Chrissy Teigen Says Mom-Shaming Comments Makes Her Feel Guilty
While she’s the queen of clapbacks, Chrissy Teigen recently addressed her social media usage and the abundance of mom-shaming comments she faces on daily; admitting that sometimes, it’s a lot to deal with.
Since birthing her beautiful babies, Luna, 3, and Miles, 1, Chrissy says, the criticisms gotten worse. On ‘Today,’ she says, “The comments affect me. Of course.. Not only do we have our own personal judgement and vendetta against ourselves, we also have to read online, people judging how you’re buckling them in a car seat, [etc.] There’s these voices everywhere, all the time, and it’s hard to weed out.”

She explained, “They say 9/10 moms actually feel like they’re not doing a good enough job, and that was me completely. Now I realize that there’s no one right way to do anything. There’s a million ways to raise a baby.”
Detailing the criticism, she shares, “Any time I post a picture of them holding ribs or eating sausage, I get a lot of criticism. Vegans and vegetarians are mad and feel that we are forcing meat upon them at a young age. They freak out.”

“If they get a glimpse of the car seat, there’s a lot of buckle talk. Maybe for half a second, the strap just slipped down! And TV is another big one. We have the TV on a lot in my house. John and I work on television. We love watching television. Oh and the second they see a blue stripe [on a diaper] they’re like, ‘You’ve gotta change this baby!’ It’s pretty much everything.”
Furthermore, the mom of two says she’s learning to ignore and move on, for own mental’s sake.
She says, “It’s tough sometimes. You want to be able to say more. Sometimes I’m like, I’m not in the right headspace to deal with this. I have two kids. I’ve got other stuff going on. So sometimes I want to say something so badly but it’s not worth it to me, and I need my mind to be clear. I’m much better at knowing the timing of when to say things and not to say things.”
