After years of managing to duck her controversies with frequent apologies, the Chrissy Teigen reckoning came in 2021 when the model announced she was leaving Twitter due to "negativity." She wrote and deleted (via Sky News), "For years I have taken so many small, 2-follower count punches that at this point, I am honestly deeply bruised."

Actor and socialite Courtney Stodden called Teigen out as a hypocrite after her announcement. Stodden pointed out that Teigen had been viciously mean to them in the past, telling them to kill themself when they were just a minor. A TMZ roundup of tweets included Teigen writing things to the youngster like, "my Friday fantasy: you. dirt nap. mmmmmm baby."

When social media went nuclear over Stodden's receipts proving Teigen's abysmal behavior, Teigen returned to apologize for her actions. "I'm mortified and sad at who I used to be. I was an insecure, attention seeking troll," she wrote, concluding, "I have tried to connect with Courtney privately but since I publicly fueled all this, I want to also publicly apologize. I'm so sorry, Courtney."

She popped back in a few months later to elaborate on her remorse, detailing the work she was doing to learn and grow. "There is simply no excuse for my past horrible tweets. My targets didn't deserve them. No one does," she wrote in a long Medium post.
