AceShowbiz - Chrissy Teigen has been slammed after a series of historic offensive tweets came to light.
The model and social media influencer has gained a huge following online with her tongue-in-cheek posts across Twitter and Instagram. However, fans have started to turn on Chrissy now that a number of shocking Twitter posts dating back to 2010 have been unveiled, many of which were aimed at fellow celebrities.
"why is anyone surprised mariah is having twins? i was always pretty positive there were 2-15 babies growing inside of her," she wrote making fun of singer Mariah Carey's weight in December 2010.

Another from January 2011 referred to Lindsay Lohan and appeared to trivialise self-harm, with Chrissy posting: "lindsay adds a few more slits to her wrists when she sees emma stone."
The 33-year-old also wrote multiple tweets containing transphobic slurs, including one from May 2011 that described Thailand's reputation as a "dirty, drugged out, sex filled, ping pong tranny place," and she additionally mocked the reality show America's Next Top Model by instead calling it "'americas next top tranny' because this s**t has been transtastic for the past 5 years (sic)."
