Chrissy Teigen publicly apologized to Courtney Stodden after Stodden described online harassment they had experienced as a teenager. Teigen addressed the matter in a series of Twitter posts on Wednesday, May 12.
The apology followed Stodden’s account to The Daily Beast of hostile public messages and private communication from Teigen years earlier. The Associated Press reported that Teigen acknowledged her conduct and expressed regret.
Stodden accepted the public apology with reservations in an Instagram response. They questioned its sincerity and whether pressure surrounding Teigen’s business relationships had influenced it.
