Chrissy Teigen publicly apologized for being a bully, following statements by model Courtney Stodden.
"Not many people are lucky enough to take responsibility for their past stupidities in front of the whole world. I am upset and sad about what I once was. I was an insecure man, demanding attention. I'm guilty and completely ashamed of my behavior, but that's nothing compared to the way I made Courtney feel. I have worked so hard to give you joy and to feel loved and the feeling of being disappointed is almost unbearable, really. ” - Chrissy said in a post on Twitter.
Then he added:
"I have tried to contact Courtney privately, but since I have done everything publicly, I want to apologize publicly. I'm so sorry, Courtney. I hope you are better now that I know how much I have repented. And I feel that I have disappointed you. I will always work to be a better person than I was 10 years ago, 1 year ago or 6 months ago. ”
10 years ago, when Courtney was 16, she married actor Doug Hutchison, then 50. This news caused a stir in that period and became the subject of speculation, intrigue and ridicule by many people on social networks. The couple divorced in March 2020.
When Chrissy Teigen shut down Twitter in March - because of negativity, according to her - Courtney joked that the negativity on Twitter itself has fed Chrissy for years.
Më pas ajo publikoi disa postime të vjetra të Teigen, që prej vitit 2011, kur kjo e fundit tallej me faktin se llogaria e Courtney-t në Facebook ishte mbyllur, duke përmendur nazistët në krahasim.
"Të thuash se Courtney-t iu mbyll Facebook-u sepse ishte "shumë seksi", është si të thuash se nazistët ishin thjesht ca njerëz egoistë. Hmm...jo dhe aq", shkroi Teigen në një postim përpara 10 vitesh.
Në postime të tjera, Teigen shkruante se fantazia e saj e të premtes ishte "Courtney Stodden në një "dirt nap" - term që përdoret për "gjumë të përjetshëm, vdekje". Në një tjetër postim shkruante: "Shko fli, përgjithmonë".
Në një intervistë të fundit me Daily Beast, Courtney u shpreh se Chrissy i shkruante mesazhe private duke i thënë: “Vrit veten” ose “Mezi po pres të vdesësh”.
Hours after Chrissy apologized, in an Instagram post Courtney said she accepts the apology, though she seems to not believe it.
"I accept her forgiveness and I forgive her. But the truth remains the same, I have never been contacted by her privately [to apologize to me]. In fact, it blocked me on Twitter. "All I want to believe is that this is a sincere apology, but it seems like a public effort to save the partnership with the brands, which are realizing that its 'wokeness' does not exist."
Note: Wokeness or Woke is a term that dates back to 1940 and refers to the concept of awareness of issues and social movements and is mainly associated with progressive causes, human rights, problems with racism, etc.
