Sassy Chrissy Teigen shuts down body shamers

Sometimes the sweetest statement can be the sharpest burn.

After Chrissy Teigen posted a photo from her Sports Illustrated shoot for the magazine's annual swimsuit issue to her Instagram account Monday, hypercritical Internet trolls aimed fire.

So excited to announce my 7th appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition - I had to count that a million times before I believed it! My @si_swimsuit family, I love you! There is nothing like being a part of this brand and this issue. My shoot was in beautiful Zanzibar and shot by the incomparable @ruvenafanador, who is just as wonderful, kind, serene and lovely as everyone has ever told me. He thinks about every little aspect of a photo, every detail. HMU by @peterbutlerhair and @joannegair I LOVE you and am so lucky you allow me to be in your chairs! @mj_day and @darciebaum and @ja_neyney @hillarydrezner and @karencarpk - you are my family. I am proud to be in the issue but SO proud of all the work you guys put into this every single year. I just love you all. Jesus this is dramatic I know! And to all my fellow @si_swimsuit girls, congrats on a beautiful issue!!! I will see you this week in MIAMI!!!! I can't wait to kiss all your beautiful faces!

Among the thousands of photo comments were words of praise, but also an influx of hate. Teigen posted a second photo, both to further promote her shoot and respond to the body shamers.

The @si_swimsuit edition is on stands tooooo-day! (Shoutout to everyone dissecting every little part of my bod in the last comment thread, you're all really wonderful, kind, flawless beauties - I can tell from your pages!! ❤️❤️❤️) A photo posted by chrissy teigen (@chrissyteigen) on Feb 15, 2016 at 9:44am PST
