Chrissy Teigen's Clapback at Trump
Twitter eventAbout
Chrissy Teigen's notable Twitter exchange with Donald Trump occurred in September 2019. The incident began when Trump criticized John Legend and Teigen in a series of tweets about criminal justice reform. Trump referred to Teigen as Legend's "filthy mouthed wife," suggesting they were taking credit for his administration's work on the First Step Act without contributing to its passage. This act was a bipartisan effort aimed at reforming the criminal justice system by allowing early release for nonviolent offenders and easing some sentencing rules. Teigen responded with a colorful insult, calling Trump a "pussy ass bitch" and noting that he had tagged everyone but her in his tweet. Her response quickly gained traction on Twitter, with hundreds of thousands of likes and the hashtags #TeamChrissy and #filthymouthedwife trending. The exchange highlighted Teigen's reputation for sharp comebacks and her willingness to engage with public figures on social media. The incident also drew attention from other celebrities and political figures, with some criticizing Trump's behavior towards private citizens.
