Chrissy Teigen On How She Deals With Twitter Haters: 'Not Well'

But here's hoping she never stops responding to them.

One follows Chrissy Teigen on Twitter for the high-concept food pictures, John Legend candids and hysterical one-liners, but not infrequently, followers get the privilege of seeing Teigen shed all airs of contained celebrity and engage in the PR nightmare of defending herself against Twitter trolls.

But while these interactions keep her followers laughing, the "FABLife" host told HuffPost Live on Thursday that she could stand to be less vulnerable to Twitter vitriol.

"If you follow me, you know how I how I deal with it, and it's not well," she affirmed. "I think the funny thing is when people get mad at me when I respond to them, but sometimes it might be the 500th time that day that I read that similar comment, so yes, maybe I snapped on that one person."

Teigen's interchanges read as funny, but the Sports Illustrated supermodel says there's a deeper sentiment behind her responses.

"John [Legend, Teigen's husband] always says that I'm too big of a fan of justice. I feel like I like to let people know when they've hurt my feelings, and I need them to know that they hurt me," she explained.

And if the fans are enjoying it, well, that doesn't hurt.

"I mostly try to do it for entertainment purposes," she admitted. "I don't ever do it to bully somebody."
