Courtney Stodden claims Chrissy Teigen NEVER reached out privately to say sorry for comments

Courtney Stodden claims that Chrissy Teigen ‘never’ reached out to them privately to apologize for the abusive tweets and direct messages that she sent in 2011.

‘I accept her apology and forgive her. But the truth remains the same, I have never heard from her or her camp in private,’ wrote Stodden via Instagram on Wednesday.

Stodden, who recently came out as non-binary sharing new pronouns, they/them/their, recently revealed that Teigen had sent an abusive direct message where she told the former teen bride to commit suicide.

The 26-year-old also said they had been ‘blocked’ by Teigen on Twitter, which is where the 35-year-old model had chosen to issue her apology to Stodden earlier that day.

‘In fact, she blocked me on Twitter,’ Stodden wrote, followed by a screengrab showing that they were unable to view Chrissy’s account due to being allegedly blocked.

‘All of me wants to believe this is a sincere apology, but it feels like a public attempt to save her partnerships with Target and other brands who are realizing her “wokeness” is a broken record,’ Courtney concluded.

Stodden was referencing to Teigen’s highly successful Cravings empire, which has produced various kitchenware and cookware lines, two popular cookbooks, and a full fledged lifestyle website.

Cravings, which launched in 2016 with a single cookbook, is available in Target and Macy’s stores and on their respective websites, with the cookbooks being made available to order on e-commerce sites like Amazon.

Back in September of 2018, Teigen and her brand launched the Cravings by Chrissy Teigen collection, which was made ‘available exclusively at Target.’

The range, according to an official press release published by Target at the time, consisted of 40 different kitchenware items ‘ranging in price from $4 for drinkware to $140 for a 12-piece cookware set.’

Mark Tritton, who is now the former executive vice president and chief merchandising officer for Target, praised the collaboration in the 2018 press release, stressing that Target ‘[has] a great relationship with Chrissy and have worked with her in a number of ways over the years.’

Since the collection’s initial launch, Cravings by Chrissy Teigen has continued to launch products through Target, with one of the more recent drops occurring in December 2020.

DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Target for comment, but have yet to hear back. 

Courtney’s response to Chrissy’s apology comes just hours after the wife of John Legend used Twitter to admonish her 2011 tweets towards the teen bride, whom she encouraged to commit suicide.

‘I’m mortified and sad at who I used to be,’ Teigen began in her tweet. ‘I was an insecure, attention seeking troll. I am ashamed and completely embarrassed at my behavior.’

The Twitter apology came just days after Stodden, who recently came out as non-binary, revealed that Teigen ‘would privately DM me and tell me to kill myself’ on Twitter, after Teigen had publicly insulted the model on the social media platform telling them to ‘go to sleep forever.’ 

Stodden – who has shared their new pronouns, they/them/their – first addressed the abusive tweets in an Instagram post last year, and said they had not received an apology from Teigen. 

However, the wife of John Legend has now fully admitted her wrongdoing, as she tweeted: ‘I have tried to connect with Courtney privately but since I publicly fueled all this, I want to also publicly apologize. I’m so sorry, Courtney. I hope you can heal now knowing how deeply sorry I am.’

Teigen added: ‘And I am so sorry I let you guys down. I will forever work on being better than I was 10 years ago, 1 year ago, 6 months ago.’ 

Stodden – who was just 16 years old at the time – revealed this week: ‘[Chrissy] wouldn’t just publicly tweet about wanting me to take “a dirt nap” but would privately DM me and tell me to kill myself. Things like, “I can’t wait for you to die.”‘ 

A ‘dirt nap’ alludes to a dead person’s burial, and Teigen’s 2011 tweet to Stodden reads: ‘My friday fantasy: you. dirt nap. mmmmmm baby.’ Another tweet from Teigen to Stodden stated: ‘go. to sleep. forever.’

It is not clear what triggered Teigen to compose the public attacks on Stodden, other than at the time they were just 16-years-old and had gained notoriety for marrying Doug Hutchinson, who was 51.  

In March this year, Stodden criticized Teigen and called her out for being a hypocrite for temporarily leaving Twitter over negative comments, when she herself had made such disparaging remarks towards Stodden. 

Teigen revealed she was quitting Twitter (though would later rejoin) amid a string of negative comments from trolls, which the model said had left her feeling ‘deeply bruised.’ 

At the time of Teigen’s brief departure from Twitter, Stodden brought up a 2011 tweet from the model which read: ‘Saying Courtney Stodden’s FB age got shut down for being too sexy is like saying the Nazi’s were just meanies. As in, not quite.’ 

Stodden first accused Teigen of bullying her in an Instagram video last April, they appeared to suggest the negative comments had all started after their controversial marriage to Hutchinson was first made public.

‘I’m going through a lot right now behind closed doors and I’m coming to a lot of, kind of like, revelations I guess about the choices that I made but also that the adults made around me when I was a minor and got married,’ Stodden said. 

‘This video is definitely calling out Chrissy Teigen. She stalked me. She harassed me. She bullied me, and keep in mind, I was a minor.’

‘She would call me a whore, a slut, she would tell me she hated me. Every name in the book she called me,’ Stodden went on to claim.

Meanwhile, in a wide-ranging interview with The Daily Beast on Monday, Stodden also talked about how they have faced insults from The View’s Joy Behar and Courtney Love, saying: ‘There were a lot of celebrities acting like playground bullies. Some of the worst treatment I got was from women.’ 

‘Joy Behar had a field day with calling me a “slut.” Courtney Love told me I was a “whore.” People came out of the woodwork to beat up on a kid because she was in a situation that she shouldn’t have been in,’ Stodden claimed. 

Stodden went on to say that they were left feeling suicidal during dark moments in their life, explaining: ‘There have probably been five times that I’ve felt like I wanted to kill myself—and made the actions to go ahead and do it. So, there’s been a lot of dark moments in my life.’

Last month, the media personality and model revealed they ‘don’t identify as she or her,’ saying their ‘spirit is fluid’ in an Instagram post, coming out as non-binary. 

‘They/them/theirs. I don’t Identify as she or her,’ Stodden wrote, explaining: ‘I’ve never felt like I ever fit in anywhere.’

While Teigen had remained silent on the claims from Stodden until now, she did address her own negative experiences on Twitter in March. 

‘Hey. For over 10 years, you guys have been my world. I honestly owe so much to this world we have created here. I truly consider so many of you my actual friends,’ she began. 

‘But it’s time for me to say goodbye. This no longer serves me as positively as it serves me negatively, and I think that’s the right time to call something,’ she admitted. 

‘My life goal is to make people happy. The pain I feel when I don’t is too much for me. I’ve always been portrayed as the strong clap back girl but I’m just not,’ wrote the star, referring to her frequent fiery Twitter exchanges.

‘My desire to be liked and fear of pissing people off has made me somebody you didn’t sign up for, and a different human than I started out here as! Live well, tweeters. Please know all I ever cared about was you!!!’

Teigen noted that, over the span of her nearly 11 years of Twitter, she has ‘said f**ked up s**t and killed myself over it as much as you killed me. But one thing I haven’t learned is how to block out the negativity.

‘I’m just a sensitive s**t, okay!? I don’t wanna be this way! I just am! But I love you guys and I cherish our time together, I truly do. I also hate you,’ concluded the star, with a heart.
