The model and author asked fans to allow her to 'own past mistakes' after being accused of bullying reality star Courtney Stodden online.
On Monday, Teigen steered clear of mentioning Stodden by name, noting only that she’d “apologized publicly to one person.” Much of her blog, however, read like a preemptive mea culpa to others who might come forward with similar claims.
