Courtney Stodden takes new swipe at Chrissy Teigen four years after cyberbullying scandal

Courtney Stodden claims she sent a friendly message to Chrissy Teigen, but she’s being “completely ignored” four years after their cyberbullying scandal.

In an Instagram post shared Friday, Stodden said people were asking her how she felt about Meghan Markle having Teigen on her cooking show “Love, Meghan,” and the online outrage over it.

“And my response to it is that I do not believe people should be bullying Chrissy,” the “Celebrity Big Brother U.K.” alum said, per the Daily Mail. “Have we learned anything? Two wrongs do not make a right.”

“I posted about this, and I saw Chrissy Teigen was on my Instagram watching my Story, so I decided to reach out to Chrissy on DM and tell her that I’m here if she needs to talk and I do not believe people should be bullying her and she shouldn’t be listening to anyone who’s bullying her,” Stodden explained before adding that Teigen “has completely ignored me.”

Then, she smiled at the camera and said, “yeah.”

Stodden’s fans were unimpressed and took to the comments thread to chastise Teigen for her failure to respond to the olive branch.

“That’s Chrissy for ya! Don’t bother. She’s one of them,” wrote one follower, while another remarked, “her loss.”

A third offered friendly advice. “Little Miss Chrissy is not nor has ever been a nice person .. you’ve been the bigger person .. so maybe just forgive and then forget.” And another confessed, “I wouldn’t even give her the time of day.”

A rep for Teigen did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment regarding the alleged snub.

The former pageant contestant alleged in 2021 that following her polarizing marriage to 51-year-old Doug Hutchinson at age 16, Teigen took to Twitter in 2011 and 2012 to tell Stodden to take a “dirt nap,” among other brutal insults.

Other cruel comments followed, for which the cookbook author has since apologized, writing in a lengthy 2021 statement, “I hope you can heal now knowing how deeply sorry I am.”

But in a March interview, Stodden confessed that the hateful comments had been more than she could bear.

“I know she’s saying it was from alcohol or whatever she wanted to say it was from,” Stodden said during an emotional appearance on “Impact x Nightline: Confessions of a Child Bride.” 

She added that fielding jabs from the so-called “queen of Twitter” was “so much” to deal with as a teenager.

“I did actually almost succeed at committing suicide because of — this was a huge part of it,” they reflected. “I had a suicide letter written.”

She added, “I remember my last thought was, you know, ‘Maybe I don’t deserve to be here when people that high up are telling me I don’t deserve to be here.’”

Teigen, for her part, said in a 2021 interview on the “Today” show that the scandal had transformed her into a “better person.”

“There’s that old cliché, like, I’m glad it happened, but truly, it made me a stronger person,” Teigen divulged.
