Teigen addressed the TikTok account in a video posted to her Instagram story. "Hey, yes that's my TikTok. It's the drumstick, chrissy.teigen. Someone has my other account, I don't care, I don't want to be verified. If you follow it... uh, I feel bad for you."
She reposted one of her new TikTok videos in an Instagram post, writing in the caption, "Am I doing this right. Very old. So many buttons ??????"
Teigen is known for her online presence, and after taking a break from social media in September 2020, has resumed regular posting on Twitter and Instagram along with the new TikTok account.
Recently, her name was trending on Twitter after she posted about accidentally ordering a $13,000 bottle of wine at a restaurant. Teigen responded to criticism of the tweet, saying that "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," noting that it had been a "rough week" after she publicly mourned the death of her unborn child.
