Future Women's History Month: Chrissy Teigen's Spitfire Tenacity

Fuse is celebrating Women's History Month by looking at a variety of rising forces who are creating Future Women's History before our eyes. Today we are honoring Chrissy Teigen, whose unapologetic and carefree attitude inspires others to be there honest and kooky selves. Because in the end, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks!

We were first introduced to Teigen when she made her debut on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2010, which kicked off a successful modeling career. Since then, the Utah native has expanded her brand as a Hollywood personality, co-hosting with LL Cool J on Spike TV's Lip Sync Battle, a stint on the FABLife talk show and a cook. The multi-faceted Teigen released her first cookbook Cravings in February 2016, which later became a New York Times bestseller.

In the midst of building her brand, Teigen quickly became known for her sharp, witty and no-holds-barred sense of humor that was mainly found on Twitter. She expertly shuts down trolls and bullies online, while also defending her close celebrity friends. After Kim Kardashian received online hate following the Paris assault, Teigen called out the double standards of fame. "Fame is interesting. Celebs are supposed to love you guys while also knowing you'd make a meme of our dead bodies to get retweets," she tweeted. "I dunno. It's hard to explain because everyone thinks money and fame is pure awesome, so it just sounds whiny. I get it, trust me. Go off."
