Chrissy Teigen's Ad With Cord Blood Registry Is Heavily Criticized By People Who Haven't Forgotten All Her Controversies

With more than 41 million followers on Instagram, Chrissy Teigen is a well-known celebrity who is loved by many but perhaps disliked by just as many others. Her marriage to John Legend has been highly publicized, and they have three children together. Despite her success with her cookbook and modeling career, Chrissy ran into a few major controversies that resulted in a mass unfollowing and the popular hashtag #CancelChrissyTeigen. In 2020, Chrissy was caught deleting 60,000 of her old tweets and blocking 1 million people on Twitter after she was accused of visiting Jeffrey Epstein's "pedophile island" called Little St. James. Some of the tweets she deleted were disturbing and pedophilic in nature. "I just saw a baby that looked like a porn star. Like a trashy do-anything porn star. Is this wrong to think?" she tweeted in September 2009. "Seeing little girls do the splits half naked is just... I want to put myself in jail. #toddlerssandtiaras," she tweeted in July 2011. Mass speculation quickly grew that Chrissy was involved with Epstein's pedophile ring. Her name is allegedly on the list of people who flew on Epstein's private plane as well. Chrissy tried to play it off as harmless humor and attempted to paint herself as the victim. "I actually deleted 60,000 tweets because I cannot f*cking STAND you idiots anymore and I'm worried for my family," she tweeted in 2020. But that wasn't the end of controversies swirling around Chrissy. In 2021, private messages were shared publicly to reveal that she was cruelly bullying people and even encouraging suicide. Courtney Stodden, a former model, was a victim of Chrissy's attacks when she was only 16 years old. Courtney was pawned off to marry a 51-year-old man by her family, and Chrissy, who was 26 years old at the time, sent abusive tweets and allegedly told Courtney to kill herself. Just two years after that, Chrissy attacked child actress Quvenzahné Wallis after she won Best Dressed at the Oscars. "Is it okay to call a small child cocky? I am forced to like Quvenzahné Wallis because she's a child right? Okay fine," Chrissy tweeted. She attempted to apologize to her victims in a Medium post and told everyone she has learned a lot after years of therapy, but few people were willing to accept her tears. In a culture that cancels people and ruins their livelihood over something as minor as one inappropriate joke from 20 years ago, how is it that Chrissy is still one of the top dogs of Hollywood and widely celebrated by the very crowd that claims to hate bullying? Chrissy Teigen's Ad with Cord Blood Registry Heavily Criticized by People Who Haven't Forgotten All Her Controversies Cord Blood Registry is named America's largest family cord blood bank, and the brand promises to preserve your baby's cord blood and store your newborn's stem cells. Chrissy had partnered with Cord Blood Registry and done a series of ads with them, both for TV and social media. On Twitter, Cord Blood Registry posted an ad with a picture of Chrissy holding up one of their boxes. "Because even when you're the mama who has it all, a little peace of mind for your family's future is priceless! To enroll in CBR's once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, head to the link below, with special pricing from our friend, Chrissy!" the tweet said. But the reactions to it are not pleasant. People are not going to let Chrissy forget about her long history of bullying and attacking people online, and they are disturbed by the fact that Cord Blood Registry has partnered with her and seemingly forgotten about her past behavior. "This ain't it," one user commented. "That's a hell no for me that lady is evil [sic]," another person replied. "Didn't she tell a sixteen year old to kill herself or something," one person commented. "You chose a spokesperson who publicly told a teenager to kill herself. Small advertising budget? As a long time CBR client, I am incredibly disappointed," one person said. Chrissy may be using her social media to feature her family life and attempt to show people that she has changed and grown over the last several years, but there are plenty of people who aren't buying into her new narrative.
