By now it should be well-established that Chrissy Teigen does not take any sh*t, whether it's from mommy-shamers, internet trolls, or racists. On Thursday, the model and cookbook author tweeted about an awful encounter that she and husband John Legend had with a photographer after touching down in NYC.
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

She followed up with more.
I was very kind. Answered cooking questions, then he came with that. Fucking disgusting.

Guess we'll find him when he puts the video out. That he edits the shit out of since he didn't get clocked.

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?"

Chrissy and John's incident was horrible and disgusting, and their legion of fans came through to quickly offer support — and a few laughs — via Twitter.
