'Hollywood protects predators': Candace Owens compares Chrissy Teigen to Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein saying she has publicly victimized women for a decade... a day after branding her a 'massive, disgusting hypocrite'
Candace Owens is continuing her takedown of Chrissy Teigen, labeling her a Hollywood 'predator' similar to Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein who has publicly victimized women for years.
Owens tweeted Friday that despite her predatory ways Teigen has been able to get away with 'victimizing' people for years because she was 'protected by Hollywood.'
'People wonder how people like Harvey Weinstein & Epstein were able to victimize people for years despite the fact that “everybody knew”. It’s the same reason Chrissy Teigen has been platformed despite publicly victimizing women for over a decade. Hollywood protects predators.' Owens tweeted.
She then followed up with a tweet that read #SurvivingChrissyTeigen, a reference to the Surviving R. Kelly docuseries that exposed abuse allegations against the singer.

The Twitter attack comes a day after the political commentator branded the 35-year-old model a 'massive, disgusting hypocrite' after Teigen apologized for sending Courtney Stodden abusive tweets and direct messages encouraging the former teen bride to commit suicide.
Addressing the recent Stodden controversy, Owens penned: 'Chrissy Teigen has offered a public apology to Courtney Stodden for encouraging her to commit suicide as a teenager, but ONLY because I blew the story up.
'The media has given Chrissy a pass for YEARS as she has monstrously attacked people, repeatedly for simply existing.'
Owens did not limit her tirade against Teigen to just Twitter.
On Friday she continued to post about Teigen, this time on her Instagram stories, where she encouraged people to go to Macys.com and leave negative reviews of Teigen's kitchenware.
In one story she tagged the department store, saying it is 'unacceptable' that they continue to sell her products.
In one review under Teigen's kitchenware, Owens screenshotted she wrote '#cancelchrissy Macys shouldn't sell her items, she is a dangerous woman that preys on teenagers'

Never: Courtney Stodden claims that Chrissy Teigen 'never' reached out to them privately to apologize for the abusive tweets and direct messages that she sent in 2011
Teigen penned an apology on Twitter for her previous actions on Wednesday saying she was 'ashamed and completely embarrassed' by her actions, stating: 'Not a lot of people are lucky enough to be held accountable for all their past bulls*** in front of the entire world. I'm mortified and sad at who I used to be.'
She added: 'I was an insecure, attention seeking troll. I am ashamed and completely embarrassed at my behavior but that...is nothing compared to how I made Courtney feel.'
Teigen concluded: 'And I am so sorry I let you guys down. I will forever work on being better than I was 10 years ago, 1 year ago, 6 months ago.'
However Stodden claimed that Teigen 'never' reached out to them privately to apologize for the abusive tweets and direct messages that she sent in 2011.
'I accept her apology and forgive her. But the truth remains the same, I have never heard from her or her camp in private,' wrote Stodden via Instagram on Wednesday.
Stodden, who recently came out as non-binary sharing new pronouns, they/them/their, recently revealed that Teigen had sent an abusive direct message where she told the former teen bride to commit suicide.
The 26-year-old also said they had been 'blocked' by Teigen on Twitter, which is where the model had chosen to issue her apology to Stodden earlier that day.
'In fact, she blocked me on Twitter,' Stodden wrote, followed by a screengrab showing that they were unable to view Chrissy's account due to being allegedly blocked.
The controversy continued to roll in for Teigen on Thursday when 2013 tweets were unearthed where Teigen called a then nine-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis 'cocky', as well as Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham a 'wh**e' the same year.
'Is it okay to call a small child cocky?' Teigen tweeted at the time when Wallis had been nominated for an Oscar in 2013. 'I am forced to like Quvenzhané Wallis because she's a child right? Okay fine.'
Teigen, 35, appeared to suggest that the young actress had come across as precocious at the ceremony, where she had been nominated for her turn in Beasts of the Southern Wild. But facing backlash at the time, Teigen later deleted the tweet.
Writer Clarkisha Kent brought up the incident in light of Teigen's apology to Stodden on Wednesday, writing: 'Apologize to Quvenzhané Wallis as well... I hope this is the day you realize that some things come with their own punishment & that projecting your self-hate onto others isn't "quirky."'
That same year, Teigen took at aim at a then-21-year-old Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham, tweeting: 'farrah abraham now thinks she is pregnant from her sex tape. in other news you're a whore and everyone hates you whoops not other news sorry.'
Shocking: Political commentator Owens, 32, took to Twitter on Thursday after the apology as she unearthed more vile tweets Teigen, 35, made in the past
Distressing: Owens also shared a tweet allegedly penned by Teigen in which she called on the politician to 'shoot herself in the face'
Calling out: The political commentator questioned Target's partnership with the model amid the Twitter storm
Owens has shared a series of controversial posts by Teigen, one aimed at Lindsay Lohan in 2011, that said the actress 'adds a few more slits to her wrists when she sees emma stone [sic]', while another tweet targeting politician Sarah Palin read: 'listen. i don't want much from sarah palin. i just want her to admit partial fault, then shoot herself in the face. is that wrong? [sic]'
Addressing Teigen's tweet about Lohan, Owens shared: 'Another @chrissyteigen suicide tweet. This time dedicated to Lindsay Lohan.
'Isn't John Legend's wife just SO FUNNY when she encourages self-harm? All of you celebrities are massive, disgusting hypocrites who treat people like dirt.'
In response to the tweet about Palin, Owens tweeted: 'Chrissy Teigen also pleaded with Sarah Palin to commit suicide by shooting herself in the face. @target is still carrying her products.'
Back in September of 2018, Teigen and her brand launched the Cravings by Chrissy Teigen collection, which was made 'available exclusively at Target.'
The range, according to an official press release published by Target at the time, consisted of 40 different kitchenware items 'ranging in price from $4 for drinkware to $140 for a 12-piece cookware set.'
Mark Tritton, who is now the former executive vice president and chief merchandising officer for Target, praised the collaboration in the 2018 press release, stressing that Target '[has] a great relationship with Chrissy and have worked with her in a number of ways over the years.'
Since the collection's initial launch, Cravings by Chrissy Teigen has continued to launch products through Target, with one of the more recent drops occurring in December 2020.
Owens' rehashing of old tweets comes after Teigen has repeatedly come under fire for a string of vile remarks made over the years.
Forgiven? The former teen bride said they were dubious about the intention behind Teigen's apology and posted an image showing they had been blocked by the model on Twitter
In 2009: Teigen ridiculed transsexual contestants on America's Next Top Model
In 2010: The model mocked Lady Gaga's appearance in tweers since
Back in 2018, Twitter users unearthed several outrageous comments made by Teigen, including one from 2009 in which she ridiculed transsexual contestants on America's Next Top Model by posting: 'God. Can we just come out and call the freaking show America's next top tr***y because this s**t has been t***tastic for the past five years.'
She also mocked Lady Gaga's appearance in 2010, saying: 'Aaaaah. I feel like lady gaga. But with lady parts.'
She taunted Demi Lovato about her stay in an addiction clinic: 'demi lovato is out of rehab! I hope she made the bed for Charlie.'
When Mariah Carey announced she was having twins in 2010, Teigen cruelly shamed her: 'why is anyone surprised mariah is having twins? I was always pretty positive there were 2-15 babies growing inside of her.'
In 2013, she attacked Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham: 'farrah Abraham now thinks she is pregnant from her sex tape. In other news you're a whore and everyone hates you.'
She also lashed out at Avril Lavigne in a since deleted tweet: 'If u told me I could I have kid but it would be exactly like avril, I would choose to have a barren, sterile existence that ends when I die.'
She mocked comedian Jay Mohr over the name of his baby son in 2011
'NikkI Cox and Jay Mohr named their son Meredith. Their son, Meredith. Meredith is their son's name. The name of their son is Meredith.'
A 'dirt nap' alludes to a dead person's burial, and Teigen's 2011 tweet to Stodden reads: 'My friday fantasy: you. dirt nap. mmmmmm baby.' Another tweet from Teigen to Stodden stated: 'go. to sleep. forever.'
It is not clear what triggered Teigen to compose the public attacks on Stodden, other than at the time they were just 16-years-old and had gained notoriety for marrying Green Mile actor Doug Hutchinson, who was 51.

In March this year, Stodden criticized Teigen and called her out for being a hypocrite for temporarily leaving Twitter over negative comments, when she herself had made such disparaging remarks towards Stodden.
The model and singer claimed 'bullying' by Teigen on social media.
Teigen revealed she was quitting Twitter (though would later rejoin) amid a string of negative comments from trolls, which the model said had left her feeling 'deeply bruised.'
At the time of Teigen's brief departure from Twitter, Stodden brought up a 2011 tweet from the model which read: 'Saying Courtney Stodden's FB age got shut down for being too sexy is like saying the Nazi's were just meanies. As in, not quite.'
Stodden first accused Teigen of bullying her in an Instagram video last April, they appeared to suggest the negative comments had all started after their controversial marriage to Hutchinson was first made public.
'I'm going through a lot right now behind closed doors and I'm coming to a lot of, kind of like, revelations I guess about the choices that I made but also that the adults made around me when I was a minor and got married,' Stodden said.
'This video is definitely calling out Chrissy Teigen. She stalked me. She harassed me. She bullied me, and keep in mind, I was a minor.'
'She would call me a whore, a slut, she would tell me she hated me. Every name in the book she called me,' Stodden went on to claim.

'Hey. For over 10 years, you guys have been my world. I honestly owe so much to this world we have created here. I truly consider so many of you my actual friends,' she began.
'But it's time for me to say goodbye. This no longer serves me as positively as it serves me negatively, and I think that’s the right time to call something,' she admitted.
