KEY POINTS

  • Chrissy Teigen dropped out from her voice role on Netflix's "Never Have I Ever," a report says
  • A spokesperson for the show said the role is expected to be recast
  • This came after she publicly apologized to Courtney Stodden, who accused her of bullying them via social media

Chrissy Teigen has quit her role in Netflix's "Never Have I Ever" amid the backlash of her resurfaced DMs that bullied Courtney Stodden, a report says.

Teigen was set to have a voice role in one episode of "Never Have I Ever" Season 2. She was not fired but "opted to drop out" from the coming-of-age comedy-drama series created by Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher, Variety reported.

Following Teigen's exit, a spokesman for the show said the role will be recast.

"Never Have I Ever" revolves around a first-generation Indian American teen named Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), who is navigating high school while dealing with the grief of losing her father. The series features guest stars doing voiceover narration for key characters, with tennis star John McEnroe voicing Devi’s inner monologue in the first season, Us Weekly reported.

The cookbook author has yet to speak out on her exit from "Never Have I Ever." Us Weekly noted that she has not returned to social media since publicly apologizing to Stodden, who recounted the alleged bullying they experienced from Teigen between 2011 and 2012 in an interview with The Daily Beast last month.

According to the 26-year-old reality star, several celebrities, including Teigen, mocked and bullied them for marrying Doug Hutchinson, who is 35 years their senior, when they were just 16 years old. Hutchison, who featured alongside Tom Hanks in the 1999 drama movie "The Green Mile," was divorced from Stodden last year.

"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. Things like, 'I can’t wait for you to die,'" Stodden told the outlet of Teigen, adding that none of those celebrities other than Perez Hilton reached out to them to make amends for their comments.

Days after Stodden's interview came out, John Legend's wife offered a public apology on Twitter.

"Not a lot of people are lucky enough to be held accountable for all their past bulls--t in front of the entire world. I’m mortified and sad at who I used to be. I was an insecure, attention seeking troll," Teigen wrote.

"I am ashamed and completely embarrassed at my behavior but that is nothing compared to how I made Courtney feel. I have worked so hard to give you guys joy and be beloved and the feeling of letting you down is nearly unbearable, truly. These were not my only mistakes and surely won’t be my last as hard as I try but god I will try!!" she added.

Stodden accepted the apology but suggested that Teigen may just be trying to lessen the damage to her reputation.

"I accept her apology and forgive her," Stodden wrote on Instagram on May 13, shortly after Teigen posted her apology. "But the truth remains the same, I have never heard from her or her camp in private. In fact, she blocked me on Twitter."

They continued, "All of me wants to believe this is a sincere apology, but it feels like a public attempt to save her partnerships with Target and other brands who are realizing her 'wokeness' is a broken record."
