Courtney Stodden's tearful snap as 'bully' Chrissy Teigen returns to public eye

Celebrity and model Courtney Stodden has shared a very tearful and emotional Instagram snap about allowing themselves to be vulnerable.

The American media personality took to Instagram to share an emotional post, writing: "'Was I kind today? Did I show up and exude empathy and compassion to my neighbor? Did I offer love or did I fall short?'

"It’s important to ask ourselves these simple yet powerful questions at the end of every day because tomorrow is another day where we could easily hurt someone and scar them with our words."

They continued: "I had to break my 30 day to show vulnerability without giving myself away - going back into social media hiding now. #compassion #love #mentalhealth #bullying."

The post from the public figure comes after their former 'bully' Chrissy Teigen's recent return to the public eye following the explosive cyberbullying scandal that she was involved in earlier this year.

In 2011, Chrissy took to Twitter to publish a few harshly worded tweets directed at Courtney Stodden.

One of the tweets in question encouraged the then 16 year old to kill themselves.

At the time, Courtney was a rising star after marrying actor Doug Hutchison, now 61. Although the couple got divorced in 2020.

Back in May when Chrissy's tweets were unearthed, the 35-year-old wife of John Legend apologised on Twitter for her past actions.

She then wrote a full-length blog post in a bid to say sorry to her victims and the world.

She wrote: " There is simply no excuse for my past horrible tweets. My targets didn’t 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.

"I was a troll, full stop. And I am so sorry."

She continued: " In reality, I was insecure, immature and in a world where I thought I needed to impress strangers to be accepted. If 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."
