IN THE ERA of #LivingYourBestLie on social media, Chrissy Teigen is refreshingly candid.

Except perhaps with this baby-weight shedding post.
Today she whipped out a gas but embarrassing story about a “jealousy-fuelled meltdown” she had when she was 22-years-old and just a year into her relationship with John Legend.
The background context of the story is important.
Chrissy had met John in 2007 when she played his love interest for the music video of his song Stereo.
Whilst the pair hit if off straight away – Chrissy once said of their first meeting “I’m not going to lie. We hooked up [that night]” – their relationship was a slow burner instead of an instant roaring fire, with the pair taking a couple of months before getting serious.
So Chrissy knew how chemistry could be sparked on the set of a music video.
Fast forward a year later to 2008 and Chrissy is on the set of another music video for John. Except this time, she wasn’t playing his love interest.
She was watching behind the scenes as another beautiful model dance her way through sexy scenes with John.
Watching the monitor with her was John’s manager, some co-writers and some others who kept talking and winding her up about how ‘BEAAAAAAUUUUTIFUL’ some of the women were.
...and they were! But in my mind they not only were talking about it, they were talking about it on purpose to rile me up. Looking back and knowing how well I know them now, THEY WERE DEFINITELY RILING ME UP AND GETTING A KICK OUT OF IT
I was watching the monitor with all the guys and someone, I can’t remember who, said, “ooooooo look at that girl with john ooooooooo!” so I watched the monitor like a psychotic (tarantula) hawk and in my mind, oh he was in trouble
As she closely watched John and the model/dancer interact, Chrissy started making up conversations they were having in their head.
He probably laughed at something she said. And in my mind it was some GRAND conversation I was conjuring up. They were probably just talking about craft services honestly but in my mind she was like “hey we should bone” and he was like “haha fuck yeah!”
We all can relate to the pain of watching someone you absolutely adore, but are not secure with, hang out with someone else, making you wonder if you’re ‘enough’.
Also, none of us usually have to compete with drop-dead gorgeous models.
A few more shoulder touches and laughs with her later, I lost it. Anger turned to sobbing turned to fleeing the set and getting a hotel room. The director (ALAN FERGUSON!) was baffled. Everyone was.

Yikes!

Ugh, cringing for Chrissy.
All embarrassing stories eventually become the funniest ones to dine out on. Thanks for sharing, as always, Chrissy.
