![]() “If there was a pop culture pile-on, I took to Twitter to try to gain attention and show off what I at the time believed was a crude, clever, harmless quip,” Teigen wrote. She admitted that she was immature, insecure and used Twitter to become famous early in her modeling career. Teigen said she personally has reached out to the people she has insulted - presumably Stodden - and explained the process of becoming a Twitter troll in the early days of the social media platform. “Not a day, not a single moment has passed where I haven’t felt the crushing weight of regret for the things I’ve said in the past.” “I’ve been sitting in a hole of deserved global punishment, the ultimate ‘sit here and think about what you’ve done,'” she said. She called herself “a troll” and an “ass-” and wrote about the agony she’s been living in since the controversy erupted last month. In her Medium post Monday, she said “I am so sorry,” both to the young female celebrities she attacked, and to her fans. Teigen first apologized on Twitter May 12 and then went silent on social media. So far, many of Teigen’s fans believe she should be forgiven and say that everyone has said and done mean things in their past that they regret, but it remains to be seen whether others, including her corporate sponsors, will be moved by her statement. Will Teigen’s latest apology help her be forgiven in the court of public opinion for telling a then-16-year-old Courtney Stodden to commit suicide? Will her statement, issued as a blog post on Medium, allow the supermodel wife of singer John Legend to resume her lucrative career as a Twitter personality, cookbook author and life-style influencer? Chrissy Teigen on Monday issued a second, very lengthy and urgent apology about her “awful” tweets from 10 years ago that recently resurfaced and forced her to admit that she was a “troll” who cyber-bullied a teenaged TV personality and other celebrities.
