Chrissy Teigen made her voice heard earlier this week when she clapped back at ‘mom shamers’ regarding an Instagram post featuring three of her four children -Miles, six, Esti, two, and Wren, one.

The Lip Sync Battle star, 39, posted a carousel of photos with a particular shot catching the attention of her 41.8 million followers. She was seemingly naked at the $17.5 million mansion she shares with her husband John Legend in a bath filled with murky water.

“Why is she always in dirty bathwater?,” wrote one confused fan, while another added: “Kids deserve privacy. Why should the world be seeing them in the bath?”

“Why do people post stuff like this on social media???,” asked another follower.

The mother of four was quick to respond to questions over her “dirty” bath water. “It’s a coconut milk bath for sensitive skin but go off!,” the celebrity mom penned.

Though an unusual color, milk baths have long been a wellness practice associated with soothing the skin. Coconut milk in particular is thought to penetrate the skin and the fatty acids help to lock in moisture.

Speaking to Architectural Digest in 2023, Chrissy revealed what drew her and John to this house in particular: “Every house we’ve ever had reflects the moment we were in in our lives, like chapters in a book. We were attracted to this place because of its lightness and airiness.”
