I'm sorry but most people are not experts in anything other than Jack and well that other thing. The actual concept of how one develops expertise or to have mastery to the level of expertise in any given subject was to have 10,000 hours of practice in it. For most people, myself included, that means we're all probably experts at blowing our noses and using the toilet (though I sometimes question male skill with that lol).
Opinions don't require expertise. They just require a mouth or fingers (if typing) and a somewhat functioning brain to state. Just like your opinion or mine on this thread. It's as relevant or irrelevant as the reader makes it. Is it sexist to say she should stick to modelling? No but it's also basically stating that she can only tweet an opinion about modelling. What do you do for a living? If you're going to avoid hypocrisy, perhaps you should stick to voicing your opinions on things that only are involved with your own career?
The hypocrisy is that she uses her gain in life, modeling which is her using her body to sell stuff, as the platform to make statements relevant.

And actually, US laws don't apply as she is not a US citizen.

Without the 2nd, there would be no 1st.
It may be a comfort to know that a good part of the civilised world is thankful it is not like the US. Perspective is everything. Meanwhile, if you're going to participate in an international forum, you are going to get international commentary. May as well get used to it.

Exactly. Well said.
It's annoying to me when people in other countries attempt to tell us what we need in America. We are the most powerful nation on Earth. We'll make our own decisions, thank you very much. In this case, we're entitled to gun ownership & without it, we would be like the UK.
No thanks.
