• Chrissy Teigen said she's in a "grief depression hole" after experiencing a pregnancy loss in October but told fans not to worry "as I have so much help around me to get better."
• The model and TV star had defended Meghan Markle's essay in The New York Times about her miscarriage in July, as some people accused the duchess of seeking attention.
• "Award for today's absolute piece of s--- ," Teigen wrote in a since-deleted tweet in response to a journalist who said Markle was being criticized for writing a "1,000 word op-ed about herself."

Chrissy Teigen has opened up about her experience with grief after suffering a pregnancy loss earlier this year.

The TV personality, who announced she had lost her pregnancy after experiencing extreme bleeding in October, had earlier defended Meghan Markle's decision to speak about her own miscarriage.

"I'm not tweeting much because I'm honestly in a bit of a grief depression hole but do not worry as I have so much help around me to get better and I'll be fixed soon," Teigen wrote on Twitter on Thursday.

She wrote another tweet saying she was in a "dark bubble" after a Twitter user criticized her for using the word "fixed" in relation to depression and grief.

"I am in a very dark bubble and incapable of expressing what is happening and doing the best I can. I feel broken and all I know is the opposite is fixed — I know it isn't that easy but it's all I can think of at the moment. Did not mean to offend," Teigen wrote.

Teigen shared details of her pregnancy loss after it happened in October, writing in a Twitter post that she had received "bags and bags of blood transfusions" at a hospital but that the bleeding still couldn't be stopped.

"We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we've never felt before," she wrote. "We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn't enough."

Teigen also said she and her husband, John Legend, had named their unborn son Jack.

The model's recent tweet came after Meghan Markle's op-ed article this week in The New York Times, in which she for the first time discussed having a miscarriage in July.

The duchess said she felt a "sharp cramp" one morning when changing her son Archie's diaper and realized that she was losing her unborn child.

"I dropped to the floor with him in my arms, humming a lullaby to keep us both calm, the cheerful tune a stark contrast to my sense that something was not right," Markle wrote. "I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second."

Markle received criticism for sharing her story, with some people accusing the duchess of seeking attention.

Teigen responded to a journalist who said Markle was receiving criticism for writing a "1,000 word op-ed about herself."

"Award for today's absolute piece of s--- ," Teigen wrote in a since-deleted tweet.

Teigen then tweeted: "Sorry forgot I'm trying to be nicer lol."
