Pete Davidson ripped into Chrissy Teigen on this week’s “SNL.”
The comic took aim at the model — who is embroiled in a cyberbullying scandal after cruel messages from her past re-emerged — during the show’s “Weekend Update” segment.
“If there’s one good thing about the pandemic, besides getting Chrissy Teigen out of our lives, it’s …” the 27-year-old began his joke on the show’s Season 46 finale.
When the audience reacted with some cheers but also boos and some apparent upset, Davidson shrugged and added, “I’m relieved,” before continuing his joke about wearing masks.
Davidson’s dig comes after 35-year-old Teigen’s recent fall from grace, after reality star Courtney Stodden publicly spoke about the star’s awful messages from the past.
“[Teigen] wouldn’t just publicly tweet about wanting me to take ‘a dirt nap’ but would privately DM me and tell me to kill myself,” Stodden told The Daily Beast in an interview that published on May 10.
Though Teigen, who has two children with husband John Legend, publicly apologized after Stodden’s revelation — even calling herself an “insecure, attention seeking troll” — Stodden has since claimed that the social media star never reached out to her personally about the cyberbullying.
Following Stodden’s interview, Macy’s pulled Teigen’s cookware line and Bloomingdale’s walked away before finalizing a deal with the star.
Teigen, who has 34.8 million Instagram followers and 13.6 million Twitter followers, has been noticeably absent from all social media since the bullying scandal made headlines.
