Teigen gets real about dealing with "stupid and mean" celebrities, her husband and the perks of fame.
Chrissy Teigen went on a Twitter spree on Sunday night, after a seemingly mundane question about having a junk drawer turned into a lengthy Q&A with her fans about the realities of being a celebrity.
Over the course of four hours -- with a break or two in there somewhere -- the "Lip Sync Battle" star responded to a ton of her followers, as they asked about everything from the paparazzi to her staff and famous friends.
It all began when someone on Twitter tagged Chrissy in a post asking, "Do celebrities have junk drawers where they throw random cords and pens? I feel like @chrissyteigen would but like @KimKardashian absolutely would not." Teigen proved the user right by sharing a photo of her junk drawer and adding, "It's celebrity question asking time! Ask me, your favorite A list celebrity anything you would like to know about being a huge A list celebrity."
The answers did not disappoint.
Chrissy on Other Celebrities
Teigen revealed some intel about what it's like to communicate with other famous people, as one herself.
During the Q&A, she said her interactions have run the gamut from incredibly pleasant to "shitty" and "stupid and mean" -- adding that one guest on "Lip Sync Battle" really "rubbed me in an extremely wrong way."
Sadly, she didn't name any names.
one person on lip sync battle rubbed me in an extremely wrong way 🤐 https://t.co/K7JVjlqLph

Honestly no! One time I met someone who seemed stupid and mean who turned out to be stupid and mean. https://t.co/7utIJO7KIg
@chrissyteigen
yes and then I send thank you flowers and then they send thank you for the flowers flowers and then I send thank you for the thank you for the thank you flowers https://t.co/spd6PDhAlv
@chrissyteigen
the bigger the celeb, the nicer. I've met a lot of borderline people who had super attitudes lol (but also a lot of shitty big celebs so I guess there is no clear path here) https://t.co/rYRckxDevf
@chrissyteigen
yes but no one really reads their own shit. and you don't wanna bring people down. unless it's a big garbage story, then you reach out to see if they're okay https://t.co/xwHjKaGS95
@chrissyteigen
sometimes I ask a publicist for someone's info to text but for the most part I don't talk to many people because I don't want them to think I'm a thirsty weirdo. https://t.co/h0rdo0EfBR

The Downside of Fame
A number of her followers wondered what it's like to attend some of the swanky events that come with being a celebrity, like award shows, gifting suites and other red carpets packed with journalists.
Teigen explained that she hates doing interviews out of fear of being "cancelled" for saying the wrong thing and believes award shows are "unbelievably boring."
Lol no. I sit around thinking how everyone hates me and is mad at me and how I'm about to be cancelled https://t.co/mcPj9uk8lr
@chrissyteigen
It's why I hate interviews. There are so many tones to everything, and you just pray it translates well. I'm also very long winded and talk a lot. It is the longest waiting game and I hate it. https://t.co/AwcCv8Lh8H
@chrissyteigen
no you start to know and have relationships with a lot of people. and I used to do them so I feel for them! it is NOT EASY https://t.co/ENVQXVeFqP
@chrissyteigen
unbelievably boring and you are pulled in 100 different directions and yelled at to sit down. the bar is never close to you and everyone is so mean to seat fillers, I dunno why anyone wants to do it https://t.co/U7tuzWTA0L

The Perks Aren't Too Shabby
In a surprise to absolutely nobody, Teigen also explained that being famous comes with some killer advantages.
Responding to a number of questions about the "perks" of being a celebrity, she revealed how her status comes with better airport and airplane interactions, restaurant reservations and more free stuff than she can keep up with.
As for the plus she feels more guilty about, she answered "money."
there is a terminal a mile from the airport that you pay membership for. they do the same security privately and take you to the plane in a car. I know. I know. https://t.co/BtFaTBaMKh
@chrissyteigen
I make reservations and don't give them the option to say no. "Hi it's Chrissy Teigen and id like to make a reservation for 2 for John legend, do you have any availability?" if you just say "hi can I make a reservation for 2?" they say no. gotta say it all at once https://t.co/31GsnRw3KJ
@chrissyteigen
no one gives my kids nasty looks on the plane. if anything, they're creepily nice and it is crazy unfair because they are just as annoying as other kids on a plane https://t.co/J1T1lpmNI2
@chrissyteigen
If there is, I don't know about it!! But I love a conspiracy theory. John still hasn't told me if he's Illuminati https://t.co/SWnlJ4vbBB
@chrissyteigen
Our counter is full every single day of random shit. I've thought about asking them to stop, but then I wouldn't be able to donate it. https://t.co/wjI2MexLVo

Her Team
Lastly, Teigen was extremely honest about the luxury of hiring help.
She explained that she considers her team -- which includes managers, agents, hair and makeup people -- people she's very close with. She added that they family has four, rotating nannies, a house manager and an assistant ... who does much of her holiday shopping.
A lot of my best friends are people I met on the creative side. My managers and agents and hair and makeup people, I'm very close with. But I also have best friends in New York who make fun of me all the time and it's great. https://t.co/bz4Drcf4bA
@chrissyteigen
We have 4 incredible people, not all at once. One will rotate and stay through the night. https://t.co/aSC4NB301H
@chrissyteigen
Yes. Rates, flights, baggage, hotel, agency fees https://t.co/B1LFMdXRJo
@chrissyteigen
We have a house manager who works at the house all day to handle our lives and day to day business, packages, scheduling for household staff etc https://t.co/LRMuOxzdLg
@chrissyteigen
I have a business accountant who handles everything and sends me summaries of my spending/income. I don't get mail. https://t.co/xHqSC4qfZk
@chrissyteigen
assistant does a lot but it's funny when it's the assistant's bday and you gotta go yourself https://t.co/XCQpFWowDX
