File under things we can't believe are still happening: a paparazzo made a racist comment about John Legend to Chrissy Teigen while the duo was at the airport Thursday, morning and she's NOT here for it.
As usual, Chrissy wasn't afraid to clap back, and told the whole story via Twitter. Apparently, the couple was greeted by the usual sea of paparazzi when their flight from Los Angeles landed at JFK Airport in New York City. However, one photographer in particular took things from zero to 100 real quick by going from asking Teigen cooking questions, to making a racist comment about her husband.
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

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

To make matters worse (if that's even possible?), John was apparently standing right next to her as the photographer asked her the disgusting question.
Also, john is right next to me. The balls.

One fan even suggested, "you should've dragged 'em sis," to which Teigen responded, "Nah, they live for that photo and lawsuit." Fair enough.
Nah. They live for that photo and lawsuit. https://t.co/EE6DlhnjfJ

Fortunately, we trust Chrissy handled the situation in a way that only her kickass self could when she realized her kindness was being taken advantage of. (Even though she was clearly tempted to "lose it," as she tweeted.) Unfortunately (for the photographer anyways), we're guessing he might be out of a job pretty quickly.
