Chrissy Teigen leaves Twitter after gun control tweet
cnn.com ^ | 10/24/2014 | Breeanna Hare

Model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen is usually one of Twitter's more resilient members. But after getting lost in a "sea of hate and anger" on the platform, Teigen has tapped out.

The 28-year-old turned into a Twitter all-star after she joined in 2009, thanks to her irreverent sense of humor, prolific use and ability to tweet about pretty much anything.

But after getting a vitriolic response to her comments regarding the October 22 shootings in Ottawa, Ontario, Teigen posted that she's quitting Twitter for the (presumably) safer pastures of Instagram.

Here's what started it all: On Wednesday, as the shooting story unfolded, Teigen posted: "active shooting in Canada, or as we call it in america, wednesday. That's not a joke. It is a fact. ... I've lost faith in this world. Sorry if it comes off as being unemotional. There is just so much bad."

While I don't agree with actual threats against someone who is in disagreement with my beliefs, once you put something out there which you obviously haven't any knowledge of, expect to get slammed. But as usual with these "stars", they think their word is valid, opposers not so much. Kinda like bullying except they don't call it that.

The value of twitter is that the left can’t hide from opposition.

She still has her twitter account. I guess she has not really left.

When you live by the snide remark you should also expect payback.

“I’ve lost faith in this world.”

Then just do us all a favor and take the gas pipe.

what sticks out most to me and cheese me off the most is the way she capitalizes the C in Canada yet uses a lower case “a” for America...

LOL! What would you expect? Baldwin is still here along with all the others that claimed they’d bail out a few (s)elections ago if a certain party won. Big talk, little walk.

It’s just a forum for people who are old enough to know how the technology works, but have NOT learned how to STFU when they don’t know squat.

They shoot off their mouths AS IF they have an understanding of the issues... When you’re THAT stupid, you can count on someone out there knowing more than YOU DO and who will flame you for your idiocy! It’s just ANOTHER lesson they didn’t learn and should have, before showing the entire world that they are morons!

Actually, I LOVE seeing these creeps demonstrate for everyone JUST how ignorant they are!

“Who is this person?”

Yes, and what did she mean and why were people upset about it.

I’m just confused, maybe if I were Canadian I’d be really annoyed by it, but basically it doesn’t make much sense.

Super models - is there anything they don’t know?

I guess that’s why they’re “super”...

"Butterface" model with cultural Marxist and government-monopoly-of-violence views mouths off, and this is news?

Shocked there ain't pictures of her on the thread already.
