Vacation home rental service Vrbo is taking heat for adding model Chrissy Teigen as a brand partner and featuring her in a new ad, as Teigen continues to face fire for years of online bullying and telling model Courtney Stodden to commit suicide.
Vrbo added Chrissy Teigen and her pop star husband John Legend to an ad that played during the Monday broadcast of the finale for
The Voice on NBC, a singing competition show on which Legend is a judge.
But the company quickly found heavy criticism for including Teigen as she continues to face criticism for online bullying and telling model Courtney Stodden to kill herself six years ago. Teigen apologized for the abusive social media messages.
Can anyone guess why?
It comes just days after Teigen who has two kids with singer hu$$$band
John Legend issued a
suicide back in 2011.
‘I was an insecure, attention seeking troll,’ Teigen admitted Wednesday as the prior fracas came to dominate tabloid headlines. (
‘…please make it all go away!’)
‘I am ashamed and completely embarrassed at my behavior but that…is nothing compared to how I made Courtney feel,’ the former supermodel wrote.
‘I am so sorry I let you guys down,’ she told fans. ‘I will forever work on being better than I was 10 years ago, 1 year ago, 6 months ago.’
