Popular American model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen turned down a guest voiceover role for the Netflix comedy "Never Have I Ever". The actress was accused of online bullying against model Courtney Stodden. Following the allegations Chrissy Teigen has decided to quit the show.

Chrissy Teigen had one planned voice role in the second season of the Netflix series. A spokesman for the show said the role might get recast.

Courtney was 16 at the time and Doug was 60. Courtney said that Chrissy Teigen sent her direct messages with cruel taunts. Chrissy Teigen then apologized to Courtney through a Twitter post:

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

Chrissy Teigen further added:

"I am completely ashamed and embarassed 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!! I have tried to connect with Courtney privately but since I publicly fuelled all this, I also want to publicly apologize. I’m so sorry, Courtney. I hope you can heal now knowing how deeply sorry I am.”
