Chrissy Teigen was trolled online after her appearance with husband John Legend at the Arsenal versus Ipswich Town game, at which she wore a Chelsea shirt
Chrissy Teigen has hit back at football fans who criticised her appearance at the Arsenal versus Ipswich Town Premier League match, at which she wore a Chelsea shirt.
The 39-year-old model and influencer attended the game with husband, singer John Legend, and their children but it was their interview to Prime Sport after the match which riled fans, who questioned why they were there and their knowledge of ‘the beautiful game’.
Chrissy didn’t take the criticism lightly and she took to her Instagram Stories to mock those who slammed her online. Lying in bed, Chrissy addresses the camera directly as she tells her followers: “I’m currently getting roasted for being the world’s biggest soccer fan. Everybody’s jealous because I’m the biggest fan and they’re not and they’re jealous that they’ll never be as bigger fan as me.”
She then added a second clip, in which she doubled down on her frustrations with the online critics. She said: “You know who the biggest ‘n**s and t***s’ are? The people who don’t like soccer as much as I do.” Just to show that she has her finger on the pulse of football, or soccer as it is known across the Atlantic, Chrissy then shared a throwback snap of herself in a football kit as she points out the word “Pro” at the top in the description. She said on the clip: “Does this look like the face of someone who doesn’t know soccer?”
During the opinion dividing interview, John Legend told the broadcaster: “This was so fun. This is our first Premier League game ever, and we’re here for the holidays. We’re having a great time. You know, my friends, I don’t know the league very well, and my friends were like, well, Arsenal is going to win by like, you know, six goals. But it was a closer match than we expected, closer than we thought.”
Chrissy then addressed her Chelsea connection, saying during the interview: “Listen, I love an underdog, and I love coming in and being surprised by how much a team can do and and I think it was so much fun for us to root for them, because everyone was on Arsenal side. Yeah, I wanted to really give them the support that they needed. When you said Chelsea, I was like, is Chelsea Ipswich? I don’t know.”
John added that they watch football in the Major League Soccer: “We go to some of the LA games, the soccer games, every once in a while. And this is, you know, this is where the real football has been played.”
Chrissy added: “We feel spoiled to get to be here, especially as people that don’t understand the game and the nuances as much as anybody else. So the fact that we get to be on the field…” John quickly added to Chrissy’s thoughts: “We love the songs. I was always I was listening. I was trying to figure out what everyone was singing the whole game. But I love how synced up everyone is.”
