Chrissy Teigen Furious At Photographer’s Racist John Legend Question

Chrissy Teigen has been left furious after a paparazzi photographer attempted to get a rise out of her by asking a racist question about her husband, musician John Legend. 

Shouting gross insults at celebrities is one of the oldest tricks in the paparazzi playbook, but that doesn’t mean it makes you less of a shitstain when you try it on, as a snapper at JFK International Airport did. 

“Paparazzi at JFK just asked me ‘if we evolved from monkeys, why is John Legend still around?’” Teigen said on Twitter after the encounter. “And people wonder why celebs lose it in pics.”

Teigen had been answering questions about her cook book when the photographer came out with the “fucking disgusting” question seemingly out of nowhere.

Per Teigen’s version of events, the photographer tried it on a number of times. “He also went from ‘what’s an easy recipe to make at home’ to ‘if a Jew were a vampire, would he still be afraid of crosses?’” she said. 

To cap it all off, Tiegen said that her husband John Legend was standing right next to her when the questions were being asked. “The balls”, she wrote. 

The pair apparently kept their cool through the encounter,but the identity of the photographer is not yet known. “Guess we’ll find him when he puts the video out. That he edits the shit out of since he didn’t get clocked,” she said.
