The apology, though, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/courtney-stodden-rips-chrissy-teigen-apology-trying-to-save-her-brand-wokeness-a-broken-record\">was not well-received by Stodden<\/a>, who claimed it felt like Teigen was just trying to protect her brand. Stodden also disputed Teigen\u2019s claim that she tried to privately reach out to her; Stodden emphasized her assertions by posting a screenshot showing that Teigen has blocked her on Twitter, apparently preventing a private, direct message conversation.<\/p>\n<p>In her Medium post, Teigen acknowledged that she has yet to reach out privately to Stodden, though she said she\u2019s \u201cin the process\u201d of doing so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand that they may not want to speak to me. I don\u2019t think I\u2019d like to speak to me. (The real truth in all of this is how much I actually cannot take confrontation.) But if they do, I am here and I will listen to what they have to say, while apologizing through sobs,\u201d Teigen wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is simply no excuse for my past horrible tweets,\u201d the model continued. \u201cMy targets didn\u2019t deserve them. No one does. Many of them needed empathy, kindness, understanding and support, not my meanness masquerading as a kind of casual, edgy humor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn reality, I was insecure, immature and in a world where I thought I needed to impress strangers to be accepted,\u201d Teigen said. \u201cIf there was a pop culture pile-on, I took to Twitter to try to gain attention and show off what I at the time believed was a crude, clever, harmless quip. I thought it made me cool and relatable if I poked fun at celebrities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, Teigen has become the victim of \u201cincredible vitriol,\u201d she wrote, an \u201cirony\u201d that is \u201cnot lost\u201d on her:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"11\">\n<p><em>Life has made me more empathetic. I\u2019m more understanding of what motivates trolling \u2014 the instant gratification that you get from lashing out and clapping back, throwing rocks at someone you think is invincible because they\u2019re famous. Also, I know now how it feels to be on the receiving end of incredible vitriol. Believe me, the irony of this is not lost on me.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI won\u2019t ask for your forgiveness, only your patience and tolerance,\u201d she closed the post. \u201cI ask that you allow me, as I promise to allow you, to own past mistakes and be given the opportunity to seek self improvement and change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/sick-candace-owens-calls-on-target-to-drop-chrissy-teigen-after-horrifying-messages-revealed\">\u2018Sick\u2019: Candace Owens Calls On Target To Drop Chrissy Teigen After Horrifying Messages\u00a0Revealed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
