“I Was a Troll… And I am So Sorry” — Chrissy Teigen’s Response to Bullying Allegations

“I Was a Troll… And I am So Sorry” — Chrissy Teigen’s Response to Bullying Allegations

After her monthlong silence on allegations of bullying levied by her former reality star Courtney Stodden, Chrissy Teigen finally responds.

Chrissy shared a post on her Instagram page addressing the issue in full. “It has been a VERY humbling few weeks,” she wrote. “I know I’ve been quiet, and lord knows you don’t want to hear about me, but I want you to know I’ve been sitting in a hole of deserved global punishment, the ultimate “sit here and think about what you’ve done.”
