One Twitter user expressed their belief that Vanessa should have been more careful.
Chrissy replied, 'Totally! But we all have stupid moments and some people (like me) have a lot of passion and things don’t come out the way we mean it.'

What Vanessa said
Vanessa sparked backlash after she told her followers during an Instagram live, "I'm sorry, but like it's a virus. I get it. I respect it."
"But at the same time, even if everybody gets it, like, yeah, people are gonna die, which is terrible but inevitable."
"I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't be doing this right now."
Following backlash, Vanessa has released a public apology on Twitter.
She said, 'I'm so sorry for the way I have offended anyone and everyone who has seen the clip from my Instagram live yesterday.'
'I realize my words were insensitive and not at all appropriate for the situation our country and the world are in right now.'
Vanessa went on, 'This has been a huge wake up call about the significance my words have, now more than ever.'
'I'm sending safe wishes to everyone to stay safe and healthy during this crazy time.'
