Last week, John Legend’s wife Chrissy Teigen went off on Twitter blasting a paparazzi that made a racist joke about her husband. She tweeted:
“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”
Also, john is right next to me. The balls.

Now, the La La Land star is speaking out about the disgusting remark. He told “EXTRA” the incident was bizarre, but he kept calm to keep from falling into his trap.
“It was kind of surreal because he made this joke, basically insinuating that I was a monkey," John said. “As anyone black knows, we’ve dealt with that slur of us being called monkeys as a way of dehumanizing us and justifying racism, and he made a joke about it.”
He continued, "I think his intent was to try and get me to react on camera 'cause he had a video camera out and thought he could get me to react angrily and get some footage that he could sell, but we didn’t act angrily. We just got in the car and said, 'Did he just say what I think he said?’ It’s nasty to make a joke like that, but I try not to let it hurt me.”
Yes John! Don’t give them what they want.
