‘But it’s time for me to say goodbye. This no longer serves me as positively as it serves me negatively, and I think that’s the right time to call something,’ she admitted.
‘My life goal is to make people happy. The pain I feel when I don’t is too much for me. I’ve always been portrayed as the strong clap back girl but I’m just not,’ wrote the star, referring to her frequent fiery Twitter exchanges.
‘My desire to be liked and fear of pissing people off has made me somebody you didn’t sign up for, and a different human than I started out here as! Live well, tweeters. Please know all I ever cared about was you!!!’

‘I encourage you to know and never forget that your words matter. No matter what you see, what that person portrays, or your intention. For years I have taken so many small, 2-follower count punches that at this point, I am honestly deeply bruised.
‘I have made my mistakes, throughout years and in front of hundreds of thousands, and been held accountable for them. I’ve learned an incredible amount here.’
The most recent backlash Chrissy faced on Twitter – which she responded to – was for collaborating with Kris Jenner on plant-based cleaning product line, Safely.

Deactivated: Shortly after posting her ‘goodbye’ tweets, Chrissy officially deactivated her Twitter account
Shortly after posting her ‘goodbye’ tweets, Chrissy officially deactivated her Twitter account.
In the days leading up to her account’s deletion, Chrissy revealed that she and Kris Jenner (and Emma Grede) had teamed up to create a line of cleaning plant-based products,
‘Years in the making – excited to finally announce the launch of @GETSAFELY with two absolute bosses, Emma Grede and @KrisJenner,’ tweeted Chrissy two days earlier along with a photo of herself and Jenner.
Backlash: Two days before quitting the platform, Chrissy had responded to backlash she received for collaborating with Kris Jenner on plant-based cleaning product line, Safely
‘Plant based with aromatherapy oils annnnnd it works. Could cry. Cannot wait to see this in your homes. (Really!!!)’
Despite her obvious excitement over the line’s launch, the Lip Sync Battle social media pages became flooded with criticism pertaining to her association with the Kardashian clan.
‘Love you but don’t like you getting involved with that family. Does not fit with your brand,’ tweeted one disappointed fan, adding: ‘You are better than this. Sad to see this.’

Another firmly stated that they would not be purchasing products from Safely because they refuse to ‘put a penny into a Jenner/Kardashian pocket.’
One Twitter user contested Chrissy’s claim that Safely was ‘years in the making’ and even speculated that it was a way to profit off the pandemic.
‘Highly doubt this was “years” in the making. More like, let’s release a cleaning product just long enough after everyone forgot about hoarding hand sanitizer, so we don’t seem like we’re using the pandemic as a tool to profit from,’ their tweet read.
Although many of the tweets were prefaced with how much they ‘love’ Chrissy, they also expressed a similar distaste towards the star coming out with ‘MORE products,’ on top of her already successful Cravings empire.

‘You are a hero to me in SO many ways, so I say this I love! It just seems like the ever-widening chasm between those who have plenty and those who have nothing is exacerbated by this kind of venture’
‘I love you so much, Ms. Teigen… but really? MORE products? More profit?’ one tweet began.
‘You are a hero to me in SO many ways, so I say this I love! It just seems like the ever-widening chasm between those who have plenty and those who have nothing is exacerbated by this kind of venture.’
Last year, Chrissy shared the heartbreak of a miscarriage on the site, posting an anguished picture of her in the hospital. Another image showed her and husband John Legend grieving over a bundle cradled in her arms.
While her candor about the loss of their son won praise, some criticized her for putting such painful moments on social media.
