Model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen begged that the @POTUS Twitter account unfollow her on Tuesday, saying it was necessary for her to “flourish.”
“I have tweeted a handful of times since my treasured @POTUS following. In order for me to flourish as me, I must ask you to please lord unfollow me. I love you!!! It’s not you it’s me!!!!” Teigen tweeted.

The Presidential Twitter account followed Teigen one day after President Biden’s inauguration, with Teigen as the only celebrity among the dozen accounts that @POTUS follows.
Teigen, who endorsed Biden in the presidential election along with her husband John Legend, had been blocked by former President Trump throughout his presidency.
On Biden’s inauguration day, Teigen tweeted, “hello @joebiden I have been blocked by the president for four years can I get a follow plz,” with her request apparently fulfilled.
hello @joebiden I have been blocked by the president for four years can I get a follow plz

At the time, Teigen appeared to be pleased with the new follower, writing, “my heart oh my god lmao I can finally see the president’s tweets and they probably won’t be unhinged.”
But Teigen was apparently uncomfortable using curse words while the president’s Twitter account was following her:
One hour later, Teigen let out a string of expletives after the @POTUS account unfollowed her, writing, “b**ch f**k s**t suck the d I am FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!”
bitch fuck shit suck the d I am FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!

The @POTUS account no longer follows Teigen as of Tuesday afternoon.
