The Chrissy Teigen scandal is on: she wants to tell her story to Oprah

It seems intense to me. You spend years working on your career, millions of fans praise you for your honesty, dryness, and humor, and the next moment you are a witch. A mean bully who incites young people to suicide.

Chrissy Teigen has been part of a real media scandal since it became known that she was quite a bizarre loudmouth on Twitter in the past. For instance, she reportedly told reality star Courtney Stodden that she might as well end her life. A rather brainless tweet, of course, that has since haunted the model.

Meanwhile, there is a Weinstein effect going on: one after another person who was bullied by Chrissy in the past is coming forward. Actress Lindsay Lohan and fashion designer Michael Costello also claim to have been severely bullied by the model. Chrissy publicly apologized, but it didn't help. And now? Now not a day goes by without American tabloids coming up with a new story about a victim she has targeted. And now Chrissy is down in the dumps.

Somewhere you do empathize when someone becomes part of a media scandal. I have been wondering for weeks how Bilal Wahib is doing, I felt pretty bad for Ellen DeGeneres that she stopped her show after the media scandal, and yes: the issue surrounding Chrissy also touches me. Could it really be as black and white as it is being portrayed now? Could Chrissy indeed have been a nasty person? Don't bullies always bully from a lack within themselves? Has she grown as a person and used her influence for good deeds? Don't we all make stupid mistakes in our lives? Somewhere I also think there is a gray area in all of this.

Meanwhile, it is being whispered that Chrissy hopes to tell her story to Oprah Winfrey. ‘She is in talks with Oprah to do an interview, just like her friend Meghan Markle did,’ says a source. ‘Chrissy is a fighter and thinks she can save her reputation this way. Because if Oprah forgives you, the rest will follow naturally.’

You understand: where there is a media scandal, multiple television networks are competing for an exclusive interview. And with Oprah's name already being mentioned, I think this interview will take place very soon. One of the most important pillars in journalism: hearing both sides. I am also curious about Chrissy's side of the story...
