Chrissy Teigen gets online backlash for going out for supper

So John Legend’s wife Chrissy Teigen has gotten some serious backlash for going out to dinner a week after giving birth to baby girl Luna Simone. 

Chrissy was photographed with hubby John Legend by her side as the couple stepped out for a bite to eat.

Little did she know that the simple act caused a swirl of backlash from fans and haters alike. Some accused her of being a bad mother, while others were just down right crude in their approach. Chrissy responded in typical Chrissy fashion and confronted the haters up front. Go girl!

I had a son almost 11 months ago and two weeks after giving birth my husband took us out for a bite to eat. Granted we took the baby with – but I felt I just needed a change of scenery. If I had a nanny at the time we certainly would have left the baby in her care. This was our first baby and I was completely overwhelmed and just needed a break from the conformity I was subjected to for the two weeks.

Please understand that my husband and I often ate out and enjoyed leisurely activity and with the new baby in our lives that all had changed – literally overnight. Now, I was expecting this to happen, but when it did, it still took me by surprise. I only realised after seeing a doctor that I was actually suffering from post-natal depression and I was put on medication which helped.

What I am getting at is that people are so quick to judge Chrissy for going out and spending a night with her husband, not knowing what she could be going through. We all don’t take to motherhood the same way. Some take to motherhood like a duck to water and for others, like me, it is a little tougher. The person who was sensitive to that in my case was my husband.

His opinion was the only one I cared about for obvious reasons. He was there every step of the way from pregnancy to birth, and understood the challenges and difficulties I faced. The social media critics on the other hand can take several seats and focus their attention on raising their own offspring and keep their emojis for someone who actually gives a tweet. Chrissy went out with her husband – not the girls for a night out on the town, her husband! What exactly is the crime here? This man has been there for her through the emotional rollercoaster that one goes through having a new baby, and instead of applauding the family unit they are, the social media “mom” trolls attacked them.

It is so sad how these so-called “mothers” go online and attack another mother over her choices and have no clue of the challenges she faces. Just because she is a celebrity they think they can tear into her as if her feelings and obstacles don’t matter. Mothers are known to be kind, understanding, and sensitive – where did that go if those same “moms” are turning veil on social media towards other moms? What are you teaching your own kids? I guess the real question here is – while you tweet your hate, what are YOUR kids doing, mama?
