Courtney Stodden, 25, slams Chrissy Teigen for 'harassing' and 'slut-shaming' her when she was a minor
Model and singer Courtney Stodden, who is working on her first memoir, on Tuesday, April 28, accused Chrissy Teigen of "stalking" and "harassing" her as she revisited her past traumas for her book.
Stodden took to Instagram on Tuesday to post a five-minute video, slamming Teigen for "celebrity bullying" through the tweets the 25-year-old received from the famous television personality in 2011 and 2011, when Stodden was just 16 and 17 years old.
The model claimed that Teigen's mean-spirited tweets began in the year 2011, when Stodden was just 16 and married to 50-year-old Doug Hutchinson at the time.
"I'm going through a lot right now behind closed doors and I'm coming to a lot of, kind of like, revelations I guess about the choices that I made but also that the adults made around me when I was a minor and got married," Stodden says in the Instagram video. She added that reflecting on her past traumas made her realize how she was targeted by celebrities like Teigen, who mocked her publicly.
"This video is definitely calling out Chrissy Teigen. She stalked me. She harassed me. She bullied me, and keep in mind, I was a minor," Stodden continued. She accused the 34-year-old model of tweeting her "almost every single day" and also provided screenshots of the alleged mean tweets as proof.
"She would call me a whore, a slut, she would tell me she hated me. Every name in the book she called me," the former reality star claimed. Stodden said that Teigen's hurtful tweets came at a fragile time in her life, when she was married to Hutchinson, who she claims was an alcoholic who repeatedly abused her.
The 25-year-old also denounced Teigen for recently firing back at online trolls who mocked her "square body" and called her a hypocrite. Stodden said: "I saw her in the news the other day and it was something about how she's saying people are shaming her. Girl, you are a hypocrite... I still see her bullying once in a while but when she comes out saying that she's stronger than people shaming her -- well, you shamed a minor."
Stodden, in her video, also called out CNN journalist Anderson Cooper for making fun of her "every single night" on 'The Ridiculist.' The model, however, stressed that it was Teigen's comments which "hurt" the most. She also shared tweets on her Instagram page where Teigen allegedly told Stoddon to "go.to sleep.forever," and that she has "rabies" and is a "bad madlib."
In a tweet dated January 2012, Teigen allegedly wrote to Stodden, saying: "I hate you." In another, the celebrity allegedly questioned: "Why do you speak like a Fabio book?"
Teigen, in another tweet, allegedly tells Stodden: "What drug makes you do that with your mouth? Asking for a friend who really wants to know how to look like an idiot. thanks."
Stodden, in the clip, said that she was still "processing" the trauma she endured as a teenager while married to Hutchinson and having an absent father.
The pair's divorce was finalized in January 2020. The former reality star said that now she is working to rebuild her relationship with her mother, and hopes that Teigen will show her daughter more respect than she showed Stodden.
