Chrissy Teigen has copped hate online after saying the next time she flies with United Airlines, she'll be doing it bare-breasted.

The model made the call after the airline prevented two 10-year-old girls from boarding a plane because they were wearing leggings.

Teigen took to Twitter to claim she's flown on the airline "with literally no pants on - just a top as a dress" and that next time she flies, she'll wear "only jeans and a scarf".

She also tweeted that it was a "real crime" that a Daily Mail employee had searched for stock photos of 10-year-olds in leggings.

Teigen received some negative responses to her message for United Airlines and got into a nasty back-and-forth with Twitter user @mdubs22nj in particular.

He accused her of "dick riding a celeb" in reference to her marriage with John Legend, while she called him "tool face", "pathetic" and "fragile as f**k".

Mostly, though, her message brought forth support from her fans.
