Chrissy Teigen and Courtney Stodden's Feud Went Viral in 2011
Chrissy Teigen and Courtney Stodden's feud hit headlines in 2011.
Stodden and Teigen’s feud made headlines in 2011. At the time, Stodden was 16 years old and married to 51-year-old actor Doug Hutchinson. Stodden claimed that Teigen sent horrible messages to her, and her mental health suffered as a result.
“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,’” Stodden, now 30, told The Daily Beast in May 2021. “Some of the worst treatment I got was from women, and we’re not going to get anywhere if we keep holding each other back.”
Chrissy Teigen Issued a Public Apology
Chrissy Teigen later addressed a public apology to Courtney Stodden.
After the DMs were leaked, Teigen issued a public apology to Stodden.
“Not a lot of people who are lucky enough to be held accountable for all their past bulls--- in front of the entire world,” Teigen wrote via X in May 2021. “I’m mortified and sad at who I used to be. I was an insecure, attention-seeking troll.”
The Cravings author said she was “ashamed and completely embarrassed” about her past messages.
“I’m so sorry, Courtney,” she said. “I hope you can heal now, knowing how deeply sorry I am.”
