Chrissy Teigen turns the table on body shaming with Instagram post

Unlike most stars who are muzzled on social media by their high profiles, Chrissy Teigen is unafraid of airing her views, taking on critics or sparring with the likes of Donald Trump

In her latest riposte, the model challenged those leaving comments on her Instagram page about her body after sharing a picture of her Sports Illustrated magazine shoot. 

Teigen shared one picture taken from her shoot of herself in swimwear. In a second image from the shoot, she added: “The @si_swimsuit edition is on stands tooooo-day! (Shoutout to everyone dissecting every little part of my bod in the last comment thread, you're all really wonderful, kind, flawless beauties - I can tell from your pages!!”

Teigen, who is expecting a baby with her husband John Legend, also demonstrated her knack for shutting down misdirected disapproval in December after one questioned her in a now-deleted tweet asking: “Doesn’t anyone get married before starting a family?“

In October, she resorted to telling followers to “get out of my uterus” after being bombarded with tweets suggesting she could be carrying twins because of one picture of her stomach.
