Hi Chrissy. How many times have you posted in this thread?

I'm not Chrissy. I'm just being realistic with you. She is far-- very far-- from canceled. And I never really liked her old persona, but her new "sober influencer" shtick is charming and I'm here for it. She has a lot of influence on moms and its a good counterbalance to mommy wine culture. 🍷

Make it more obvious you’re Chrissy or some crisis pr intern she’s blowing her husband’s money on.

You are delusional if you think these people care about what you post on DCUM.

I don't care about her either way, but anyone who is anti mom-drinking has a plus in my book. I am VERY sick of this whole "I am mom, must drink wine" thing.

Yeah, I'm definitely not Chrissy. I'm from Gaithersburg and also over the mom wine culture thing because I think it is clever marketing but tangibly hurting women's lives and health. I've decided I'm over alcohol-- I'm not drinking at dinners out with the girls or at parties or even when we meet for drinks-- because I think it's harmful. I never liked Chrissy before, but I think what she's doing is a good thing and can help other women question why drinking wine has become so closely linked with being a woman. Yes, what she said to Courtney was absolutely awful. Terrible. But she is trying to improve and said she's genuinely sorry. Look, one of the most senior executives at Nike actually shot and killed a young man, who he admits was innocent and that the killing was senseless. And I'm glad he went on to make a life for himself! Chrissy is allowed to do the same thing, and she is allowed to live big, not in the shadows like a modern day Hester Prynne.

Hm. Hester actually didn’t do anything wrong, and she wasn’t a dick.

We can debate the merits of monogamy, but Hester was married and committed adultery. That is objectively wrong. She also trolled the entire town by embroidering a beautiful A and holding her head high even though the A was supposed to be a punishment.

If you’re going to reference literature, make sure you read the book first.

NP. The point of the book is to point out that no one is perfect, and that the one who is publicly shamed isn't necessarily the most to blame. If you're going to correct other people's interpretation of literature, make sure you get it right!

DP, chiming into this wonderful lit discussion. Yes pp get that hence her original reference to Hester Prynne. Here Chrissy has played both the parts of Hester and the townspeople at different places in her journey. It doesn’t change the fact that now, posters like the ones here in this thread being cruel and throwing out racial slurs have facilitated her transition from townsperson to nPrynne.

I didn’t say I was. You bothered? Go take a dirt nap. Is that mean? Hm, was it ok for a rich itch to DM that to a kid?

I’m going to ask Jeff to lock this thread. This incessant pp is clearly triggered. This thread is bringing out the worst of the worst. And best be locked, preferably deleted, so it doesn’t cause more harm to this pp.

I sort of love their latest Halloween post though. It’s super cute. Addams Family family costume.

I've never been a big fan of Chrissy's. I always found her sort of overexposed and attention-seeking. But very pretty! But kind of annoying. I read an interview with her once and I thought she seemed kind and funny, but her constant tweeting everything was weird.

I will say this new right-wing fascination with canceling her because she was mean to Courtney Stodden is just MAGAs pissed off that Chrissy didn't kowtow to Trump. Everyone made fun of Courtney Stodden ten years ago. I was in college at the time and she was a running gag for Halloween party costumes and "inside jokes." Also even Anderson Cooper made fun of her on his show!

Yes…everybody made fun of that girl. She was everybody’s punching bag. Some these people who are so outraged by what Chrissy did probably shared some those jokes.

I don’t care with Chrissy makes a comeback or not, i have no idea what that even means; but generally speaking in there anyone who is worthy of redemption?

I find her annoying but I think she deserves to move on and everyone else should let her be. There are honestly worse people to worry about.
What's up with the botox and her lips though? She was much prettier before! She had one of those faces that I could see aging well and now she looks awkward.

I believe in redemption and what takes place on social media is not the full story. I don't begrudge her any comeback after the year she has had - I would never wish the tragic pregnancy her family experienced on anyone.

This. And I know people will swear it’s not true but it was also popular for edgelords on the internet to tweet or meme “kill yourself” I was relatively young and online during this period. The reason these tweets made no splash at the time is that they weren’t out of the norm. It’s bad by today’s standards but sometimes people forget how quickly internet culture changes.

I don’t care either way about Teigen but I was very online during that era and managed to never make fun of Courtney Stodden (or Britney or any of the young women who got treated this way) nor did I ever tell anyone to kill themselves.

I get people make mistakes and should have a chance to correct them, but I think you should start by recognizing that “internet edge lords were doing it” isn’t really the convincing argument you think. Anyone who can get swept up in that kind of behavior could do it again. Sure, right now the online ethos is kinder and more self-aware. But what if it turns nasty again.

You have to demonstrate actual judgment.

I'm the Gaithersburg mom who likened Chrissy to Hester Prynne. I'm conservative. I think most conservatives have forgotten they are supposed to hate Chrissy; we'd run out of celebrities to follow very quickly if "hates Trump" were disqualifying.

Do you think context is useful when evaluating people’s actions? I do.

Sure, but context is “I was in a bad place in my life and I worked through my insecurity by making fun of strangers online.” That’s context to explain why this person did this specific thing. But “well lots of people were doing it” isn’t really context. Lots of people are always doing terrible things. It doesn’t explain anything. And it’s a form of deflection. If someone wants forgiveness or to turn the page, you need to dig a little deeper than that IME.

I remember the Britney, Courtney etc. era and how much they were tormented. Look, friends used to tell each other “kill yourself”, I didn’t like it but I also never took it literally. I also didn’t like girls using “hoe” as a term of endearment. Chrissy’s behavior was reprehensible but it has to be taken in the context of the era. I don’t follow her on social media and I’ve never bought anything she is selling so I neither supported her nor cancelled her. Nothing she does influence me in any way so her being an influencer means nothing to me. I am not going to sit and decide whether she deserves to have a comeback.
