When a fan asked Teigen what she had been up to, the model joked, “I’ve spent weeks just saying tweets to shampoo bottles.”
Late last month, Chrissy wrote a message to her followers before shutting down her account.
She shared, "Hey. 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."
"But it's time for me to say goodbye,” she continued. “This no longer serves me as positively as it serves me negatively, and I think that's the right time to call something. 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 clap back girl but I'm just not."
The pressure to be liked and the “fear of pissing people off” was too much. She said it “made me somebody you didn't sign up for, and a different human than I started out here as!”

Teigen followed up on Instagram, saying, in part, “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 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 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.”
