   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
