Chrissy Teigen Shares Her Thoughts On Instagram’s Troll-Fighting Tool

We love Chrissy Teigen on Twitter and Instagram. She's pretty much our online life guru: Her tweets sound like our best friend's, she's not afraid to confront negative followers, and she's been known to start the occasional blender war. And now she doesn't have to deal with naysayers — on one social app, at least. Last month, Teigen used Twitter to call on social media platforms to create safer spaces online. While Twitter still has yet to make troll banning an easy feat, Instagram finally rose to the challenge.
