Chrissy Teigen Shuts Down a Troll Who Told Her to Post "Bikini Pics Only" on Instagram

Chrissy Teigen replied to an Instagram commenter who said she should post "bikini pics only" on her Instagram instead of photos of her kids. The former model pointed out that the troll probably wouldn't be interested in her post-baby body.

Chrissy Teigen (opens in new tab) is here with her weekly reminder of why she's the best at social media. The model/host/best-selling author is brilliant in 140 characters or less and she's a veteran troll slayer. Here, to start your weekend off right, are the details of her latest triumph of clapback-ery:
