Coulter tweeted about the alleged remark — which has sparked [widespread international outrage](http://time.com/5100328/shithole-countries-trump-reactions/) — on Friday. “Announcing the opening of Shithole Air — Free, 1-way travel, back to the country of your choice,” she wrote. Her comment prompted a retort from Teigen, who called out the the conservative pundit for taking advantage of a “racist, hateful marketplace.” “I don’t believe you really believe all the things you say,” Teigen replied to Coulter’s tweet. “You found an opening in the racist, hateful marketplace and secured it. But when you’re old, you will not be proud of the life you lived. Of anger and hate. Pandering to the angry and hateful. It really is a shame.” See the full exchange below. > [](https://twitter.com/anncoulter/status/951847838744539136) > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/951918298383314944) Coulter has yet to respond. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5101800/chrissy-teigen-ann-coulter-racist-tweet/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5101800/chrissy-teigen-ann-coulter-racist-tweet/"},"headline":"Chrissy Teigen Calls Out Ann Coulter for Response to Trump's Shithole Countries' Remark","datePublished":"2018-01-12T22:09:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:49:45.373Z","description":"\"When you’re old, you will not be proud of the life you lived\"","url":"https://time.com/5101800/chrissy-teigen-ann-coulter-racist-tweet/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","twitter","Chrissy Teigen","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc290f87edc9ebcf2/6988f82a096a94c66c6a116b/teigen-coulter.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc290f87edc9ebcf2/6988f82a096a94c66c6a116b/teigen-coulter.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"teigen-coulter","caption":"teigen-coulter","creditText":"Teigen: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic/Getty Images; Coulter: Sonia Moskowitz—WireImage/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5101800/chrissy-teigen-ann-coulter-racist-tweet/","name":"Chrissy Teigen Calls Out Ann Coulter for Response to Trump's Shithole Countries' Remark"}}]}] ```
