Chrissy Teigen might be considered a woke icon but in the past few days a shocking side to the model has come to the fore. Teigen's old tweets of 'bullying' other celebrities resurfaced after model Courtney Stodden accused her of telling them to 'kill' themselves. The 'Lip Sync Battle' host faced immense backlash for her past actions. The controversy even prompted her to issue an elaborate apology on Twitter, where she said, "I’m mortified and sad at who I used to be. I was an insecure, attention-seeking troll. I am ashamed and completely embarrassed at my behavior...". "And I am so sorry I let you guys down. I will forever work on being better than I was 10 years ago, 1 year ago, 6 months ago," Chrissy Teigen wrote in her apology tweet.

Speculations are now rife among social media users if Teigen will be 'canceled' in a manner similar to Ellen DeGeneres. The famous talk show host announced the end of her program 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' on May 12, following months of dwindling ratings. The show's popularity went downhill after reports about the show's toxic work environment surfaced last year. The accusations included discrimination and even sexual harassment, which went on to tarnish the brand image of DeGeneres. Though she herself was not specifically named in the allegations, DeGeneres later apologized for the behavior but that did little to salvage the drop in the show's ratings.
