Chrissy Teigen reacts to troll's IVF question: 'Did you bother trying to conceive naturally?'
We don't blame her for writing this strongly-worded tweet in response...
Chrissy Teigen is known for her tell-it-like-it-is attitude… and we love for it ?
But unfortunately she had to use her powers to shut down a troll who posted a very rude question about her fertility and use of IVF treatments on Twitter.
For those of you who don’t already know: model Chrissy and singer husband John Legend have been very open about their use of IVF, which helped them to conceive their daughter Luna, who Chrissy gave birth to on 14 April 2016.
Since then, Chrissy’s openly admitted that she and John purposefully selected a female embryo for that pregnancy - and that their final frozen embryo is male, meaning if all went well, their next child would be a boy.
And in true Chrissy-style, she’s been keeping her 3.84 million Twitter followers up to date - most recently clarifying the above and letting her fans know that she’s not currently expecting.
But shortly after posting her update, she was faced with this, from Twitter user @cecelia1555:
“Did you give it a minute to try naturally or are you avoiding 'the act?' At least no political rants!”
Whoa, whoa, whoa… what?
Chrissy’s no doubt used to being asked personal questions - especially since she shares so much with her fans online - but we couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw this.
Imagine asking that to anyone, let alone someone you don’t even know - when you have no idea what they might have gone through?
It’s also especially ridiculous given that Chrissy’s already been quite clear about how she and John have struggled to conceive naturally for many years.
Fortunately, Chrissy didn’t seem to let it get under her skin (which seems to be the question's intention) - though she also didn’t let the troll get away with it, clapping back with:
"Hi Linda, thanks for asking, you complete witch. I tried for about 9 years. Anything else, let me know!”
Is that a mic drop? We think that’s a mic drop ? ?
