After this, she went on sharing her story. According to Teigen, a waiter recommended a “nice Cabernet” to Teigen and her husband, John Legend, and the couple were in for a surprise when they received the bill.
“One time john and I were at a restaurant and the waiter recommended a nice Cabernet. We got the bill and it was 13,000 dollars. HOW DO U CASUALLY RECOMMEND THAT WINE. we didn’t even finish it and it had been cleared!!!” (sic).

The post started trending on Twitter very quickly, garnering over 2 000 quote tweets since the time of publication. Twitter users called her “insensitive” and many others made fun of her wealth.
“People are not going to relate to this,” wrote one user.
“Did you recover?” one user tweeted. “Meanwhile people are out here drowning in debt, losing their homes, and can’t afford to see a doctor.”
Another user came to her defence and wrote: “people should be more concerned that a waiter recommended a $13K bottle of wine that wasn’t even good. To the haters – you’d buy expensive wine if you were rich too so stfu.”
Teigen went on addressing the criticism and wrote, “Hey, not everything I say on my twitter is going to be relatable to you because it is my life and my twitter and my stories. I see your tweets, I get your jokes, you are so funny, yes, you really nailed me.”
