Model and television personality Chrissy Teigen, was attacked mercilessly on social media after she announced the heartbreaking news of losing her baby. Teigen took to Instagram and Twitter last night to share her agony.

She released a statement saying, “We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before. We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn’t enough.
.
.
We never decide on our babies’ names until the last possible moment after they’re born, just before we leave the hospital.  But we, for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack.  So he will always be Jack to us.  Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever.
.
.
To our Jack – I’m so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications, that we couldn’t give you the home you needed to survive.  We will always love you.
.
.
Thank you to everyone who has been sending us positive energy, thoughts and prayers.  We feel all of your love and truly appreciate you.
.

We are so grateful for the life we have, for our wonderful babies Luna and Miles, for all the amazing things we’ve been able to experience.  But everyday can’t be full of sunshine.  On this darkest of days, we will grieve, we will cry our eyes out. But we will hug and love each other harder and get through it.”

Teigen has a huge fan following and is a popular on both Twitter and Instagram for her unique style, interesting pictures, wit and vocal views on politics and culture. Many of her celebrity friends and supporters offered words of compassion and support.

However, many social media users made disparaging comments against her choice of sharing pictures showing her grief, many even insinuating Teigen and her husband John Legend were doing this for publicity!

The vile comments only go on to show how low people can stoop and how judgmental they can get, even in face of such a tragedy.
