics who targeted her body and image.

She’s always very candid on social media.

Chrissy Teigen isn’t just an average model or entrepreneur. She’s got some serious game when it comes to ruling the online world. Not only does Chrissy Teigen give us a sneak peek into her professional life, but she also lets us in on what goes down behind the scenes. Her social media feed is a window into the fabulous world she lives in.

Part of the reason for her massive appeal is the incredible bond that Chrissy Teigen shares with the talented singer, John Legend. They have 3 kids together: Miles, Luna, and the newest addition, Esti.

Teigen frequently treats her Instagram followers to adorable photos and videos of her family, capturing precious moments of sibling bonding. However, she has also been honest with her fans during challenging times, like bravely sharing the experience of her pregnancy loss before welcoming Esti.

In 2020, they joyfully announced their third baby’s arrival. However, things took a heartbreaking turn when complications arose, leading to the loss of their little boy. “We are in the kind of deep pain you only hear about,” the couple shared with their fans.

But, amidst the pain and loss, Chrissy consistently maintained her candid nature, aiming to inspire others who have shared a similar experience to hers.

People criticized her look, particularly her alleged “new face.”

She fearlessly flaunts her looks with or without makeup and openly talks about her cosmetic surgeries. But beauty always generates buzz online, and Chrissy is no exception. Indeed, recently, rumors about her changing her face have sparked criticism.

A user took on Instagram, and posted a picture of Chrissy, followed by the caption: “Look how your face could become if you’re doing it wrong!” The user claimed that the comments were not meant to be malicious, but instead they intended to initiate a discussion on the excessive use of fillers.

Chrissy stood up for herself and her image.

The 37-year-old refused to let false rumors spread on the internet, so she took to her own Instagram story to address the unfounded claim made by a user about her “new face” being the outcome of excessive fillers.

Teigen swiftly responded, drawing attention to the user’s claim of “no mean intentions” by saying, “No mean intentions? But saying this could be your face if you do it wrong. I gained weight.”

Teigen took it a step further and shared some of the negative comments from the post, where critics went as far as claiming that she had “ruined her face.”

Now that Teigen is a mother of 3, it’s completely normal for her physical appearance to change. Just like many other women, she’s gone through transformations over time. It’s unfortunate that she receives criticism for these changes, but her decision to stand up for herself and others who have experienced similar transformations shows how real and down-to-earth she is.

Nobody, not even those in the public eye, should have to endure harassment based on their appearance. This is especially true for new mothers who have just experienced the incredible miracle of giving birth. Like Chrissy, many other celebrities have undergone amazing changes during pregnancy, becoming even more beautiful than ever.
