Chrissy Teigen: Pretty on the Outside

Courtney Stodden, singer/model/author/actress, called out Chrissy Teigen, model/author/lifestyle guru, for being a hypocrite.  "Hypochrissy Teigen" she said, can dish it out but can't take it.  Chrissy, the Queen of Clapback on Twitter, has millions of followers thanks to her quick come-backs and sheer genius replies (when twitter feuding with a comedian she replied "much like your career, I have no comeback.  You win!").  But in March of 2021, the negativity and endless trolling in Twitter got to Chrissy and she decided to quit forever and live in a gentler, troll-free, world.  That's when Courtney spoke up...back in 2011, Chrissy Teigen cyber-bullied then 16 year old Courtney Stodden with name calling and encouraging suicide. Much of the harassment was public, but some of it was direct messaging.  Chrissy Teigen, a 26 year old successful model, publicly tweeted a troubled 16 year old with slut shaming and suggestions to "go. to sleep. forever."  The direct messages were worse, and though unverified, if true, say things like "I can't wait for you to die" and straight out suggest for Courtney to kill themself (Courtney has recently come out as non-binary).

Chrissy's own trolling is catching up with her, but she's escaped such issues in the past.  Is this time different?  Is Chrissy being canceled or suffering the consequences of her actions?  It wasn't just Chrissy who attacked a helpless teenager, Anderson Cooper, Joy Behar, and even Courtney Love (remember her?) but Chrissy seems to have been the only one to wish death upon a teenager.

Note to our non-binary listeners: we tried and tripped countless times when using pronouns to speak about Courtney's story.  We misgendered them a number of times, and while we acknowledge our errors during recording, we still failed to live up to our own standards of respect.  Our heartfelt acknowledgement of this issue with apologies, and a promise to try better.

TEIGEN UPDATE: Macy's has stopped carrying Chrissy's cookware line as of May 18, 2021.  You may hear that Target also stopped carrying Chrissy's "Cravings" line, but that was a deal that ended in December 2020, long before this story became public.
