Someone Shaded Chrissy Teigen Last Night, So Of Course John Legend Shut It Down
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend attended the 2018 Emmys last night (September 17), which means they obviously were the talk of the Internet. The chatter first started after Teigen made a cringe-y face when the cameras panned to her and Legend during Colin Jost and Michael Che’s opening monologue. (It’s already spanned dozens of memes, naturally.) Then, Teigen roasted Legend on live television when they went to present an award. “We get it. You won the EGOT,” Teigen told Legend, which caused the audience to applaud. “Don’t encourage him.”
Legend and Teigen were delightful comedic reliefs during an awards show that seemed rather sluggish, especially in the latter half. But, apparently, not everyone was on board: A few people took to Twitter last night and threw some low-key shade at Teigen. “Chrissy Teigen is beautiful but does she have to be included in everything just because she’s married to John Legend?” one person wrote. The comment seemed to upset Teigen who tweeted, “breathe, chrissy” in response to it. But Legend came in hot with the clap-back: “A reporter who doesn’t know how to use Google. How sad,” he wrote.
Take a look at both Legend and Teigen’s tweets for yourself, below:

This isn’t the only insensitive comment Teigen had to deal with during the Emmys. “I’m asking this with the utmost respectful [sic], but is @chrissyteigen pregnant again?” a man wrote on Twitter in response to a photo of the couple at the Emmys. “I just had a baby but thank you for being soooo respectful,” Teigen said in response. Here’s a little reminder that making comments about someone’s body is never OK!

“man. you guys are brutal,” Teigen tweeted at the end of the night. That’s an understatement.

Here’s hoping the release of her second cookbook, Cravings: Hungry for More, brings some much-needed positivity to Teigen’s Tuesday.
