John Legend says Chrissy Teigen is "doing great" these days, which is a huge blow to one of her alleged cyber-bullying victims, Farrah Abraham.
The 16 and Pregnant-turned-Teen Mom alum says she is still waiting on her publicly promised apology from the 35-year-old model-turned-cookbook author for cyber-bullying her almost a decade ago.
In 2013 – around the time Farrah attempted to transition from reality television to pornography – Chrissy tweeted at the then-21-year-old, "farrah abraham now thinks she is pregnant from her sex tape. in other news you're a [expletive] and everyone hates you whoops not other news sorry."
Abraham, now 30, was just one of many young people and children in Hollywood on the receiving end of Teigen's streak of mean tweets, many of which resurfaced earlier this year after Courtney Stodden came forward to claim Teigen would also urge them to commit suicide in private messages.
The blowback was instant and seemingly never-ending, as Chrissy ended up losing business deals with Target, Macy's, Bloomingdales and Netflix.
Penning a lengthy response to Chrissy's long letter on the ordeal – which both women published on Medium – Farrah explained that at the time of the internet attacks, she was "very much staying strong for my daughter and dealing with public sex shaming, by those who took advantage of my vulnerability in the same both men and woman. Like a lot of teen mothers with a lot of undeserved criticism, judgement, being taken advantage of and so much else many older moms will never understand, those who do not have children and men."
Abraham feels Teigen's apology memo was "said through the hate behavior and nice behavior whiplash of mood behavior described by her," adding that her snarky social media remarks were "was used to get clout, notoriety, build a following to get famous, be with possibly the person she wanted to be with, the friend group she wanted to fit in with, get the fashion, style angle of public persona rather than only being discovered through her husbands music video, and act nice to friends she made in real life who believed in being above essential celebrities, gossiping complete immature lies and hate publicly that their friends supported loudly on social media and privately."
