I\u2019m mortified and sad at who I used to be. I was an insecure, attention seeking troll,\u201d Teigen tweeted. \u201cI am ashamed and completely embarrassed at my behavior but that is nothing compared to how I made Courtney feel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI have worked so hard to give you guys joy and be beloved and the feeling of letting you down is nearly unbearable, truly. These were not my only mistakes and surely won\u2019t be my last as hard as I try but god I will try!!\u201d Teigen added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI have tried to connect with Courtney privately but since I publicly fueled all this, I want to also publicly apologize. I\u2019m so sorry, Courtney. I hope you can heal now knowing how deeply sorry I am,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd 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.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Now, I was reliably informed that the vast majority of conservatives oppose \u201ccancel culture.\u201d I was also reliably informed that conservatives believe in forgiveness, and believe that destroying someone\u2019s life for their mistakes of the past is not something a forgiving society should promote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Well, apparently that\u2019s simply not true. Apparently, many conservatives are just as hungry for the fresh blood of \u201ccancel culture\u201d as the Left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Teigen is now experiencing the reality of \u201ccancel culture,\u201d with the model\u2019s products reportedly <\/span><span>\u201cscrubbed\u201d from Target\u2019s website following the Stodden scandal, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/entertainment\/2883102\/chrissy-teigen-cravings-kitchen-removed-target-courtney-stodden-bullying\/\"><span>The Sun<\/span><\/a><span>. Some conservatives celebrated this move, calling for further action against the model.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Yes, Chrissy Teigen is a depraved, ignorant and entirely unimportant human being, whose long history of bizarre and immoral behavior should be condemned in real-time. And yes, \u201ccancel culture\u201d does not apply to every case of \u201ccancellation,\u201d since there is objectively bad behavior in our society \u2014 extreme examples include white supremacy or mass murder \u2014 which does not justify your continued existence as a respected participant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>However, trying to destroy someone\u2019s life for appalling things they<\/span><i><span> tweeted<\/span><\/i><span><em>&nbsp;10 years ago<\/em>, after they offered an apparently sincere apology? Isn\u2019t this exactly the sort of reaction \u201cconservatives\u201d have been complaining about for years? After all, if<\/span><span>&nbsp;\u201ccancel culture\u201d is wrong, then it\u2019s still wrong when the Left are the rare victims of its jaws. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As conservatives cheer Teigen\u2019s downfall, perhaps they should remind themselves that <\/span><i><span>nothing<\/span><\/i><span> about the celebration of Teigen\u2019s demise is conservative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Ian Haworth is an Editor and Writer for The Daily Wire.
