Chrissy Teigen posted on Twitter to share her joy after the latest winner of NBC’s “The Voice” was crowned on Tuesday night, and she had the best response to people who criticized her for “spoiling” the results.

Teigen didn't stop there. She joked that in light of her "spoiler," the trophy was going to be given to "The Voice" host Carson Daly.
well it looks like we are now being penalized for my spoiler and the award has been taken away and given to Carson Daly. Again I apologize

The model's backhanded apology sparked plenty of tweets from fans who agreed with her and said that if people didn't want the winner spoiled, they should have stayed away from social media. Many also said that it was acceptable for her to post considering that the show's official account shared the news first.
Truly everyone needs to get a grip. IF U CARE THAT MUCH STAY OFF TWITTER PPL.

Keep being his rock. His cheerleader. His queen 👑! We respect it and if they didn’t want it spoiled they wouldn’t have put it on social. You’re good.

You should just go door to door and deliver the news one on one, to each viewer individually before celebrating. It’s the only way.
