Stodden, 26, who last month came out as non-binary and shared their new pronouns, they/them/their – recalled the time Chrissy Teigen “would privately DM me and tell me to kill myself” on Twitter, after Teigen had publicly insulted the model on the social media platform back in 2011. Stodden, who was just 16 years old at the time claims: “She wouldn’t just publicly tweet about wanting me to take “a dirt nap” but would privately DM me and tell me to kill myself. Things like, “I can’t wait for you to die.”‘
Courtney revealed that the bullying from Chrissy and others got so bad, “there have probably been five times that I’ve felt like I wanted to kill myself — and made the actions to go ahead and do it.” Courtney was widely criticized over their marriage at 16 to then-50-year-old actor Doug Hutchison, prompting mockery and ridicule. Courtney’s mom signed off on the marriage, TMZ notes.
Not too long ago, March this year, to be exact, Stodden slammed Teigen for being a “hypocrite” for temporarily leaving Twitter due to negative comments, when she herself had made such disparaging remarks towards Stodden.
Stodden noted that Teigen has never apologized for her actions and it’s unclear if she will. Socialites, what are your thoughts on this? Sound off in the comment box below!
