Chrissy Teigen has responded to a backlash that was sparked after she told a story about the most expensive purchase she ever regretted.

"What's the most expensive thing you've eaten that you thought sucked?" she asked. "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!!!" After tweeting the story, she was met with criticism after people accused her of flexing her wealth as people struggle amid the pandemic.
