Chrissy Teigen 'should've been canceled long ago' after 'urging Courtney Stodden, 16, to kill self', Candace Owens says
CANDACE Owens blasted Chrissy Teigen after she was accused of potentially bullying then-teenager Courtney Stodden and telling her to kill herself.
"Chrissy Teigen publicly defend Meghan Markle and said she believed that Meghan had suicidal thoughts," Owens said on Tuesday.
"She just forgot to mention that she uses social media to encourage teenagers to kill themselves," the conservative political pundit wrote on Twitter.
Owens also continued her tirade against Teigen on Instagram, posting a video lambasting the model.
"Chrissy Teigen told a child to commit suicide. How does any corporation in the world sponsor or deal with a woman who tells TEENAGERS that she fantasizes about them being dead?"
"Teigen told a 16 year old that they should commit suicide," Owens wrote. "How is she not beyond cancelled by now?"
"She is a deranged human being who should be wiped from the internet by Facebook/Twitter standards."
Owens was referring to a recent interview with Courtney Stodden, a now 26-year-old who became famous a decade ago when she married 50-year-old actor Doug Hutchinson.
Stodden said in The Daily Beast interview that she was rather frustrated with people for not helping her as a 16-year-old get out of a relationship that was clearly wrong.
After she divorced Hutchinson last year, she has become more open about the relationship and the cyberbullying she received while in her marriage.
Among those who bullied Stodden included Teigen and even her own dad, who [Stodden claims] tried flirting with her.
Teigen "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,'" Stodden alleged.
This isn't the first time Stodden has alleged bullying at the hands of Teigen.
When the model left Twitter two months ago after experiencing moments of bullying, Stodden spoke out against Teigen.
"It was just so hypocritical of her," Stodden said. "I think, for me, because I experienced so much harassment and bullying from her when I was just 16 years old, just 17 years old, just 18 years old, at a time when I needed help. Like, I was being abused.
"She has sent me so many different tweets. Private DMs, up 'til a couple years ago," Stodden continued. "It's so damaging when you have someone like Chrissy Teigen bullying children."
Although Teigen's alleged direct messages to Stodden have not been confirmed, Teigen's tweets are public, showing Teigen tweeting at Stodden to take a "dirt nap" and to "go to sleep forever."
