Chrissy Teigen EXCLUSIVE: Embattled model explores Florence amid cyberbullying scandal – Daily Mail

She has been in the midst of a cyberbullying scandal these last few weeks and even temporarily retreated from social media in the wake of the backlash.  

But, now thousands of miles away from her problems, Chrissy Teigen couldn’t have looked any happier as she explored the captivating Italian city of Florence with her family on Saturday.

The model, 35, set her worries to the side as she took in the historic sights while holding hands with her husband John Legend, 42. 

Flower in her hair, Chrissy didn’t seem to have a care in the world as she took in the sights wearing a stunning, layered bird print gown with nude top.  

The beauty looked absolutely enchanting with her light brunette tresses cascading down in loose waves and a coat of makeup accentuating her radiant complexion.

John carried their daughter Luna, five, in his arms while holding hands with his precious son Miles, three.   

Being every inch the doting dad, the Ordinary People singer even placed his daughter upon his shoulders, allowing her a far better view of the stunning sights.   

Looking stylish as usual, the All Of Me singer wore a partially unbuttoned yellow floral print shirt, beige slacks, and smart white sneakers. 

Luna also enjoyed some quality time with her mother, as the model scooped the youngster into her arms.

Chrissy grinned with glee as she gazed adoringly at her mini me daughter, who played with her mother’s vibrant red flower.  

As their adventures continued, Chrissy cooled down with an ice cream cone as her husband stopped for photos. 

The singer-turned-photographer stooped low to the floor in order to get just the right photo. 

Afterwards, he showed his love the finished product on his phone as she continued munching on her ice cream cone.  

The couple also ventured into a plaza overlooking the gorgeous city, where John sweetly took photos of his beautiful wife. 

After their impromptu photo session, which included snaps of the couple, Chrissy snuggled up to her boyfriend as they took in the moment. 

For a moment, the scandal involving Chrissy back home seemed out of sight, out of mind.  

Chrissy initially went silent on social media in May after former reality star Courtney Stodden revealed that Chrissy had sent them a series of bullying tweets in 2011, when they were only 16.

In one of the caustic tweets, she urged Courtney, who is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns, to take a ‘dirt nap,’ a euphemism for dying.

Chrissy subsequently shared a public apology and went mostly silent on Twitter, though she has begun reappearing on her Instagram account.

But in June, Project Runway designer Michael Costello reenergized the debate over Chrissy’s social media persona by claiming that she sent him a series of bullying direct messages and hounded him over a photoshopped racist social media post.

He claimed to have suffered suicidal thoughts brought on by the online harassment and the damage it allegedly did to his business.

On June 18, a furious Chrissy returned fire and claimed that the messages Michael shared had been ‘fabricated,’ while her husband John Legend also supported her.

‘No idea what the f**** Michael Costello is doing,’ she tweeted.

In her statement, Chrissy said that her Instagram handle had been misspelled in the screenshots posted by Michael, and she also claimed that the screenshots showed Instagram design elements that weren’t part of the site at the time the messages were allegedly sent.

Amid her social media scandals, the catwalk star has relied on her husband John.

She shared a sweet Father’s Day photo of him with their five-year-old daughter Luna and three-year-old son Miles with a loving caption.

‘There are no words. Only tears that I am fresh out of,’ she wrote, possibly alluding to the scandal. ‘To our everything, we love you forever.’

The Cameroonian singer Dencia joined in on the bullying scandal when she claimed that Chrissy had pushed her twice at the 2016 Grammy Awards after allegedly believing that the singer’s assistant had recorded her on his phone.
