“Active shooting in Canada, or as we call it in America, Wednesday,” Tiegen wrote. “That's not a joke. It is a fact. ... I've lost faith in this world. Sorry if it comes off as being unemotional. There is just so much bad.”
Tiegen, who’s married to musician John Legend, quickly copped a landslide of hate, which prompted her to clarify that she was not making a joke at the expense of Canada, but as an observation about gun control in America.
However her clarification did little to stop the vitriol.
At one point, Teigen posted a photo of the responses she was getting on Twitter, suggesting the site should be more proactive about stopping threatening tweets.
Enough was enough, though, for the model.
I can't see anything through the sea of hate and anger that is now my Twitter. Seriously I can't sift through it all,” she said. “It's gotten to the point people don't even see (t)he simplicity of the original tweet and have just wanted to get shaking-mad over something.”
After sharing a final abusive message, time from a Twitter user who hoped that “someone murders some(one) you love, like your f****t husband”, Teigen wrote, “I feel sick. Bye Twitter. Taking my talents to Instagram.”
