Pete Davidson Is 'Relieved' Chrissy Teigen Is 'Out Of Our Lives' Following Courtney Stodden Bullying Scandal
May 23 2021, Published 12:28 p.m. ET
Pete Davidson took quite the jab at Chrissy Teigen on the Weekend Update segment of this week's Saturday Night Live.
At the top of a discussion about Mental Health Awareness Month with co-star Colin Jost, Davidson joked, "If there's one good thing about the pandemic, besides getting Chrissy Teigen out of our lives..."
The 27-year-old comedian paused due to the audience's boisterous response. He then made a face and added, "I'm relieved," while shrugging his shoulders and quickly moving on to talk about mandatory mask-wearing and chats with his therapist.
He did not mention the 35-year-old model-turned-cookbook author again.
The Twitter-loving wife of John Legend has found herself in a major career pickle following allegations she once urged a then-teenage Courtney Stodden to kill themselves.
Just last week, Bloomingdales became the latest major retailer to distance itself from her.
According to Page Six, the Upper East side institution pulled out of a nearly finalized deal with Teigen – which reportedly involved her hosting a promotional event for the store – due to her recently resurfaced cyber-bullying scandal involving Stodden and others.
"They pretty much had it together … but had to cancel it," the insider said.
Mere days before that, Macy's – which shares a parent company with Bloomies – appeared to pull Teigen's Cravings by Chrissy cookware line from its website, as the entire collection is now "unavailable" for purchase.
Another source familiar with the situation told Page Six that Macy's removed the products from its site because internet users were flooding the review sections with opinions on the scandal. The source added that the company has not yet made a decision about whether Teigen's merchandise will ever be available on Macy.com again.
Along with Davidson's public dig, this is all the latest in the continued fallout stemming from Teigen recently having copped to cyber-bullying Stodden, who claimed Chrissy's decade-old public Twitter attacks got darker in private.
