Chrissy Teigen pushed back against criticism over tweeting about accidentally ordering $13,000 wine.- "Not everything I say on my twitter is going to be relatable to you," the cookbook author wrote in response.
- Teigen also said that she was feeling anxious and sad since her late baby's due date was this week.
Chrissy Teigen defended herself after fans leveled criticisms at her for being "relatable to no one" after she tweeted about accidentally ordering a $13,000 wine.
The "Cravings" author responded to the backlash, which swelled at the same time she announced her late baby Jack would have been born this week, in several tweets.
"not everything I say on my twitter is going to be relatable to you because it is my life and my twitter and my stories," Teigen wrote in one tweet. In another, she said she was feeling "anxious" and "sad," and was experiencing a "rough week."
One of her tweets also pointed out how followers were coming after her just as she was publicly mourning the death of her unborn child, who she miscarried in September due to pregnancy complications.

Teigen even told her followers to "have fun" ganging up on her, and shared a screenshot of her name trending on Twitter with the caption, "worst nightmare."

The model inadvertently kicked off the drama by asking her followers on Wednesday, "what's the most expensive thing you've eaten that you thought sucked?"
In a follow-up tweet, Teigen revealed that she and husband John Legend had once ordered a $13,000 bottle of wine on accident while dining at a restaurant.

But Teigen's followers took issue with the fact that the cookbook author was seemingly flaunting her wealth in the midst of a recession and global pandemic.

And while some people defended Teigen from the backlash, she became a trending topic on Twitter Wednesday afternoon, with numerous users calling her "insensitive" for sharing the anecdote, and thousands of others making jokes or comments about Teigen's wealth.
The criticisms against Teigen came the same day as she shared an emotional tweet remembering her late son.

In the tweet, Teigen said she was experiencing "kicks" in her belly ahead of a planned endometriosis surgery - reminding her of her baby, who she lost after being hospitalized for excessive bleeding.
"my little jack would have been born this week so I'm a bit off," the cookbook author wrote on Wednesday. "I truly feel kicks in my belly, but it's not phantom."

In a subsequent tweet, she shared a video of her stomach moving, apparently due to period cramps. "I'll pretend it's him saying hi - it never stops," Teigen captioned the clip.
