Apparently, ABC is not the only one who thinks bringing Chrissy on the show isn't the right decision as one fan slams the 'Cravings' author, saying that she 'has absolutely no discernible talent.'

AceShowbiz - The first season of ABC's "Bring the Funny" is just one episode away to its finale. Chrissy Teigen is among the judges on the comedy competition series, but it seems like her job is in jeopardy as the network's executivesallegedly are having regrets over their decision to hire the supermodel.

"There were objections in the room right away," gossip writer A.J. Benza reports in his Fame column. " 'Why are we hiring a former supermodel to judge a comedy competition?' But…the decision was made anyway. And now there are regrets."

Chrissy is known for her witty remarks on social media and it seems to be one of the reasons why ABC puts faith in her despite having zero background in stand-up comedy. Additionally, she has massive 11.4 million Twitter followers which is hoped to help bring viewers to the show.

Now that it doesn't happen, Chrissy will reportedly be replaced by someone with a background in stand-up comedy if the flailing show ever gets renewed for a second season.

Apparently, ABC is not the only one who thinks bringing Chrissy on the show isn't the right decision. One fan slammed the "Cravings" author in his Twitter post on Monday, September 2, writing, "@bringthefunny Not every act can be hilarious and the best ever. If everything is volume 10, nothing is volume 10. That's the reason this show isn't very entertaining. Also @chrissyteigen has absolutely no discernible talent."

Taking notice of the tweet, Chrissy simply responded, "Ur a b***h." That prompted the user to apologize to the star. "I shouldn't have said that. I just tweeted it out of frustration while watching the show. Sometimes we (I) forget there are real people with real feelings on the other side of the screen," said the person.

Still not having it, the wife of John Legend wrote back, "I see this and appreciate what you've said. I'm not a comedian but I love comedy, as many people do. my role as a judge is to get to be a voice of the people -- people who enjoy comedy and enjoy learning from the experts surrounding me."

The interaction continued as the user went on admitting to feeling envious of Chrissy's job. "My sincere apologies. I’m just like you, a fan of comedy. I’m honestly a bit envious," he tweeted. "That got the best of me and I learned the hard way not to say dumb hurtful stuff. It's not my nature to do that. I hope you accept my apology. I deserved the wrath of your fans. #wokemeup."

Ending the back and forth, Chrissy replied, "all good -- we all have our moments (including me 1000 times over) -- don't beat yourself up over it, I have heard it all and can tell you are a kind man!"
