Or they believe people can change and have no problem with who Chrissy is now. A person in their 20s doesn’t make them the same person in their 30s.

Please. People only say this when it involves someone they like. This attitude doesn't extend to people they don't like, such as Brett Kavanaugh. People like her despite her heinous bullying past and they aren't going to give her up.

This is always true. But it's especially true these days because people will collect these bona fides that make them avatars for a certain kind of fan, and it's really hard for someone to turn on a celebrity they've decided is their second self. The reason I'm confident Teigan will make a comeback is that in the past few years, she has talked a lot about issues like infertility, pregnancy loss, postpartum depression, online bullying (ironically), body image, and other things that young and middle age UMC white women have strong feelings about. Women in this demo like the idea of identifying with Teigan. She's rich and beautiful, so if she has some of your same problems, it makes you feel better about those problems.

Those same women don't identify with Stodden, or Wallis, for instance. They might be sympathetic to those people, but they don't personally identify with them, and also don't really want to. They want to identify with the hot model with the hot husband who lives in the gorgeous house and hangs out with the Obamas! Obviously.

Anyway, this kind of sums it up: https://slate.com/culture/2021/05/chrissy-teigen-courtney-stodden-twitter-apology-explained.html

+1. Yeah I agree with a lot of this.

Can you imagine publicly complaining about being bullied online while knowing that you harassed a child and told her to kill herself? Like, how could you not feel like a self-centered hypocrite?

It’s this all day long - your explanation of it - and it bothers me so much. I personally am not a fandom kind of person at all, and never have been. I don’t understand and find pathetic adult women who are true fans, go to the book signings, of a Chrissy Teagan. It’s just lame. But those are the women who are the fans, and companies presume their economic power is enormous, so her deals will quietly come back if she can STFU for another season or so.

Who has a history of digging themselves into a deep hole like this and then bouncing back? I can think of maybe a few men but not many women who have rebounded. And the men have histories of substance abuse, not online bullying.

Who is her fan base?

Middle aged women, mostly white, mostly moms. 30ish and up. Shoppers, gossip lovers, and online obsessively. That’s not a cool, young, POC or male crowd, gimme an effing break.

Presumably that describes a lot of the DCUM crowd, but curiously there's a lot more hate than love for Chrissy in this thread. So maybe that doesn't quite describe her fan base and something is missing.

They’re here and have attempted defenses but a couple have posted crazy shit in their support of someone who urged a teen to commit suicide, so some of their garbage was scrubbed off. I know CT fans. They hate Stodden and it’s all because she’s an odd super sexed-up blonde.

But still on balance, not a lot of support here. I would guess being morally bankrupt and under educated might have something to do with the celeb worship of these social media stars famous for basically nothing.

Yup, guilty as charged. Liked Chrissy but disgusted by the revelations about her bullying Stodden. Not following her. Not buying her stuff. Done. Yuck.

Her fan base is made up of people who like her husband and 20 year olds who think the posed pictures she posted are real life. Not exactly deep thinkers which is why they are defending her.

Weren't these bullying tweets of Stodden really well known for a while now? Why the sudden interest/outrage?

Because Chrissy recently painted herself a victim to cyber bullying. Stones glass houses and all that.

I didn't know about them until Stodden's interview. I knew Teigan could be snarky and mean, but did not know she had directly bullied kids. I wouldn't say I was a big Chrissy Teigan fan before, but I followed her on Twitter and sometimes found her tweets funny. I made one of her recipes on the advice of a friend once (it was meh). I had picked up but not purchased some of her cookware at Target. I felt really terrible for her when she had her still birth and I thought (and still think) people could be really unkind to her about her body after having kids.

But if I'd known this, I probably would have muted her and ignored a long time ago.
