Chrissy Teigen quits Twitter

Chrissy Teigen has quit Twitter.

The 28-year-old model, the wife of John Legend, has left the social networking site after she received a string of online abuse following her tweet about the shooting in Ottawa, Canada – which left one solider and the alleged gunman dead – yesterday (10.22.14).

Announcing her decision to leave the website, she tweeted today (10.23.14):  »I feel sick. Bye Twitter. Taking my talents to instagram. (sic). »

The brunette beauty became the target on Twitter last night after she raised the issue of US gun crime.

She wrote:  »active shooting in Canada, or as we call it in america, wednesday.

 »That’s not a joke. It is a fact. (sic). »

She added:  »Sorry you don’t understand that is a knock at america and our issues with gun control. No one is minimizing the Ottawa shooting.

 »I’m not apologizing. If you take it wrong, that is your fault. »

She continued:  »For some reason, Canadians think I am saying they have a lot of shootings. I am not saying that. Sigh.

 »I’ve lost faith in this world. Sorry if it comes off as being unemotional. There is just so much bad. (sic). »

Meanwhile, Chrissy previously admitted she’s no stranger to landing herself in hot water on the internet.

She said last year:  »I mean, I’m very much in the heat of the moment and I say things that I’m feeling and then I’m like, ‘Why did I do that? I regret things all the time. I’ve never regretted not saying something. I’ve only regretted saying something. »
