On Thursday, everyone's favourite celeb couple, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, flew from Los Angeles to New York City, as celebrities often do.
And, because she's the uncontested queen of Twitter, Chrissy passed the time by keeping her 3 and a half million followers updated on the onboard snacks and movies.
I love airplane food. I want to review airplane food for a living.
Just a heads up that the LAX American Airlines terminal changed their food truck from Kogi to "Grilled Cheese Please"
But when they arrived in New York, Chrissy tweeted that she and John had been met by paparazzi, one of whom began harassing them with racist comments.
"Paparazzi at JFK just asked me 'if we evolved from monkeys, why is John Legend still around?'", Chrissy tweeted. She went on to call the comments "fucking disgusting".
Paparazzi at JFK just asked me "if we evolved from monkeys, why is John Legend still around?" - and people wonder why celebs lose it in pics
I was very kind. Answered cooking questions, then he came with that. Fucking disgusting.
Also, john is right next to me. The balls.
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?"
People on Twitter were quick to condemn the racist comments, and praised Chrissy for how she handled the situation.
@chrissyteigen What kind of racist BS is that mess?? What publication was he from? Time to out this fool.
@chrissyteigen Cheap, transparent, racist, pathetic attempt to get a rise out of you to sell to TMZ.Kama is swift,his punishment is his life
@chrissyteigen oh my god. well let me add to the much needed positivity and say that you and your family are amazing people
But when someone suggested she fight back, Chrissy reminded them that's exactly what the photographer wanted.
And she pointed out that, if the photographer ever wants to sell the video, it'll be pretty easy to identify him.
Guess we'll find him when he puts the video out. That he edits the shit out of since he didn't get clocked.
Well handled, Chrissy. 💖
