Chrissy Teigen slammed for using Goya beans after vowing to boycott brand for its Trump support: 'Hypocrite'
The brand’s CEO received backlash for calling Trump ‘a leader’
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Chrissy Teigen is being criticized on social media for posting a cooking tutorial featuring Goya beans, weeks after encouraging her followers to boycott the brand.
Goya CEO Robert Unanue spoke at a Rose Garden event last month to announce the “Hispanic Property Initiative.” During his speech, which has since gone viral, he said Americans are "truly blessed" to have a "leader like President Trump."
Shortly after the speech, many celebrities including Teigen, 34, announced that they would no longer support the brand due to its CEO's support of the president.

Ivanka Trump later posted a photo in support of Goya that angered Teigen even more.
Teigen reposted the photo on Twitter and wrote, “Had it with anyone who EVER defends this woman or puts her as the ‘sane’ one in this family. What a repulsive trolling of the people.
She added: “Also (in the SEA of illegal s--t this family does) is this even ethically ok or legal??”
