Chrissy Teigen has come forward to justify her decision to post a series of photos on social media, which reveal her nipple through a see-through blouse.
“Considering my nipples have been surgically altered and reattached several times and have nourished babies, I don’t really perceive them as particularly sexy or scandalous, but I’m sorry if you do,” Teigen, 40, commented on a Sunday, June 28, Instagram post featuring these images.
She further added, “I trust you’ll manage just fine 🙏🙏🙏—almost positive you will. Love you dearly.”
Among the five photos shared by the model and entrepreneur, four prominently displayed her right nipple through a white button-down shirt, while another image depicted Teigen shielding her exposed skin with her arm.
Fans were quick to show their support for Teigen, who shares four children with husband John Legend. (Teigen gave birth to three of the pair’s kids — daughters Luna, 9, and Esti, 3, and son Miles, 8 — while a surrogate helped the couple welcome their youngest son, Wren, 3.)
“Girl, mine have been cut off, re-built out of my belly skin, and tattooed. Nips ain’t nothing scandalous to me either!” wrote one fan in the post’s comments section, while another wrote, “Love your sassy honesty.”
Legend, 47, also showed support for his wife by dropping a heart-eyed emoji in the comments section.
Teigen is no stranger to her shared candid antics via her social media that ruffles fan feathers. In June 2024, she and Legend attracted backlash after Legend uploaded a video of his wife exfoliating her body amid brown bathwater. The post’s comments section was littered with disapproving comments.
“Okay thankful I listened to it bc she said she’s wiping ALL her body makeup off … only way this kind of water would be okay,” wrote one fan, while another wrote, “Damn she needs to let that dirty water drain before posting on social media.”
Teigen addressed the criticism hours later by writing in the comments section herself, “The water is dirty because I’m getting my body makeup off, like I said in the video my sweet angels!”
The following year, online trolls took issue with her bathwater again when Teigen shared photos of a coconut milk bath with her children. “It’s a coconut milk bath for sensitive skin but go off,” she later wrote.
Teigen’s online honesty goes beyond discussions about her body and bathing rituals. Earlier this month, she publicly mourned the loss of her father, Ron, via an Instagram video that saw her reveal that she will continue to talk to him “every night.” She has also been candid about pregnancy loss, mental health, therapy and her sobriety, among other subjects, over the years.
