American model and television personality Chrissy Teigen has been defending herself after some of her netizens trolled her as she had shared a story about a $13,000 bottle of wine. Taking to her Twitter handle on Wednesday, Chrissy Teigen stirred social media backlash over a tweet complaining that she and her husband, John Legend, had ordered an extremely expensive bottle of wine at the restaurant. Now, she is facing a backlash on social media. 

The actor tweeted to her 13.6m followers asking, “What’s the most expensive thing you’ve eaten that you thought sucked?” To which she later went on to recall an incident saying, “One time John and I were at a restaurant and the waiter recommended a nice Cabernet. We got the bill and it was 13,000 dollars. HOW DO U CASUALLY RECOMMEND THAT WINE. We didn’t even finish it and it had been cleared!!!”

However, Chrissy Teigen’s this tweet did not go quite well with her followers, maybe because of the current state of the world right now, with so many people out of work and struggling to survive. Users went all out to comment on how the actor is flexing about how she spent so much money on a bottle of wine, while there are people who can’t afford simple medical care. One of the users wrote, “This is how you know money isn’t real & capitalism is straight garbage. Y’all can accidentally buy a $13,000 bottle of wine but most Americans can’t afford a $300 emergency”. The one wrote, “Now is not the time to be flexing how much money you and your out of touch husband has. People are dying, becoming homeless, starving etc”. Check out a few tweets below.

In a series of tweets, Chrissy continued to address the criticism, explaining that not everything she shares on social media is going to be relatable, as it is her "life and my Twitter and my stories". Teigen continued saying, “Hey, 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. I see your tweets, I get your jokes, you are so funny, yes, you really nailed me.” Take a look at Chrissy Teigen's Twitter posts below.
