Chrissy Teigen on the Yeezy-Swifty Beef 2.0: ‘It’s not over… this is being waged’

FFN_GG_TeigenLegend_030316_51986453

Here are some photos of Chrissy Teigen out and about last night in NYC. She’s in New York to do some promotional work on behalf of her cookbook, which is already pretty successful. Chrissy appeared on Watch What Happens Live this week, and some of the headlines were boring, like she was asked if she’s ever “taken a dip in the lady pond,” and Chrissy said “Oh! Maybe doggie paddled? Not full on swam.” But the best headline was definitely Chrissy talking about how she and John Legend have been “put in the middle” of the Kanye West-Taylor Swift Beef 2.0. If Chrissy is “in the middle,” then where’s Karlie Kloss?

Won’t anyone think of Chrissy Teigen?! The Lip Sync Battle host appeared on Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday and was asked what she thought of Taylor Swift dissing Kanye West at the GRAMMYs, seeing as Teigen is friends with both stars.

“Oh man, see, it’s so hard when you are put in the middle like that. It’s tough,” she said. “I didn’t get to see it live, but I don’t know. It’s so awkward. It’s an uncomfortable moment. John [Legend] and I were both uncomfortable by it.”

During her Album of the Year acceptance speech, Swift threw shade at West, saying, “There are going to be people along the way who try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments and your fame” — an obvious nod to Yeezy’s The Life of Pablo lyric about how he, “Made that b*tch famous.”

WWHL host Andy Cohen offered his opinion on the diss, explaining, “I thought, ‘Why give up your huge moment? You’re winning Record of the Year, why hand it over to this guy?'”

To which Teigen replied, “It’s not over. This is going to go on. This is being waged.”

Real question though: is Taylor Swift tight with Chrissy or John Legend? Like, they’re awards-show friendly, for sure. But has Chrissy ever met Meredith and Olivia? If the answer is no, then no, Chrissy is not in the middle of it. But I do agree that the Swifty-Yeezy Beef 2.0 is not over. Everyone is holding their breaths waiting for the next move.

Speaking of, I couldn’t work up the energy to write about the beef Kanye West was actually going through this week with Deadmau5. It actually wasn’t that scandalous (to me), because it seemed like high-profile performance art between Deadmau5 and Kanye – you can read a good recap here, and Kanye’s Deadmau5-trolling tweets are still up on his Twitter.

And finally, here are some photos of Kanye and Kris Jenner arriving in Paris this week. They went to the Balmain show together to watch Kendall walk the runway.

    Kanye always looks pissed off.

  2. Franny Days says:

    Those pants on Kanye!! I needed these images this morning. God bless.

  3. Alex says:

    I remember seeing pictures of Chrissy hanging out with Taylor but it was in the height of her girl squad days and it was with a group of other people.

    Karlie and Taylor totally broke up. They haven’t been seen together in forever. Doesn’t anyone find it odd that Taylor does this with her “friendships”? She’s super duper close with one girl and then they never speak again. She did it with Dianna Argon and now Karlie. Totally were actual relationships, not just friendships.

    • Abby says:

      Yesssssss I’ve thought about Karlie being out of the picture, too……same with Dianna. I’m most curious about Karlie, though, and what happened there.

    • The Eternal Side-Eye says:

      I know she’s still supposadly close with Lena Dunham and Lorde, but the constant photo-op days have passed. Guess they weren’t getting her enough likes on Instagram.

  4. Ohreallynow says:

    I guess I am getting old bc grown men in holey skinny jeans is actually gross. I am his age and can’t imagine anyone wearing those! Maybe some teenagers.

    • LisD says:

      This!^^^ How teenage-girl-in-the-80’s of Kanye! All he needs is his trapper keeper. Like, totally! (Vocal fry voice)

      • Tara says:

        Trapper Keepers were totally tubular. Kanye always looks like a self-conscious 12yearold in his standard cool guy pose.

  5. Rainbow says:

    Nice jeans Kanye lol

  6. Who ARE these people? says:

    Nice knees.

  7. Soprana says:

    Taylor/Kanye will go down as one of the biggest showbiz feuds of all time, along with Joan Crawford/Betty Davis, Elton John/Madonna, Letterman/Leno…

  8. kri says:

    Maybe that albino croc got in a few snaps before it became his disgusting wife’s purse.

  9. Lisa says:

    His desperate need for attention is so pathetic. Would it kill him to dress like an adult? God, I hope his kids never google him….so embarrassing.

  10. SugarQuill says:

    “I made it so we can wear tight jeans.”

    I will never not take advantage of the opportunity to post this gem.

  11. TheGrandSophy says:

    Those pants are horrendous!

    The holes aren’t even strategically placed. He looks like he got mauled by a rottweiler (or a bear).

    I don’t think they would look good on anyone.

    As for being put in the middle, please. Kanye makes his own problems. Taylor has the right to defend herself against the lewd rankings of a lunatic. I don’t see why that should make you feel uncomfortable. If you were a true friend, you’d tell Kanye to shut that sh*t down.

  12. lunchcoma says:

    God, Chrissy Tiegan is intolerable.

  13. lila fowler says:

    Why is she getting involved? What does the Swift/Kanye thing have to do with her?

    • PrincessMe says:

      Exactly. Simple response… “it has nothing to do with me”. Instead she’s acting like she’s best friends with both of them and is just soooo broken up about this because soon she’ll have to choose.

    • Kelly says:

      Yes to both. Why is she relevant anyways?

  14. The Eternal Side-Eye says:

    She has such a nice pregnancy face, not sure if that makes sense but she just seems so happy.

    Kanye looks like an idiot. No wonder his fashion line is so ugly, he has no sense of style.

    Kanye – 53 million in debt Kanye – got caught pirating software and then threw a bitch fit when Deadmau5 called him out on it. There that sums up the entire beef. He’s a hypocrite with the tolerance of a skinned chicken.

  15. dagdag says:

    Kanye West and his rags are disgusting and shameless..

    Rich people have the priviledge to look like homeless in $$$ homeless outfits and enjoy all their priviledge, while real homeless in real rags are denied basic rights.

    And most homeless are trying not to look homeless in rags.

    He looks like the fool he is.

  16. JFresh says:

    I like that coat Kris J. is wearing. Probably costs as much as my car tho.

  17. DiamondGirl says:

    He looks like he clawed his way out of a trap, but she caught him again.

  18. lheartgossip says:

    She desires attention to such a degree; she’s weighed in on and moved herself into; the middle of this mess. Honey. Please.

  19. jeanpierre says:

    Hahahaha I’m dead at the dead-mow-five thing. I always thought it was dead-mow-five for real. I read Kanye’s tweet and I was like “well yes”

  20. What's inside says:

    He thinks he looks good and I think he looks like a male stripper about to mount the pole. Chrissy and John disavowed Kanye over the Beck slam. I do not think they are all that tight anymore. As to her relationship with Taylor, I think it is practically nonexistent — different worlds and lifestyles. Who will win the battle? Taylor. She is a cat lady after all and has learned a thing or two with dealing with potential prey.

    Rich men dressing like they poor, oh ma gawd
