Chrissy Teigen and John Legend Shame Twitter Into Revoking Pizzagater's Verified Badge
Model Chrissy Teigen and singer John Legend got themselves dragged into the stupidest possible controversy this weekend when self-proclaimed “investigative journalist” and far-right activist Liz Crokin, who Twitter in their unending wisdom had decided to give a verified account, accused them of involvement in the debunked “Pizzagate” scandal.
On Saturday, Teigen posted that she was “pretty disturbed” at how quickly Crokin’s unfounded accusation that the celebrity couple was trafficking their child in a satanic D.C. pedophile ring had spread on the site. She specifically called out Twitter for handing a verified badge to Crokin, whose entire account seems devoted to accusing random people of sexually abusing children.
“Thank you, Twitter, for verifying somebody who is essentially accusing me (with pictures of my daughter) of child abuse and pedophilia to their 50,000 followers,” Teigen wrote.

Legend also joined in to threaten a lawsuit and warn one of the conspiracy theorists that “Y’all almost got someone killed,” referencing an incident in 2016 when a gunman who believed Pizzagate was real stormed and shot up a D.C.-area pizza restaurant.
