American model and cookbook author Chrissy Teigen has announced she is leaving Twitter, with her 13.7 million-follower account being deactivated soon after the farewell statement was posted.
"For over 10 years, you guys have been my world. I honestly owe so much to this world we have created here. I truly consider so many of you my actual friends", she said in a Twitter thread. "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".
"I've always been portrayed as the strong clap back girl but I'm just not", she added.
Her decision caused a storm of reactions among both Teigen's fans and haters.
