John Legend says wife Chrissy Teigen is doing ‘great’ despite cyberbullying scandal

Although Chrissy Teigen is in the midst of a cyberbullying scandal, her husband says she’s weathering the storm.

“She’s doing great,” John Legend told a paparazzo when asked how his wife (since 2013) is handling all the criticism.

“Take care,” the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award winner added before driving away from reporters Wednesday. “Have a good one.”

Teigen, 35, initially faced backlash after now-26-year-old non-binary star Courtney Stodden revealed she once sent them private messages encouraging the then-16-year-old to kill themselves.

On Monday, the former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model posted an open letter, expressing her regret over those past tweets and asked fans for “patience.”

The “Cravings” cookbook author wrote that there are “more than just a few” people she needs to publicly apologize to and has been reaching out to some of the people she was mean to privately.

Her loving spouse supported her by tweeting it from his verified Twitter account and highlighting a line she wrote which said, “We are all more than our worst moments.”

Soon after, “Project Runway” alum Michael Costello accused Teigen of bullying him in 2014, forcing him to deal with “deep, unhealed trauma.”

The designer alleges that Teigen accused him of being a racist based on what he said was a “photoshopped comment” that he said has since been proven to be false and taken down.

Teigen has yet to publicly address Costello’s allegations.
