GOP Candidate Slammed Over 'Disgusting' Reaction To Chrissy Teigen And John Legend's Pregnancy Loss

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are very public figures and have used their platform to advocate for progressive stances. They even tried to remove a lot of stigma around pregnancy and were very open with complications Teigen experienced while expecting.

This is why they were incredibly open when the unimaginable happened and they lost the child, despite the pain the situation caused them.


It was a very vulnerable thing to do, but one that hopefully made others who've experienced the same tragedy feel a little less alone.

However, that same vulnerability was attacked by a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in California.

Errol Webber decided this was the perfect time to shame Teigen and Legend for their views on pro-choice legislation.


While most comments about Teigen and Legend were sympathetic and offered condolences, the comment above from Errol Webber asks the couple to rethink their position on abortion. Again, this is right after they lost their pregnancy to a miscarriage.

Webber is currently running to represent CA-37 in the House. He is a big Trump supporter and is struggling to gain any traction against Democratic incumbent Karen Bass.

This may have been why he felt it necessary to cause controversy.

Webber wasn't the only one making comments in poor taste after a tragedy. Conservative personalities Diamond and Silk questioned Teigen's photo, and sports journalist Jason Whitlock felt the moment might have been better kept private.

However, bereavement photography is a legitimate service offered and can help families deal with the grief of the loss of a baby. Additionally, Teigen had been very purposefully open with her issues with this pregnancy, and this was the unfortunate end.

Sharing it can provide closure for both people who've experienced this, as well as for Teigen herself.

Which is why this noble moment shouldn't be used to score cheap political points.





Our hearts and thoughts go out to Teigen and Legend as they deal with this tragedy. If anything can bring them some semblance of peace during this time, we hope they find it.

Meanwhile, if you're in California's 37th district, you're probably already voting for Karen Bass, but you might see about supporting her campaign anyway. She likely doesn't need the help to win against her opponent, especially since he likes running his mouth on Twitter, but participating in our democracy is a good habit all the same.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
