Chrissy Teigen opened up about being put in the “cancel club” after she was accused of cyberbullying model Courtney Stodden and others online.

“[I] don’t really know what to say here,” Teigen — somewhat ironically — began underneath a first-person view of her jeans-clad legs on her couch, before explaining that it “just feels so weird to pretend nothing happened in this online world.”
“[I] feel like utter s–t in real life,” she continued. “Going outside sucks and doesn’t feel right, being at home alone with my mind makes my depressed head race. But I do know that however I’m handling this now isn’t the right answer. I feel lost and need to find my place again, I need to snap out of this, I desperately wanna communicate with you guys instead of pretending everything is okay.”
Teigen, 35, then segued into a treatise on “cancel club,” which, she explained, “is a fascinating thing” she’s “learned a whollllle lot” from.
“Only a few understand it and it’s impossible to know til you’re in it,” the “Cravings” cookbook author added. “And it’s hard to talk about it in that sense because obviously you sound whiney when you’ve clearly done something wrong. It just sucks. There is no winning. But there never is here anyhow.”
“All I know is I love you guys, I miss you guys, and I just needed an honest moment with you because I’m just … tired of being sick with myself all day,” the statement wound down. “I don’t even know if it’s good to say any of this because it’s gonna get brutally picked apart but I dunno. I can’t do this silent s–t anymore! If you or someone you know has also been cancelled [sic] please let me know if there is a cancel club reunion because I could use some time off my couch!”
Teigen experienced a rapid fall from grace earlier this year when Courtney Stodden surfaced past vicious comments Teigen made about her online. Designer Michael Costello then accused Teigen of similar behavior. Teigen apologized for her past behavior, though both she and her husband John Legend disputed Costello’s claims.
Late in June, Teigen said she was “good” despite the fallout from the brouhaha. She, Legend and their children — daughter Luna, 5, and son Miles, 3 — decamped to Italy for a getaway early in July, which, naturally, she shared photos of on Instagram.
Page Six has reached out to Teigen’s rep for additional comment.
Do y’all feel for Chrissy?
