Chrissy Teigen has been replaced by Gigi Hadid on the Netflix series Never Have I Ever, following her recent cyber-bullying controversy.
Teigen was set to take on a guest role as a narrator in a second season episode of the show but was replaced after admitting to harassing people like media personality Courtney Stodden on Twitter.
Hadid was revealed to be Teigen’s replacement when the new season of the comedy series dropped earlier this week.
“Had the BEST time getting to narrate a new episode of @neverhaveiever… Big love to @mindykaling & the whole NHIE team!” Hadid wrote on Instagram, opting not to mention the Teigen scandal.
Teigen’s departure from the show was confirmed last month when a spokesperson revealed that she had “decided to step away from a guest voiceover role”.
“The role is expected to be recast,” the representative added.
Meanwhile, Teigen recently issued a lengthy statement revealing that she is “depressed” over becoming part of the “cancel club”.

“Going outside sucks and doesn’t feel right, being at home alone with my mind makes my depressed head race. But I do know that however, I’m handling this now isn’t the right answer,” she said.
She continued: “Cancel club is a fascinating thing and I have learned a whollllle lot. Only a few understand it and it’s impossible to know til you’re in it. And it’s hard to talk about it in that sense because obviously you sound whiney when you’ve clearly done something wrong. It just sucks.”
“There is no winning. But there never is here anyhow… I just needed an honest moment with you because I’m just…tired of being sick with myself all day.”
“If you or someone you know has also been cancelled please let me know if there is a cancel club reunion because I could use some time off my couch! Thank u and goodbye I love u,” she concluded.
