Chrissy Teigen proves time and time again that at the end of the day, she’s just like all of us. Whether it’s parenting her two children, having weird food cravings at random moments of the day, or her relationship with John Legend–Chrissy Teigen is seriously just your average woman.
Recently, the model and TV show host revealed that when she was first dating John, she had an epic meltdown on set when watching him dance with another woman while filming a music video. I mean, I feel like it’s safe to say most women feel some type of away when they see their man dancing with another female.
The throwback story stemmed from the 10-year anniversary of John’s song “Green Light,” which, we know isn’t his best–but we forgive him.

Teigen responded saying that she had a “jealously-fueled meltdown” while visiting the video set and made an a**hole out of herself.
Fun fact, I had a jealously-fueled meltdown visiting this video set and made an asshole out of myself to a large group of people. https://t.co/SiE3h9aisY

People were obviously curious about what went down.
Oh you want to know more, do you? Let me try to remember. 10 years is a long time!

So, Chrissy asked John to help her refresh her memory.
Ok after a brief refresh with john, I have pieced together small bits of information

Here’s how it went down:
it began with our friends (john’s managers and co-writers and a couple others) talking about how BEAAAAAAUUUUTIFUL some of the women were…

Seems like the same thing any of our boyfriend’s friends would do.
…and they were! But in my mind they not only were talking about it, they were talking about it on purpose to rile me up. Looking back and knowing how well I know them now, THEY WERE DEFINITELY RILING ME UP AND GETTING A KICK OUT OF IT

Relatable.
I was watching the monitor with all the guys and someone, I can’t remember who, said, “ooooooo look at that girl with john ooooooooo!” so I watched the monitor like a psychotic (tarantula) hawk and in my mind, oh he was in trouble

I mean–don’t you remember that music video??
Plus, Chrissy knows how it feels to be the “music video girl” to fall for the singer…I mean…
Keep in mind john and I met on a video. I was that girl! I know how this shit works!

And, she did the whole “overthinking” bit we all do.
He probably laughed at something she said. And in my mind it was some GRAND conversation I was conjuring up. They were probably just talking about craft services honestly but in my mind she was like “hey we should bone” and he was like “haha fuck yeah!”

So, typically, she caused a scene.
A few more shoulder touches and laughs with her later, I lost it. Anger turned to sobbing turned to fleeing the set and getting a hotel room. The director (ALAN FERGUSON!) was baffled. Everyone was.

But, like many of us, we learn from our past mistakes.
Anyhow I wish more happened but no. I was just a jealous, angry 22 year old. I’m better now. BUT DONT TEST ME

What a boring story. Happy anniversary, Green Light video!!!
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) July 30, 2018
In all honesty, Twitter didn’t find it boring–in fact, they thought it was hella relatable.
We’ve all been that girl

That’s not boring – you’ve just helped thousands of people who never ever feel good enough more than I think you will ever begin to realise! Thank you Chrissy.

I love your honesty. Who hasn’t behaved badly at some point?!

You have just spoken for every crazy 22 year old inside us all who has done the same. It’s why we love you ?
