LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Chrissy Teigen is facing backlash on social media after sharing a video of her daughter, Luna, sitting on the kitchen counter with bare feet while they cooked together.

Chrissy Teigen, 38, captioned the Instagram Story video, sharing her excitement about making the family’s cherished recipe: “I finally made my babies our family recipe for jok moo — a hearty rice porridge made with spiced pork meatballs.

The aroma of fresh ginger, green onion, cilantro and garlic will fill your kitchen and the warmth of the creamy rice porridge will warm your bellies.” However, what quickly drew attention was not the cooking, but the sight of Luna’s bare feet on the kitchen counter.

Critics slam Chrissy Teigen for hygiene concerns, but supporters defend her parenting choices

The moment sparked a wave of criticism from followers who questioned the hygiene of the situation. One user wrote, “Is it me? But why are dirty feet on the counter? I love you guys, but that doesn't seem sanitary.”

Another added, “Disgusting but would expect nothing less from the canceled one.”

One follower simply declared, “That is gross and unsanitary.”

The backlash focused on concerns over the cleanliness of the kitchen, with critics pointing out that feet, which could carry dirt and bacteria, shouldn’t be placed on surfaces used for food preparation.

Despite the criticism, some of Teigen's followers defended her. One supporter remarked, “Her house, her rules. Period.” Another echoed the sentiment, stating, “I don’t see a problem with it. Their home, their kitchen, their food.” Teigen, who has often faced online scrutiny throughout her career, seemed unfazed by the negative responses, with her fans coming to her defense.

Teigen’s history of engaging with online criticism has been well documented. In April, she and her husband, John Legend, posted a family photo that included all four of their children, prompting one follower to comment, "@johnlegend @chrissyteigen always trying to stay relevant by talking and keep on having kids. No one cares." Teigen responded to the remark, sarcastically replying, “Yes very bored and need attention and there is no other way in the world to get it than having kids.”

Chrissy Teigen faces backlash again after 2021 resurfaced tweets spark controversy

According to the OK! Magazine, this wasn’t the first time Chrissy Teigen has faced backlash. In 2021, old tweets she had posted in the past resurfaced, causing widespread controversy. The tweets included hateful comments, including one directed at Courtney Stodden, in which Teigen said, “I can't wait for you to die.”

The resurfacing of these tweets led to intense public scrutiny, but Teigen did not shy away from addressing her past mistakes.

In an emotional apology, she said, “Not a day, not a single moment has passed where I haven’t felt the crushing weight of regret for the things I’ve said in the past. I’m truly ashamed of them... I was an insecure, attention seeking troll. I am ashamed and completely embarrassed at my behavior but that is nothing compared to how I made Courtney feel.”
