Chrissy Teigen appalled by new people judging app
Model Chrissy Teigen has blasted the brains behind an insensitive new app, which urges users to judge people they meet.
The new Peeple app allows Internet trolls to rate people like they do restaurants and hotels on Yelp and TripAdvisor, and Teigen is convinced it's a terrible idea.
"In an age where both truth and gossip on the Internet can
literally ruin lives, this #peeple app is horrible AND scary," the
29 year old wrote on Twitter.
She believes the app will help bullies torment their victims: "This
is a real app. It needs not to be... We have to make sure our
kids/teens stand a freaking chance in this world."
Her Thursday morning (01Oct15) tweet sparked an online
conversation, which only appeared to rile the model and TV
personality up more.
"So I should just be silent?" she asked. "Things like this need to
be called out. It's trending. I'm not breaking news.
"At least I signed up to have the world judge and grade me
publicly. I f**king hate this app and the boardroom table it was
created around."
