After Vanessa Hudgens became the poster child for Chinese virus callousness with a tone-deaf post about the pandemic, Chrissy Teigen has unexpectedly come to her aid, telling Hudgens’ haters, “Just stop … the knives gotta go.”
“High School Musical” star Hudgens faced a huge backlash on social media after she posted a flippant response to President Trump’s comments that the crisis could stretch into the summer, saying, “Til July sounds like a bunch of bulls–t. I’m sorry. But like, it’s a virus. I get it like, I respect it, but at the same time like even if everybody gets it, like yeah, people are going to die, which is terrible, but like inevitable?”
Following an intense Twitter pile-on against Hudgens, 31, with many people calling her insensitive, or worse, outspoken Teigen began defending the actress.
While admitting that former Disney star Hudgens’ comments were “really dumb,” Teigen tweeted on Tuesday night, “Sometimes people, especially famous people, are gonna say really stupid s–t. & so are you.
“And they, and u, will learn from it & hopefully their history says they’re good. It’s ok. And at the same time, wow they really had a dumb f–kin moment. But u don’t have [to] ruin their lives.”
The model and cookbook author admitted she’s had her fair share of social media strife for things she’s said, and continued, “this isn’t about me this time,” but warned her followers, “it will be one day, or it’ll be you. But yeah today it’s Vanessa lol.”
Urging fans not to bully Hudgens for her mistake, Teigen added, “And no, life is rarely ruined for anyone. But you are damn well trying your best. Just stop.”
Even after fans challenged Teigen about the impact celebs have on social media because of their millions of followers, she called again for compassion online, writing, “We all have stupid moments and some people (like me) have a lot of passion and things don’t come out the way we mean it.”
“Yeah she said something really dumb and It sucks and she for sure feels terrible and just stop watching her stuff but the knives gotta go,” continuing, “I promise promise promise I learned and she is learning now and that’s all you can ask for.”
Teigen added to those challenging her on Twitter, “What can I say. Kids and online torture have made me a much more empathetic person. May you never be on the end of everyone hating you.”
Hudgens herself apologized for her insensitive comments on Tuesday night, which also appeared to stem from her disappointment that music festival Coachella was postponed.
“I’m sorry for the way I have offended anyone and everyone who has seen the clip from my Instagram live yesterday,” Hudgens wrote Tuesday.
“I realize my words were insensitive and not at all appropriate for the situation in our country and the world we are in right now.
“This has been a huge wake-up call about the significance my words have, now more than ever. I’m sending safe wishes to everyone to stay safe and healthy during this crazy time.”
