[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]
+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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]
