John Legend addressed wife Chrissy Teigen's neck injury concerns

While fans recently got concerned with Chrissy Teigen's seemingly serious neck injury, after she posted a few photos on her story, her husband John Legend addressed the same in an exclusive interview. In reference to the selfies posted on Instagram story on Monday, May 6, 2024, Legend said—

"She hurt her neck trying to be, like, an acrobat -- which she's not. Sometimes she's daring and she'll try things."

The singer further spoke about Luna, the couple's 8-year-old daughter, and said—

"I think may have been watching Luna too much. [Luna has] been doing like real gymnastics. But [Chrissy] got in her head that she could try this and it was not a good idea."

While fans expressed concerns regarding the injury, Legend confirmed that his wife has been doing quite fine currently. In one of the photos that she posted on her Instagram story, Teigen added—

"I tried to do a headstand."

Addressing her fans' concerns, Chrissy Teigen had previously stated that the injury wasn't as bad as it looked. She added that the brace was a CVS neck brace which was made to restrict her neck movement. She also spoke about fan speculations about her injury being the reason for her not attending the Met Gala 2024.

The author and model stated—

"This is not why I’m not at the Met. I was never going to the Met this year. Please. I’m so stupid for having made this a thing. I’m sorry."
