Chrissy then took it upon herself to address the tweet — saying many misinterpreted her verbiage.

“a lot of u really misinterpreted this tweet and I guess that’s on me. I didn’t say I have nothing, I said I have nothing I do for just me. A convo with a therapist. A hobby. Cause I lost a baby. And I’m figuring myself out. And i didn’t buy a horse. But oh my god, what if I did?”

She additionally added how she did not own the horse. What do you think? Be sure to comment below!
