"Going outside sucks and doesn't feel right, being at home alone with my mind makes my depressed head race. But I do know that however I'm handling this now isn't the right answer," she continued. "I feel lost and need to find my place again, I need to snap out of this, I desperately wanna communicate with you guys instead of pretending everything is okay. I'm not used to any other way!"
Of course, Teigen's candid confession about her bullying scandal garnered a lot of attention from fans, and many of them weren't buying her statement.
Chrissy Teigen joked about cancel culture
In her Instagram statement, Chrissy Teigen went on to say, "Cancel club is a fascinating thing and I have learned a whollllle lot. Only a few understand it and it's impossible to know til you're in it. And it's hard to talk about it in that sense because obviously you sound whiney when you've clearly done something wrong. It just sucks. There is no winning. But there never is here anyhow. All I know is I love you guys, I miss you guys, and I just needed an honest moment with you because I'm just...tired of being sick with myself all day. I don't even know if it's good to say any of this because it's gonna get brutally picked apart but I dunno. I can't do this silent s**t anymore"
Teigen even closed her message with a joke, revealing she needed "a cancel club reunion: so that she could get out of the house.

Cry me a river sweetheart!!" a third person commented. It appears not everyone online is ready to forgive Teigen for her past mistakes.
