‘It’s probably really embarrassing I get it,’ she continued. 

Kelly went on to explain how it is baffling he would accuse her of being desperate for ‘attention’ when Teigen took ‘photos of her abortion’ and treated it like ‘a PR photo op.’ 

She explained how that moment ‘should be the most private and intimate’ moment and how it would ‘probably extremely uncomfortable’ to have a spouse that wanted to document and upload the images to the world. 

The Illinois native, who is married to novelist Douglas Brunt, then pointed out that Legend was by his wife’s side and posed for photos, which she said were to ‘promote their brand.’

‘How dare you lecture anyone on needing attention, sir,’ she fired, before specifically slamming his defense of Teigen, who he described as a ‘kind and loving person.’

Kelly pointed out that ‘Teigen has a long and very dark history’ of ‘repeated bullying of young teenagers.’ 

She was referring to some of Teigen’s old tweets in the mid-2010s, which included repeatedly telling Courtney Stodden, then 16, to commit suicide. 

‘There’s a long long record of this bully going after young people wanting them to take their own lives,’ Kelly pointed out.

‘Chrissy Teigen is a sick, relentless cruel self-aggrandizing needy attention-starved bully she deserves every bit of criticism she gets and trust me there’s plenty more of it in,’ the journalist concluded.
