It certainly seems that way after the mess that went down this week that ended with her tweeting:
I feel sick. Bye Twitter. Taking my talents to instagram.

So how did this start?? On Wednesday, Chrissy heard the news of the shooting in Canada and dropped the controversial tweet:
active shooting in Canada, or as we call it in america, wednesday

Obviously Chrissy was referring to the pervasive gun control problem our country has faced the past few years, a very real problem that needs addressing.
Whether you were offended by her gallows humor or thought her timing was inappropriate, what came next is unequivocally heinous.
Chrissy began to receive tons of tweets, especially after FoxNews called out her controversial tweet.
Angry Twitter users called her every expletive in the book, told her to leave the country, and borderline threatened her life.
She tried as she often does to reply to all these tweeters rationally, but after a while it clearly became too much for her. She tweeted:
Amazing this isn’t punishable. RT “@fvvvvvvvvvvvvck I hope someone murders some you love, like your faggot husband”

Eventually it was all too much for Chrissy.
Has she quit Twitter for good? We certainly hope not.
But we understand why she wouldn’t want to be on a social media platform where this kind of horribleness was allowed.
