Chrissy Teigen shares shocking racial encounter with photographer

Cape Town – Chrissy Teigen has shared her shocking encounter with a paparazzo at JFK airport on Thursday.

In a series of tweets the Lip Sync Battle co-host gives a detailed description of highly offensive remarks, aimed at black and Jewish people, made by a photographer.

Chrissy recalls how the pap approached her and asked her questions about cooking, to which she politely replied.

The photographer then reportedly did a complete 360 and started asking her racially charged questions, one of them including her husband John Legend.

The 38-year-old called the incident - which took place after Chrissy and John travelled from LA to NYC – “fucking disgusting” and also responded to a fan asking why she didn’t react immediately.

Chrissy simply said, “Nah. They live for that photo and lawsuit.”
