Chelsea Clinton recently came to Chrissy Teigen [2]'s aid after conservative writer Liz Crokin accused her and John Legend of being involved in "Pizzagate," a debunked conspiracy theory that suggests entertainers are part of a child sex-trafficking ring. Crokin tweeted photos of the pair's 2-year-old daughter, Luna, in various Halloween costumes, including a hot dog ensemble, and noted that Chrissy's use of a pizza emoji after her name on Snapchat proves the accusations are true. The allegations clearly got to Chrissy and John, who both fired back tweets to Crokin.
Alright. I debated saying something about this but I'm pretty disturbed over here. The fact that there are people with these...thoughts...is really scary. pic.twitter.com/9OtWKHxUgR [3]

You need to take my family's name out of your mouth before you get sued. https://t.co/bPTwiBAs97 [5]

After seeing the back-and-forth tweets, Chelsea Clinton decided, parent to parent, to stand up for Chrissy and John by responding directly to one of Chrissy's tweets [7] on the matter, and honestly, we're here for it. Having strong mamas like Chelsea in your corner definitely makes fighting back against internet trolls a bit easier, and Chelsea and Chrissy's Twitter thread shows just how much of an impact moms supporting each other can make.
Chrissy, sending you & beautiful Luna a huge hug. It is awful & never ok when people threaten or demean any child. I've lost count of the Twitter accounts who've threatened Charlotte with #FGM [8]. While I never bother to report threats against me, I now report every one against her.

Chrissy really seemed to appreciate the advice and sent back a heartfelt tweet:
I feel silly even worrying about this in comparison to the magnitude of slander and threats you and your family have dealt with for decades. These people are truly sick and scary. Love to you, Charlotte and Marc!!

It is never silly to worry about your kids. Always here to support you and your family in any way. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this.

Now that's the type of mom-to-mom support we love to see.
