  • Chrissy Teigen shared a photo of her C-section birth after a troll claimed she used a fake baby bump. 
  • Teigen, 37, said she was excited to have a C-section after two vaginal deliveries. 
  • Teigen and John Legend's baby, Esti, was born in January, two years after a pregnancy loss. 

Chrissy Teigen is clapping back at trolls who claim she wore a fake bump and used a surrogate to carry and deliver her baby daughter Esti. 

Teigen, 37, now a mom of three with her husband John Legend, shared a photo on her Instagram stories of her Cesarean section delivery in January. 

The model, cookbook author, and entrepreneur said she was inspired to share the photo in response to hateful comments on her Instagram. She posted a screenshot from one commenter, who wrote that Teigen was "born male" and "used something called a moonbump" to fake her pregnancy while using a surrogate. "I'm a huge fan of Chrissy by the way," the commenter added. 

Teigen said she was "obsessed" with the comment, before posting her birth photo.
