The Chrissy Teigan bullying teen bride Courtney Stodden sitch has taken quite the turn. According to TMZ, after Courtney went public yet again with old tweets from Chrissy harassing her and telling her she should just die, Chrissy has finally said something. Chrissy now says, "I'm mortified and sad at who I used to be. I was an insecure, attention seeking troll. I am ashamed and completely embarrassed at my behavior." Chrissy added that she's tried connecting with Courtney privately, but without success, so she added, "I'm so sorry, Courtney. I hope you can heal now knowing how deeply sorry I am." Courtney's response? "I accept her apology and forgive her. But, the truth remains the same, I have never heard from her or her camp in private. In fact, she blocked me on Twitter. All of me wants to believe this is a sincere apology, but it feels like a public attempt to save her partnerships with Target and other brands who are realizing her 'wokeness' is a broken record."

She said all the drama over a toxic work environment didn't affect her decision, pointing out, "I was going to stop after Season 16…. they wanted to sign for four more years…saying there was no way to sign for one.

"This Is Us" will be ending after Season 6. The show, which is currently in its fifth season, will start shooting the final season will this summer to air during the 2021-2022 season. I know I told you before, but apparently the network is planning to make it official and share the news tomorrow when they announce their 2021-22 broadcast season. As I told you before, creator Dan Fogelman had been planning for this all along. The way he sees it, structure of the series wasn't sustainable for a "Law & Order"-type run. On the bright side, I can now free up an hour a week I no longer have to set aside for crying.
