Chrissy Teigen has a new tattoo, and she was proud to show it off to the world.
However, her announcement quickly backfired, as many people started accusing her of being insensitive and making Holocaust references with the new piece of ink.
The tattoo in question is a series of numbers along her forearm, which many have compared to the tattoos notoriously worn by concentration camp inmates during Adolf Hitler‘s reign.
Still, those comments appear to have been a minority in any case, as most people were generally positive of the new piece, commending Teigen on her taste.
Not many accused her of being insensitive, and even those comments got slammed relatively fast.
In the end, some observers even managed to turn the situation around into a joke, noting that Teigen most certainly was not trying to give any “Holocaust vibes” on purpose.
The exact meaning of the numbers? They are just birthdays — five in total — and this was quickly noted by several commenters under the original posts.
However, that did not seem to do much to dissuade the angry mob, as many people continued to make Holocaust comparisons.
At some point, they were the ones being called out for acting inappropriately, however. Her supporters are saying that hopefully, this will not come back to haunt her at a later point.
One person replied: “It did look like some people were trying to incite controversy for the sake of it, but it seems that Teigen wanted to have none of that, and was able to move on without any issues.”
Meanwhile, the actress and chef has been bombarding her millions of followers with an overload of cuteness in the shape of videos of her two children — Miles and Luna.
A follower had this reaction: “I love it! My daughter is ten, and my son is 11 mths, and they are best buds as well. Melts my heart ?They are the sweetest, and their sibling interaction warms our heart.??”
This commenter explained: “Lol, no doubt on the sometimes, we have 4 & they range from best friends to worst enemies depending.”
A fourth back stated: “My kids are almost the same exact ages, and they’re either friends or enemies. There’s no in-between. ?Your babies are carbon copies of you and John.”
John Legend‘s wife has recently revealed that she is good with having just two children for now.
