The aftermath of Chrissy Teigen’s bullying and harassment comments that have haunted her 10 years later, is still being felt by the businesswoman.
The American model made a return to social media in June after she told then 16-year-old, MTV Teen Mom star Courtney Stodden, to “kill herself” for marrying a man in his 50s.
Teigen’s Twitter messages to Stodden from 2011 resurfaced in May 2021. Teigen apologised and went on a social media hiatus due to the mounting criticism. Her critics called for her to be “cancelled” because of her past commentary on other celebs controversies.
“Cancelled” has been a widely used term since 2020 and it refers to not giving any more support to a celebrity or well-known figure for their offensive comments or criminal actions, as defined by Merriam Webster.
She was once hailed as leading social media’s “wokeness”, for her brutal honesty and publicly shaming American politicians.
In a lengthy Instagram post, Teigen said it felt “weird” to be back and “pretend nothing happened”.
“Going outside sucks and doesn’t feel right, being at home alone with my mind makes my depressed head race. But I do know that however I’m handling this now isn’t the right answer. I feel lost and need to find my place again. I need to snap out of this. I desperately wanna [sic] communicate with you guys, instead of pretending everything is okay. I’m not used to any other way. Cancel club is a fascinating thing and I have learned a whole lot.”

Teigen has admitted she overshares about her life, including in this post which was picked apart by her detractors.
“I can’t do this silent shit anymore. If you or someone you know has also been cancelled please let me know if there is a cancel club reunion because I could use some time off my couch.”
Teigen has lost some business deals due to the old comments, as Macy’s dropped her cookware line called Cravings by Chrissy and Bloomingdale’s ended their deal with the Sports Illustrated model.
And it seems like people are not sympathetic toward Teigen.
