Chrissy Keeping It Real

Model and mom of two Chrissy Teigen isn’t shy about sharing details of her life on Twitter and Instagram. However, Teigen also admits that social media is “misleading,” and often doesn’t show what’s truly going on in a person’s life. Teigen made the comments during an interview with skincare brand Foreo.

“Social media can be very misleading. I think it’s important to know that these lives you’re seeing aren’t the same as what you see [in real life],” Teigen said during a YouTube interview with Foreo. “When you’re actually there, it’s actually the most silent dinner you’ve ever seen, but on Instagram, it reads as so cool and so fun. People only share the best of the best and you’re not seeing anything below that.”

Teigen said she resists posting things that might be embarrassing for her children, 3-year-old Luna and 1-year-old Miles, later in life.

“I don’t really post any things that the kids would be ashamed of or mad at me for posting,” she said. “I see a lot of people posting their kids’ tantrums and having supermeltdowns. I don’t post that stuff just because that, to me, is like – I wouldn’t want someone to do that. You try to protect them, of course, but for the most part, aside from the kids, there is no limit.”
