Chrissy Teigen slams troll who 'respectfully' asked if she was still pregnant
Celebrities deal with a lot of criticism — especially on social media. But queen of clapbacks, Chrissy Teigen, didn’t let a cruel comment ruin her night out.
The mom-of-two joined her husband John Legend at Monday night’s Emmy Awards. Despite being surrounded by a gaggle of A-listers, Teigen was still able to take a moment to reply to a body shaming comment on Twitter.
I’m asking this with the utmost respectful, but is @chrissyteigen pregnant again? 🤯 https://t.co/lnGUihYAc9

“I’m asking this with the utmost respectful, but is @chrissyteigen pregnant again?” read the comment.
Teigen, who gave birth to her son, Miles Theodore, just four months ago, was quick to reply.
I just had a baby but thank you for being soooo respectful https://t.co/N9ZxZ35Zze

“I just had a baby but thank you for being soooo respectful,” she retorted.
The model’s followers cheered her on for confronting the Twitter troll.
If I look that good 4 months after giving birth . . . I actually don't know how to finish that sentence. I pray to GOD I look that good 4 months after giving birth.

Rule #1. Never ask a woman if she is pregnant. Even indirectly.

Teigen, who is also mom to two-year-old Luna, has long been an advocate for body positivity. Earlier this year, she opened up about her own struggles with accepting her body.
Instagram is crazy. I think it’s awesome people have killer bodies and are proud to show them off (I really do!!) but I know how hard it can be to forget what (for lack of a better word) regular ol’ bodies look like when everyone looks bonkers amazing

also I don’t really call this “body confidence” because I’m not quite there yet. I’m still super insecure. I’m just happy that I can make anyone else out there feel better about themselves!

After giving birth to her daughter in 2016, she told People that returning to her pre-baby weight was not a priority.
“I just wanted to feel good and feel energetic… I’m still at that point [after having then-5-week-old Luna] where I can’t work out, which is awesome, because it’s like, ‘Sorry … I can’t!’” she said.
