Chrissy Teigen is attempting a comeback - and I’m not ok with it

[Anonymous]

This woman should not have any type of publicity ever again. I can’t believe the today show gave her time and space, and encouraged her fifth round of 100-days-of-sobriety. Telling a young woman to kill themselves is not forgivable. I’m not sorry to say this woman should be gone from Hollywood and our screens for good. Please don’t buy her tacky cookbooks and don’t encourage her endeavors.

The one person in Hollywood who should be cancelled - for good

Agreed. She has some psychotic women here who stood up for her and said “Courtney should be canceled too” because…they’re also assholes.

Teigen has ruined her face. Good. It suits her.

You watch too much TV, OP. Turn it off - it's rotting your brain.

I’m a big believer in redemption and encouraging people to become better and do good in the world. Not a fan of cancel culture. Why would anyone change if they’re always held at the level of the worst thing they’ve ever said? If she wants to redeem herself, let her.

Protip: just ignore Chrissy Teigen. It’s very easy and you will never have to think about her again.

Can someone explain to me why she attacked that girl? I don’t follow this stuff.

Yup. I unfollowed her when all this stuff came out and seeing this thread was literally the first time her name has floated through my brain since then. She is inconsequential.

+1. I think it’s also quite possible that her drinking was part of her toxicity and hopefully her speaking out about sobriety will lead to a more productive path for her, helping not harming.

What has happened to her face? Too many fillers??

Anyone?
Was she just randomly going after someone? I don’t get it.

OP you sound like a bully. That’s fine if you’re not ok with her but not everyone cares or agrees

I also believe in redemption, but I also believe that not everybody needs to be a public figure.

The only reason this woman is seeking "redemption" is because she wants to make money writing books and appearing on tv. It's not out of a genuine interest in being a role model or "doing good in the world." Her reappearance after laying low for however long is carefully timed and choreographed by an expensive team of PR people.

Think of it this way: the space this woman takes up in media could be held by someone who, perhaps, is a genuinely nice person who has never told a victim of abuse to kill herself. Wouldn't that be something? If our society could elevate someone who is just nice? Think of it, you could be buying cookbooks from a female Keanu Reeves type of character instead of Chrissy Teigen. I only say Keanu Reeves because he is the only celebrity who popped into my head who appears to be a really genuinely kind and wonderful person.

I believe in redemption but that doesn't mean someone who engaged in really toxic bullying should get a public platform back. There are lots of people in the world who speak out about sobriety who didn't tell children to commit suicide on a public forum. Teigen is more than welcome to engage with the sobriety community, donate money, volunteer, or speak out in more narrow and direct ways to address these issues. She is not "cancelled", you cannot cancel a person, much less someone as privileged as Teigen.

I don't intend to ever follow her on Twitter, read her cookbooks, or otherwise engage with her money-making and more vapid content again. There are lots of other people doing the same stuff and I feel that Teigen has lost that privilege. Redemption is good, but accountability is too. She should be held accountable for what she did, and that's a lot more powerful than giving her yet another public platform to once again talk mostly about herself and her experience.

She is a famous seeker and attention addict. This is not the first time she has attempted a come back after controversy. I don’t believe a word she says but I wish her well and I wish she would stay in the background.
