The solution is not to click on the thread if you are so bothered by this. Also feels like Chrissy’s PR team is on here. No one normal would be this invested in defending a wealthy, narcissistic, attention seeking celebrity.

Probably not her PR team, but a rabid fan in a parasocial relationship with her who feels the need to defend her “friend” against any criticism.

I haven’t posted in this thread before but I’ve been following along because I find the extreme level of hate to be startling and weird. Why do you care so much about someone you don’t know and who doesn’t impact you at all? I could see defending someone against such irrational hate.

Irrational? Chrissy has a pretty terrible past as an internet bully. Why would anyone waste a second “defending” her from the consequences of her own actions? She has mocked children, told people to slit their wrists, bullied others. She’s garbage.

She bullied Courtney Stodden right? That is really terrible, I agree with you. But this is about the birth of her kid via surrogacy - why are you so angry about that? And do you spend this amount of energy hating other trashy people who routinely mock and endanger trans people, or just this one former model who did it years ago? I’m genuinely fascinated- how do you pick who really deserves this amount of attention from you?

+1, the weird single minded focus people have about a few select celebrity women on this forum is b-a-n-a-n-a-s

+2 million

Absolutely.^ I’ve done it for another woman who gets irrational hatred from the crazy women on this board.

Certain women on this board enjoy spewing vitriol and acerbic comments at certain celebrity women. It’s bizarre as hell! They even use the same language (“PR team”) during their hate-filled rants.

There have been a few people just randomly hating on Teigen in this thread, but there is also a thoughtful conversation about surrogacy, and especially use of surrogacy by wealthy couples who already have multiple kids. I think dismissing that as "spewing vitriol" is kind of ridiculous. It's possible to not hate Chrissy Teigen, even to be happy for her that she is happy with her babies, and still be uneasy about this use of surrogacy. Which is how I feel.

Nobody is really even in here talking about Chrissy and her past. Mostly its about the ethics of surrogacy. Why are people trying to shut that down? Move along if you're bothered.

No one even responded to my post a few pages back that talked about mortality rates in other high risk professions so I think people just like to crap talk her.

There's a reason surrogacy is flat out illegal in much of the world when roofing is not. The US will probably evolve eventually to follow that same path, we just take longer on some of these controversial issues. Wealthy people renting the wombs of those less well off isn't something everyone wants to celebrate. Especially those who have several kids already. People might have more empathy for a childless couple who otherwise wouldn't be able to have a family. There's a lot less empathy and understanding for Chrissy, Hilaria and Kim Kardashian.

I disagree re Kim Kardashian. She had a fairly severe medical issue called placenta acreta. She was absolutely justified using a surrogate.

Justified? That's a reach. It's never really justified to take advantage of people and paying them to put themselves and their body in harm's way just because you feel justified in having a bigger brood.

NP. Normal people just stop having kids when it endangers their life or they keep going knowing they could die.

Right. And they don't pay other people to take on the risk. Thats the ethical part.

I’m not. As you noted, those aren’t the only comments.

I don't "hate" Chrissy Teigen, because I don't have enough investment in people I don't know. However, I do believe it is extremely problematic to put people on pedestals who have caused grave harm to other people with zero consequences. Teigen has showed she is ugly on the outside, and as a mother who is strongly against bullying of any kind, I can't imagine aligning with this woman, or lionizing her when there are clearly many other women in the world who have done a lot of good - I don't understand the focus on someone who has negative value and has done nothing for society, in fact the opposite- she willingly and knowingly relentlessly harassed teenagers.

Pulling this out because it's a good point. I'm probably less invested in Teigen's bullying past, BUT I do think that often valid criticism of celebrities, including Teigen, is written off as "haters gonna hate" or people being jealous. A lot of people develop parasocial obsessions with celebrities, or over-identify with celebrities because of the perceived (and false) closeness of social media and other forms of interaction, and will defend literally anything they do. I've seen it with lots of different celebs.

Sometimes people are making valid criticisms, or at least opinions grounded in unbiased assessments, and it gets dismissed as just people hating on a famous woman. Well guess what, sometimes famous women do things worth criticizing. It's not anti-feminist to do so.

Thank you. I also want to add, what Teigen did to Courtney and her other targets was the epitome of anti feminism. Why do we give her a pass? Because she’s wealthy? Because she’s famous? Imagine if your daughter was Courtney, would you be excusing her bad behavior then? The behavior was so lacking in empathy it astounded me. I think we need to hold people to the same standards we would if they hurt a loved one of ours. It didn’t happen to me or wasn’t targeted at me isn’t a reason to look the other way.

Also, not sure why anyone is surprised when they start a thread on Chrissy and it’s controversial.. like if you don’t understand the controversy, I don’t know what to tell you.

Personally, I could care less about her surrogacy or her personal life but I do care about her actions that harm others.

Was just looking at Teigen’s Instagram and I can’t fathom why people like her or idolize their relationship. Other than being rich, what do people like about them? They seem dumb and shallow and vein. I’ll grant he’s talented, but she’s not. Their couple/family personas seem fake AF to me.

I don’t get it.

The ironic part is, that's exactly what every single father does.

ITA. I’m generally uncomfortable with surrogacy and find the sycophancy and admiration directed to the “brave” couples who in my view exploit poorer women utterly repugnant.

PP, it’s ok to say “Megan Markle” in your defense. Its not like saying Rumplestiltskin.

Regarding Teigen and the teen she bullied: because the teen was an exploited, effector trafficked by her parents white blonde with no power, and some women would kill for Teigen’s lifestyle and identify with her as a “brave” POC who “took on Trump.” I am progressive AF and am always a little amused at people who find hating the worst President ever to be an unusual personality trait. I would think that’s less special and more just, being sentient. But that’s why, and everyone honest knows it.
