I don't "hate" Chrissy Teigen, because I don't have enough investment in people I don't know. However, I do believe it is extremely problematic to put people on pedestals who have caused grave harm to other people with zero consequences. Teigen has showed she is ugly on the outside, and as a mother who is strongly against bullying of any kind, I can't imagine aligning with this woman, or lionizing her when there are clearly many other women in the world who have done a lot of good - I don't understand the focus on someone who has negative value and has done nothing for society, in fact the opposite- she willingly and knowingly relentlessly harassed teenagers.


Pulling this out because it's a good point. I'm probably less invested in Teigen's bullying past, BUT I do think that often valid criticism of celebrities, including Teigen, is written off as "haters gonna hate" or people being jealous. A lot of people develop parasocial obsessions with celebrities, or over-identify with celebrities because of the perceived (and false) closeness of social media and other forms of interaction, and will defend literally anything they do. I've seen it with lots of different celebs.

Sometimes people are making valid criticisms, or at least opinions grounded in unbiased assessments, and it gets dismissed as just people hating on a famous woman. Well guess what, sometimes famous women do things worth criticizing. It's not anti-feminist to do so.


Thank you. I also want to add, what Teigen did to Courtney and her other targets was the epitome of anti feminism. Why do we give her a pass? Because she’s wealthy? Because she’s famous? Imagine if your daughter was Courtney, would you be excusing her bad behavior then? The behavior was so lacking in empathy it astounded me. I think we need to hold people to the same standards we would if they hurt a loved one of ours. It didn’t happen to me or wasn’t targeted at me isn’t a reason to look the other way.

Also, not sure why anyone is surprised when they start a thread on Chrissy and it’s controversial.. like if you don’t understand the controversy, I don’t know what to tell you.

Personally, I could care less about her surrogacy or her personal life but I do care about her actions that harm others.


Regarding Teigen and the teen she bullied: because the teen was an exploited, effector trafficked by her parents white blonde with no power, and some women would kill for Teigen’s lifestyle and identify with her as a “brave” POC who “took on Trump.” I am progressive AF and am always a little amused at people who find hating the worst President ever to be an unusual personality trait. I would think that’s less special and more just, being sentient. But that’s why, and everyone honest knows it.

1. identify someone calling her "brave" for calling out t
2. identify someone else at the time who publicly called out his total bs
3. it doesn't give you automatic credibility when you claim you're progressive af
4. "and everyone knows it" is 'fux not news' trope

Not the PP you are addressing but I agree with them.

Teigen isn't talented and doesn't really have much to offer in terms of the entertainment industry she desperately wants to be a part of. So she's always throwing stuff out there to see if it will garner her attention, followers, and $$. The people Teigen wants to like her hate Trump, so she'll "call him out" on Twitter for likes, sure. People like food, so she'll start a recipe website and publish cookbooks (even though she's a mediocre cook at best and most of her recipes are not very good). People like kids so she has a bunch of kids and throws them all over her social media and uses them to promote books and other things.

Well her bullying was the same. It's the same instinct that leads to bullying in teenage girls -- maybe if I make fun of this girl with super low status, it will make me look cooler and better by comparison. This is why mean girls exist.

Chrissy Teigen is just a wannabe. She's the girl with hot, popular boyfriend who leverages that into a lot of popularity even though she's a mediocre student who has no athletic or artistic talent and has a subpar personality, using mean girl tactics.

No thank you.

Completely agree. But the basic mean girls who live for this site are very much like her and take any critique as a personal slam. They also lack character and a full set of working brain cells, so it’s no surprise.

It is funny how often posters on this site can't even recognize basic mean girl behavior because to them it's so normalized. They like Teigen because she's good at the game they love to play. She mean girled her way into fame and fortune. That's the dream!

I also agree with this. Only in opposite land is Teigen a kind shero of the resistance and not someone who actually IS like Sherrilynn Ifill. Or as if she’s the most extraordinary spouse of a more famous person instead of a Tracy Pollan. Teigen shat on minors (hello Quevanzhane at the Oscars) for years, was abusive AF, blamed it on alcohol, and she’s a saint because…she’s a mother? Hell, so is Lauren The Moron Boebert, should the world at large ignore her vileness, too? It makes NO SENSE.
