Chrissy Teigen says she was fired by Forever 21 for being ‘fat’

Chrissy Teigen may be a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue favorite, but she claims there was a day when her figure was less well-received by Forever 21.

“They booked me directly when I was much younger. And I showed up on set, and they asked me if they could take a photo,” the 28-year-old supermodel told DuJour. “And they shoot that photo off to my agency, who then calls me as I’m sitting in the makeup chair. And they say, ‘You need to leave right now. They just said you are fat, and you need to come get your measurements taken.”

Although she was so offended by the unceremonious firing that she still holds a grudge against the retailer, Chrissy is willing to let another faux pas slide.

“A hotel in Los Angeles sold a story that John was at a hotel with what appeared to be a high-class hooker,” she said of her husband, John Legend. “It was me! It was horrible… High class, though. It was high class.”
