Social Media Reactions TikTok Duo Awkward Encounter Chrissy Teigen John Legend

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend cause controversy at Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue launch party after photo booth encounter with guests.

The launch party for the 2024 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue was a star-studded event filled with glitz and glamour at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York. However, the night took an unexpected turn when three women had an uncomfortable encounter with Chrissy Teigen and John Legend.

The incident unfolded at a photo booth during the party, where the three women, including TikTok stars Vicky and Winta Zesu, were posing for pictures. An unknown man outside the video can be heard saying, "We're gonna sneak in if you don't mind," before Chrissy and John entered the photo booth behind the women.

As the trio started to walk away to make room, one woman stayed behind to send herself a copy of the images. Despite Chrissy and John's patience, the TV personality appeared visibly annoyed, with John leaning in to comfort his wife, who seemed uncomfortable as the woman continued to operate the photo machine.

After the video was posted online and later deleted, social media users quickly reacted to the moment. Some accused the TikTok duo of exaggerating with the caption "John Legend & Chrissy Teigen just kicked us out of the photo booth after we waited 30 minutes to get pics," while others criticized the couple for their alleged rude behavior.

The incident sparked a debate online, with some defending Chrissy and John, while others condemned their actions. The encounter at the party highlighted the challenges celebrities face in balancing their privacy and public image, showing that even in moments of frustration, their actions are under constant scrutiny.
