| Why are you so obsessed with her? Seriously. I can’t stand the Kardashians but I don’t spend my time starting threads about how they should act. |
She is married to a dainty washed up singer. |
I had to Google Courtney Stodden. No clue who she was. Then I remembered she married a 51 year old man when she was 16. Eeek! That was her claim to fame. Train wreck. Chrissy was wrong to acknowledge her at all in any tweet. It just encourages Stodden’s attention seeking at any cost behavior. Also Hollywood is very messed up. |
Not at all defending what he did, but at least Louis C.K. is talented. I never understood Chrissy Teigen's appeal. And I agree-no one is owed celebrity or wealth. Actions have consequences. I hope she's able to get the help she needs. |
Seriously, I can’t stand the lying and the rationalizing that practically everyone did what she did. That’s total bullshit. That’s the origin of the back and forth about her here. She wasn’t given a scarlet letter, what a crock. Her behavior came to light, and she, as grown as she was and is, did not actually apologize. She is totally disgusting, and I’m not aware of other famous people who have behaved in this specific manner getting away with it because she also suffered a miscarriage. Come on. She isn’t owed fame. If she chooses to chase it like a dog in pursuit of a car bumper after behaving atrociously and without actually trying to make amends with the people she freaking harassed, she gets what she gets. But someone like her never changes. See you in a year, where she tries again to get into good graces. |

You're upset about what Tiegen said but this is how you talk about other people? Pot. Kettle. |
OMG yes. "Everybody was doing it" is not a defense of anything. Should everybody who said cruel things about Courtney Stodden get a book deal and spot on the Today show and a million Twitter followers, too, then? We're not talking about everybody, Karen. We're talking about one specific person who did crappy things, didn't apologize, and now expects people to just pretend it didn't happen. That's gross. I don't really care if other people buy her crap and follow her, but I definitely won't and I'm not going to laud her for "speaking out about sobriety." I have sober people in my life. Some are great, some are trash. Recognizing you have a drinking problem and trying to do something about it is laudable but it doesn't make you some kind of savior. |
NP, but they aren't usually accessible seeming, popular influencers and celebrities. Teigen is good at talking about hard things in a relatable way that doesn't feel preachy. I'm another mom who avoids wine culture and alcohol and I think Teigan talking about this on a mainstream program is a good way to being it into conversation. Podcasts and books on the topic require people to seek it out. GMA and the followup news articles can reach millions more people. |

Because Chrissy is an embarrassing bully, she should speak on what other people drink, and start some sob tour on the dangers of drinking? She is throwing out excuse after excuse for her untoward behavior, when she should be hiding in embarrassment. No shame whatsoever. Chrissy is so incredibly dumb and moronic that she didn’t even have the sense to bully people from an anonymous account. Off to drink my daily singular glass of wine. |
Are you the one who used a racial slur against her in this thread earlier? Because I reported at least one instance of that. Rich coming from people kvetching about online bullying. I think it’s fine to believe Teigan should be kicked out of the celebrity pool because of her past actions. I don’t agree (because I believe in redemption not because I believe she did nothing wrong) but I can still see that as a perfectly reasonable position to have. But the language used by many many posters here is as reprehensible as anything she ever said and did. And despite what multiple posters have claimed here, she did apologize. It might not be enough for you, which is fine, but she did do it. |
| I always think it’s weird how intense some people get on these topics. And I don’t think anyone’s defending Chrissy Teigen, they are simply not rabidly denouncing her. |
A number of posters have said they don't think what she did as a big deal and that they don't think Teigen should be held responsible for it. I agree getting too worked up over a celebrity is just bad for your mental well being, but I also understand that feeling of "really? we're just going to let this person off the hook because they waited a few months to start tweeting again?" I would be fine never hearing about or seeing Teigen again -- I don't think she brings much to the table (she's mildly funny but not original and her recipes are actively pretty bad) and when I found out she's someone who likes to punch down to this degree, I was over it. |
Almost everyone said that someone who apologizes and reforms deserves a second chance. A few people rejected comparisons of her to nazis and people who sexually abused women. None of that is not saying it’sa big deal. Maybe a couple people really downplayed it but they were the exception |
