Chrissy Teigen finally revealed on Thursday that her late son, Back, passed away in a life-saving abortion and wasn’t a miscarriage as many perceived.
“Two years ago, when I was pregnant with Jack, John and I had to make a lot of difficult and heartbreaking decisions,” Teigen said at Propper Daley’s “A Day of Unreasonable Conversation” summit. “It became very clear around halfway through that he would not survive, and that I wouldn’t either without any medical intervention.”
The Cravings founder, who shares daughter Luna and son Miles with crooner John Legend and is currently pregnant, noted she had tremendous medical care and a wonderful support system but only recently realized she had an abortion.
“Let’s just call it what it was: It was an abortion,” Teigen, 36, said. “An abortion to save my life for a baby that had absolutely no chance. And to be honest, I never, ever put that together until, actually, a few months ago.”
Teigen said she hadn’t made sense of it in that way until the Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade. She had been sympathizing with the people who would have had to make difficult choices when Legend reminded her she had been one of them.
“I fell silent, feeling weird that I hadn’t made sense of it that way,” Teigen shared. “I told the world we had a miscarriage, the world agreed we had a miscarriage, all the headlines said it was a miscarriage. I became really frustrated that I didn’t, in the first place, say what it was, and I felt silly that it had taken me over a year to actually understand that we had had an abortion.”
Teigen and Legend, 43, had announced at the end of September 2020 that they had lost their baby boy in a miscarriage alongside a series of heartbreaking black-and-white photos taken inside their hospital room.
In medical terms a miscarriage is termed a “spontaneous abortion”.
Mary, you are absolutely correct! I had 2 of them over 40 years ago and that’s what they were called Spontaneous Abortion and I’m quite sure she was told that was what it was called! She will say or do anything for attention! Or should I say whine for attention!
Wow, not very smart is she?
BLAH BLAH BLAH WTF cares? These low-life no value libs think it’s all about them. Truth is the world would be a better place without them.
Just because the docs say it won’t survive doesn’t mean the baby won’t be ok….
A lot of nasty low-life right-wingers in this comment section. The woman literally needed an abortion or she wouldn’t have survived. So that’s what happened. Show some respect to someone in the public eye who is letting others know they are not alone.
I think if the baby didnt have much of a chance to survive and it threatens the life of the mother then she has every right to . But alot of women who use it for birth control is wrong in my book .
Bridgette, you are the nasty low life. Medical emergencies are not included in anti abortion legislation. Nice try. As Roy states, its the sleazy sluts that think it is their easy way out that are desperate to have the “right” for child murder on demand. I don’t even want to imagine what you are, but it is nothing good. Now slink off back to your Satan worshipping cult.
my first pregnancy ended in my fourth month. I started spotting and my doctor couldn’t find a heartbeat. The fetus had not developed past 6 weeks and my body had not aborted it. I had a D and C to remove it. My doctor called it a missed abortion. My body didn’t abort the fetus naturally. I will never consider myself having an abortion. Tiegan is disgusting. She seems proud thinking she had an abortion.
Chrissy, you did what was necessary. All these idiots who think differently hasn’t been in that situation or else they wouldn’t be criticizing you. God bless you and Jack’s soul 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
