Chrissy Teigen has had enough of Snapchat.
Announcing that she had stopped using the popular social media platform on Saturday, the model and cookbook author explained there were a few factors behind her decision, including a controversial ad Snapchat ran that alluded to the 2009 incident between Rihanna and then-boyfriend Chris Brown, when he assaulted the pop star in his car ahead of a Grammy Awards party.
The ad was for a game called “Would You Rather,” and asked users if they would rather slap Rihanna or punch Brown.
“I stopped using snap. The update, the constant complaints of people not being able to find me, plus the Rihanna poll…no bueno,” the 32-year-old wrote on social media.
Teigen also responded to a Twitter user who commented that whenever celebrities speak out against social media apps, employees who had nothing to do with the problems can lose their jobs because of lost ad revenue.
“Concerns have been brought up for months and this isn’t different from any other company where quality affects sales,” Teigen wrote.
“Everyone has been very vocal about the changes and frustrations. Consumers shouldn’t *have* to work with companies beyond that,” she added.
