What did Chrissy Teigen say in her Medium apology?
CHRISSY Teigen came under fire in recent weeks after several of her past controversial tweets resurfaced online. In a recently published Medium post, Teigen admitted she was a "troll" and an "a**hole" and apologized for her past bullying tweets. In the self-published blog post, Teigen wrote, "Ive apologized publicly to one person, but there are others  and more than just a few  who I need to say Im sorry to. Im in the process of privately reaching out to the people I insulted. I understand that they may not want to speak to me. I dont think Id like to speak to me. (The real truth in all of this is how much I actually cannot take confrontation.) But if they do, I am here and I will listen to what they have to say, while apologizing through sobs.  5 Chrissy Teigen said she was 'a troll, full stop' Credit: AP  The mother-of-two continued: "There is simply no excuse for my past horrible tweets. My targets didnt deserve them. No one does. "Many of them needed empathy, kindness, understanding and support, not my meanness masquerading as a kind of casual, edgy humor." Teigen said she was "a troll, full stop". "The truth is, Im no longer the person who wrote those horrible things. I grew up, got therapy, got married, had kids, got more therapy, experienced loss and pain, got more therapy and experienced more life. AND GOT MORE THERAPY," she added. Although Teigen did not name-drop anyone in her post - she asked them for their "patience and tolerance." "I wont ask for your forgiveness, only your patience and tolerance. I ask that you allow me, as I promise to allow you, to own past mistakes and be given the opportunity to seek self improvement and change." Teigen's tweets about Lindsay Lohan from 2011 resurfaced online as the model was slammed online for bullying the former Disney actress. An unearthed tweet from Teigen's account resurfaced poking fun at Lohan's previous self-harm struggle, which read: Lindsay adds a few more slits to her wrists when she sees Emma Stone." Lohan has yet to address the since-deleted tweet, however, her mother Dina opened up to Page Six about it, saying: When someone says hurtful words theyre not just hurting that person, theyre hurting their siblings, their mother, their grandma. "Theyre inflicting so much pain." 5 In a resurfaced 2011 tweet, Teigen poking fun at Lindsay Lohan's previous self-harm struggles Credit: Reuters  Teigen was also facing backlash for cyberbullying model Courtney Stodden telling them to "go to sleep forever" when they were just 16. Stodden - who uses the pronoun they - spoke out against the model in an interview with The Daily Beast. They said: "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."' Teigen apologized on Twitter - despite still having Stodden blocked on social media. However, Stodden slammed Teigen's public apology and claimed she never did so "privately" and only did it to "save face." Teigen also faced backlash for calling Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham a "w***e" and claiming "everyone hates you." 5 Teigen also faced backlash for calling Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham a 'w***e' and for cyberbullying model Courtney Stodden Credit: PA  Her tweet read: "Farrah Abraham now thinks she's pregnant from her sex tape. "In other news, you're a wh**e" and everyone hates you, whoops not other news, sorry." Teigen has not posted anything online since the wake of the scandal. Teigen deactivated her Twitter due to the negativity she was receiving on social media greatly affecting her. In May, The Sun exclusively revealed that Teigen's kitchen items were removed from Target's website as well as Macys and Bloomingdales. Additionally, it was revealed she was "replaced on a Netflix show" Never Have I Ever, which she was due to appear on.
