      XPost: alt.niggers, alt.politics.democrats, alt.fashion       XPost: sac.politics       From: nigger-lovers@disney.com              Viewers of “The Voice” will see a surprising new commercial this       Tuesday.              John Legend — one of the judges on the NBC competition show —       will appear in a spot for vacation-rental site Vrbo, along with       his wife, Chrissy Teigen, their two young children, and Teigen’s       mother Vilailuck “Pepper” Teigen.              It should have been a clever piece of cross-promotion. Instead,       Teigen is embroiled in a scandal that is casting a dark shadow       over her career — not to mention the business deals she shares       with Legend and even her mother, who has benefited from Teigen’s       fame with a newly released cookbook of her own.              Teigen has been exposed for sending shockingly cruel messages to       other women on social media, telling TV personality Courtney       Stodden in 2011 to “Go. To sleep. Forever.” and mocking Lindsay       Lohan, who has admitted to cutting herself in the past, by       tweeting that same year: “Lindsay adds a few more slits to her       wrists when she sees Emma Stone.” In 2013, Teigen publicly       called “Teen Mom” star Farrah Abraham “a whore.”              The women Teigen targeted on social media              The revelation of these long-forgotten messages led to her       Cravings cookware line — which Teigen tirelessly promoted to her       13.6 million followers on Twitter and 34.8 million followers on       Instagram — being pulled from Macy’s. Although it was previously       reported that Target had also dropped Teigen, a rep for the       store said: “We made the mutual decision in December to no       longer carry the cookware line.” Macy’s has not confirmed if the       line is shelved for good.              Teigen is now holed up with her family at their Los Angeles home       and a source who knows her told The Post: “She’s so raw and       vulnerable … I don’t know if she can come back to social media.”              The Teigen source admitted that the store brands had their hands       forced to sever their relationships with the model after being       bombarded by customer complaints on social media. “As you can       imagine, last week was wild,” the source said. “When people       start going after brands, whether warranted or not, it creates a       mess for the brands to deal with.”              Page Six reported that Bloomingdale’s was hours away from       signing a contract with Teigen to host a promotional event for       the store, but pulled the plug on Monday.       Although a source with knowledge of the Vrbo partnership told       The Post there were “no issues” and the deal is “moving forward       as planned,” branding expert Mark Borkowski isn’t so sure Teigen       will be forgiven by her fans or the people who hired her. (Vrbo       did not respond to requests for comment.)              “No one tolerates the idea of a bully. Within the business       values of many of these brands it causes problems,” Borkowski       said. “It’s all about authenticity. If you’re found out not to       be what you [claim] to be, that always leads to an Icarus moment       and everything comes crashing down. One day you’re hot and the       next day you’re canceled due to stupidity, arrogance or ego.              “America is the worst place to be shamed — and the first people       to jump ship are agents [who arrange deals], if they don’t see       money in you.”              Stodden, who first came into the public eye in 2011 as a 16-year-       old wed to 51-year-old actor Doug Hutchinson, brought the       scandal to light on May 10 in an interview with the Daily Beast.              “She wouldn’t just publicly tweet about wanting me to take ‘a       dirt nap’ but would privately DM me and tell me to kill myself,”       said Stodden. “Things like, ‘I can’t wait for you to die.’”              In March Stodden, now 26, also posted a video to Instagram in       which 2011 tweets from Teigen were revealed that ranged from “I       hate you” to “my Friday fantasy: you. Dirt nap.”              And while Teigen is known for her sparky humor, it didn’t jibe       with the image on which she has built her brand — as a loving       mom and wife, and a champion of women. The 35-year-old model has       made it her deal to be open and honest about everything, from       getting sober to the tragic stillbirth of her baby son Jack at       20 weeks into her pregnancy, even publishing a series of raw       photos from her hospital room in September 2020.              It’s all helped her build a huge social media following and, it       turns out, some of those followers are just as vicious as she       has been.              Insiders worry about how the scandal will affect deals for her       family, including husband John Legend and mom Pepper (above).       As The Post previously reported, retired military nurse and self-       confessed social-media troll Kari Rhyan found herself in a       Twitter war with Teigen in 2019 after commenting “You are       waaaaaay overrated” to the star — and while that wasn’t so nice       in itself, Rhyan was still shocked to be bombarded with messages              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
