  • Model Chrissy Teigen slammed a netizen for linking her to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein 
  • The model revealed that she deleted over "60,000 tweets" from her timeline because she is worried for her family
  • A user claimed that Teigen was featured on the flight logs going to Epstein’s island called Little Saint James  

Model Chrissy Teigen called out a netizen on Twitter after the latter linked her to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on social media.

A netizen with the username Chrissie Mayr claimed that some celebrities have been quite busy after the arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime friend and an ally of Epstein. The user tagged Teigen and asked her why she deleted approximately 28,000 tweets from her timeline following Maxwell’s arrest. Mayr also claimed that the model was on Epstein’s flight logs going to his island, Little Saint James.

John Legend’s wife did not waste any time in replying to the bizarre theory and called the user an “idiot.” Teigen also revealed that she actually deleted over “60,000 tweets” because of the “stupid behavior” shown by some of the social media users. The celebrity also stated that she is “worried for her family” because she has been falsely linked to the late financier.

“I actually deleted 60,000 tweets because I cannot [explicit] STAND you, idiots, any more and I’m worried about my family. Finding me talking about toddlers and tiaras in 2013 and thinking you are some sort of [explicit] operative,” Teigen wrote on the micro-blogging website.

One user then commented on Teigen’s update, saying that it was weird of her to get so “defensive” about the matter. The mother of two quickly clapped back at the user by writing, “This I don’t get. everyone thinking I’m guilty because I’m defensive. You understand you are calling me a pedophile, correct? ”

According to Page Six, Epstein’s fleet of private planes was nicknamed “Lolita Express.” The name was taken from the novel “Lolita” that was written by Russian author Vladimir Nabokov. The novel tells the story of a middle-aged man’s relationship with a 12-year-old girl.

Epstein allegedly sexually exploited as many as a “dozen” of underaged girls from 2002 to 2005. In July 2019, Epstein was arrested on federal charges for the sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York. He died by suicide in jail on Aug. 10, 2019.

Teigen’s comments came on the same day when Maxwell was denied bail by a federal judge. U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan said during a hearing that Maxwell poses “a substantial risk of flight,” agreeing with prosecutors in the case.
