Chrissy Teigen was all smiles while out with her husband, John Legend, and their children, Luna and Miles, last week, just days after issuing a public apology for the cyberbullying scandal. Ten years earlier, she reportedly sent direct messages to teenaged Courtney Stodden asking her to commit suicide.

Looking fresh and summery in matching floral ensembles, the cookware entrepreneur and her husband took their kids out for lunch at Soho House in West Hollywood.

John Legend’s Casual Chic Summer Look

The 42-year-old EGOT winner opted for a green Hawaiian shirt with pink flowers paired with white pants and sneakers. He carried their five-year-old daughter, who looked pretty in her whimsical peach floral dress, matching headband, and flat sandals.

On the other hand, their three-year-old son couldn’t let go of his mom’s arm while dressed in a yellow shirt, blue jeans, and yellow hi-top sneakers.

Chrissy Teigen’s Cyber-Bullying Scandal

Known for being an open book to her millions of followers on social media, the “Queen of Twitter” faced backlash after past bullying-related tweets aimed at multiple stars resurfaced online.

One of these stars was Courtney Stodden, who was only a teenager when Chrissy bullied her in 2011.

Around that time, Courtney received criticism for marrying actor Doug Hutchison, who was 34 years her senior. She was only 16, and Doug was 50 when they married.

Courtney Stodden’s Revelations and Teigen’s Apology

Courtney opened up about how Chrissy bullied her in an interview with Daily Beast. Born on August 29, 1994, in Tacoma, Washington, Courtney Alexis Stodden celebrated her 17th birthday on August 29, 2011.

“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.’”

“And not only her, but Joy Behar had a field day with calling me a “slut.” Courtney Love told me I was a “whore.” People came out of the woodwork to beat up on a kid because she was in a situation that she shouldn’t have been in. There were a lot of celebrities acting like playground bullies. 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 apologized to Courtney in May and mentioned she tried to connect with her. Courtney later said she accepted her apology but denied that Chrissy reached out. TMZ has published some of Teigen’s public tweets that confirm Stodden’s accusations.

A month later, Chrissy posted a lengthy apology letter to the people she hurt in the past. Describing herself as a troll, the model said she regretted the “awful tweets” she said and added that she’s “no longer the person who wrote those horrible things.”
