What was supposed to be a sharp political comment on the paucity of gun control laws in America was deemed insensitive by Teigen's followers - particularly those in Canada.

@chrissyteigen @Kenny_Mayne Not funny. I usually laugh at anything. But terrorism has hit our homeland.

Had to unfollow girl crush @chrissyteigen - her insensitive tweet re: still-unfolding Canada shooting. Thought she was smarter than that.

Teigen, sensing that not many people understood her commentary, first predicted an attack by Twichy, right-wing pundit Michelle Malkin's microblog platform. Then she tried to clear the air, but did she pointedly not apologize.
But some remained unconvinced.
@chrissyteigen Don't bring America into this. America isn't being attacked at this moment. Canada is and what you said was very sad to see.

Finally, Teigen ended with the last word.
I've lost faith in this world. Sorry if it comes off as being unemotional. There is just so much bad.
