PHOTOSChrissy Teigen Apologizes After Fans Call Out Her ‘Tone Deaf’ Joke About Her Mom
Chrissy Teigen’s fans aren’t too happy with her! On Wednesday, November 5, Chrissy, 33, published a tweet about her mom Vilailuck “Pepper” Teigen not understanding the value of air pods. Shortly after, fans called Chrissy “tone deaf,” which caused her to issue an apology.
"My mom treats her air pods like they're disposable. Buys a few a month. She says they would be easier to not lose if they had....a cord," Chrissy wrote. Following that tweet, fans pointed out that Chrissy was flaunting her family’s wealth.
Chrissy wrote, "Oh man, I haven’t checked my mentions for a bit and I didn’t realize how many people were super pissed off about this. It was meant as a joke (and exaggeration) about how my mom doesn’t realize air pods are with a cord are headphones but it came across as super tone deaf and icky."
In another tweet, Chrissy added that she hates letting her fans down. “I promise I will not always say the right thing in the right way but I also promise I hate disappointing or pissing you guys off. I’m sorry and I will do better to not be such an a**hole,” she wrote.
Although some fans accepted the mother of two’s apology, others were not having it. “It's not about how you said it. It's the fact that some people are starving while others can treat $150 air pods as disposable. I love you Chrissy but seriously, stop pretending this is about tone and start campaigning for wealth redistribution,” one fan wrote.
For her response, Chrissy pointed out that she is sorry once again. “You keep saying this as if my husband John Legend and I don’t do anything for society and it’s really disheartening,” she said to the fan. “It was a comment, a joke, a dumb one at that, that I’m sorry for. I hope we have done and continue to do things that contribute more than a dumb tweet. Again, I apologize.”
On Tuesday, November 5, Chrissy’s parents Ron Teigen and Vilailuck filed for divorce in Los Angeles, California. The reason for the former couple’s split has not been announced.
