Chrissy Teigen’s Straight‑Up Confession
After popping a quick break from Instagram and Twitter, the Lip‑Sync Battle queen finally cut her losses and slid out a heartfelt note on Medium. She’s all about owning her past blunders, gathering her courage to reach out, and pleading for a slice of patience from her fanbase.
Serial Apologies (and a Laugh Track)
Chrissy sits down with the big “I messed up” moment and lays it bare:
- “I’ve been in a hole of deserved global punishment, “ she says. “I’ve spent every minute feeling that crushing weight of regret.”
- Amid the shame, she admits she has already apologised publicly to one person… but she’s eager to reach out privately to everyone else she offended.
- Chrissy likens herself to a “My Name is Earl”–style vigilante, but instead of “paying it forward,” she’s making amends. The only difference: she’s a little nervous about actual conversation because “I can’t…handle confrontation.”
- “If you do want to talk, I’m ready to listen, even if I’m crying.”
No Excuses, Just a Stomach of Shame
She calls out her old Twitter habits with a clear-cut stance:
- No excuse for the hateful tweets. The people she targeted didn’t deserve that—no one does.
- They “needed empathy, kindness, understanding, and support—” not “meanness disguised as edgy humor.” The blame lands squarely on her, who qualifies herself as “a troll.”
- She paints a picture of her younger, insecure self: “I was immature, sprinting for likes, poking at celebrities for a quick comedic jab that I thought made me cool.”
The Self‑Improvement Promise
Putting a positive spin on her missteps, Chrissy ends her letter with what she calls a plea for build‑up and not a plea for absolution:
“I won’t ask for your forgiveness. Just your patience and tolerance as I own my past mistakes and work toward real change.”
All in all, it’s a lay‑down of “I messed up, here’s what I’m changing,” delivered with a little humor, a whole lot of humility, and a plea for a chance to learn and grow.
