Chrissy Teigen is one of dozens of celebrities standing in solidarity with protestors in Minnesota and across America.
The model, author and philanthropist has pledged to donate $200,000 to help bail out those who are arrested protesting police brutality following the recent death of George Floyd – a 46-year-old African-American man, who was filmed lying on the ground handcuffed, with a white police officer’s knee on his neck.
Chrissy initially made a $100,000 pledge to help after US President Donald Trump declared Saturday night “MAGA night at the white house.”
In celebration of whatever the fuck maga night is, I am committed to donating $100,000 to the bail outs of protestors across the country.

She decided to up the amount to $200,000 a few minutes later after a Twitter user called the protestors “rioters and criminals.”
Ooo they might need more money then. Make it $200,000 https://t.co/axuJnazJkU

She’s not the only one bailing out protestors. Actors Seth Rogen, Steve Carrell and Don Cheadle have also made donations to support the cause.
