Chrissy Teigen advocates for a social media curfew after TikTok ban drama: 'Life was great before this'
Share:
TikTok was blocked in the United States for about 14 hours and once it came back, Chrissy Teigen had an epiphany. The Deal or No Deal star, 39, recorded a series of videos on her Instagram Stories revealing her idea. She laid in bed, wrapped in a white towel while she discussed what social media has done to society.

'I personally think that one day there will be the most incredible rule,' Chrissy – who evacuated her home with her family during the LA fires – began in the video. 'I think the government, or some kind of ethics committee — somebody — should shut off social media between 6 p.m and 6 a.m. Leave it all up.

'Everyone gets to do anything they want, but only between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Shut it off. Done,' she continued. TikTok was blocked in the United States for about 14 hours and once it came back, Chrissy Teigen, 39, had an epiphany. The mom of four went on to reassure her younger fans that there was life before social media and it was pretty great.

'Guys, life was great. Life was awesome before this,' she said. 'I know it's hard to see it now. But it's doable. It's very doable. 'This doesn't have to be our lives. And I say this for myself as well because — obviously — I'm on here [social media] right now doing this. But it doesn't have to define us or be our whole lives,' she concluded.

Before TikTok went dark, Chrissy predicted Donald Trump would use it as a power play to make himself look like a savior. To be clear, Trump originally called for the ban, Joe Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban on Friday, and the platform itself posted odd messages saying Trump would save the app when U.S. users tried to access the service on Saturday night.
