After earning more than 13 million followers on Twitter, Chrissy Teigen quits the platform.
Former model and media personality Chrissy Teigen is calling it quits with social media platform Twitter.
In a series of now-deleted tweets, Chrissy explained that the platform is no longer serving her as positively as before.
She wrote on Wednesday, March 25, “Hey. For over 10 years, you guys have been my world. I honestly owe so much of this world we have created here and I truly consider so many of you my actual friends.
“But, it's time for me to say goodbye. This no longer serves me as positively as it serves me negatively, and I think that's the right time to call something.”
The wife of singer John Legend added that the pain she felt had become too much for her.
Chrissy explained, “My life goal is to make people happy. The pain I feel when I don't is too much for me. I've always been portrayed as the strong, clapback girl, but I'm just not.
“My desire to be liked and fear of pissing people off has made me somebody you didn't sign up for,and a different human that I started out here as! Live well, tweeters. Please know all I ever cared about was you!”
Before leaving, she encouraged her followers “to know and never forget that your words matter. No matter what you see, what the person portrays, or your intention.”

For the past 10 years, Chrissy has been tweeting everything about her life from her kids to her cooking projects, including suffering a miscarriage last October 2020.
She also made headlines after being blocked by former US president Donald Trump and was even hailed as its “unofficial mayor” by the social media site.
However, she has also experienced a lot of online harassment after Pizzagate conspiracy theorists baselessly claimed that she and John Legend were part of a nonexistent pedophile ring in a pizzeria in Washington D.C.
And though Twitter took efforts to reduce the harassment on it's platform, it didn't stop Chrissy from cutting ties with it.
On Instagram, the former model said that Twitter isn't to blame for her social detox, adding, “I believe they do all they can to combat relentless bullying.It's not the 'bullying' and it's not the trolls. The trolls I can deal with, although it weighs on you.
“It's just me. I have to come to terms with the fact that some people aren't gonna like me.
“I hate letting people down or upsetting people, and I feel like I just did it over and over.
"Someone can't read that they disappointed you in some way every single day, all day without physically absorbing that energy. I can feel it in my bones.”
