A fan excitedly replied to Teigen, writing, “how have you been what’s going on do you have any fun anecdotes i have missed you dearly,” to which the star joked, “I’ve spent weeks just saying tweets to shampoo bottles.”

Back on April 10, Teigen’s husband John Legend spoke on behalf of her on Twitter, relaying a message from his wife since she was still abstaining from the platform at the time.

“Chrissy would like me to tweet that if you were already prone to needing attention, you will absolutely experience extreme vaccine side effects,” wrote Legend, sharing her joke,then adding, “And she misses y’all.”

“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! Live well, tweeters,” added Teigen. “Please know all I ever cared about was you!!!”

Continuing her thread, Teigen said she has been “deeply bruised” over the years and encouraged social media users “to know and never forget that your words matter.”

“I have made my mistakes, throughout years and in front of hundreds of thousands, and been held accountable for them. I’ve learned an incredible amount here,” she said at the time, adding that she has “said f—– up s— and killed myself over it as much as you killed me.”

“But one thing I haven’t learned is how to block out the negativity,” she wrote. “I’m just a sensitive s—, okay!? I don’t wanna be this way! I just am! But I love you guys and I cherish our time together, I truly do. I also hate you.”
