After nearly a decade of being a regular presence on the platform, Teigen has drawn the curtain on her Twitter personality. Posting a series of tweets, she stated multiple reasons for the move.

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!

Claiming that the negativity she has faced on the platform has changed her, Teigen said that living up to public expectations on Twitter was becoming too stressful.

I've always been portrayed as the strong clap back girl but I'm just not.

Signing off with a final message in which she claimed to be a "sensitive sh*t," Teigen said goodbye to her supporters and her haters in one swoop.

I'm just a sensitive sh*t okay!? I don't wanna be this way! I just am! But I love you guys and cherish our time together, I truly do. I also hate you.

Twitter users had mixed reactions to her departure, with some shrugging about her exit while others lamented her departure.

While Chrissy Teigen has quit Twitter, her Instagram handle remains active as of now.
