John Legend is always asked THIS rude query about Chrissy Teigen
Queen of social media, Chrissy Teigen, has raised a vitally valuable question about the differences of interviewing men and women.
The world has a pop culture fascination with Chrissy and her husband John Legend's relationship; they're both witty, socially aware and created ADORABLE children.
However, there's taking an interest in their family life, because they do share quite a lot with their following, but there's also taking questions way too far.
Chrissy revealed this week that John constantly gets asked, "How do you deal with your wife", and we are not happy.
I feel like a very common question when interviewing john is basically “how do you deal with your wife” and … I don’t love it.

She tweeted a thread about the type of questions her husband gets asked in interviews, and it just seems like some MAD double standards to us;
"I feel like a very common question when interviewing john is basically “how do you deal with your wife” and … I don’t love it." We wouldn't love it either, because she would never get asked how she deals with John.
She elaborated on the question and how she feels about it, and it's relatable as always.
It happens a lot. “does she ask you if certain things are okay to say?” …it’s just very weird to me.

"It happens a lot. “Does she ask you if certain things are okay to say?” …it’s just very weird to me," she said.

"No. He doesn’t. I don’t care. and he doesn’t care. End of question." she tweeted, continuing the thread. Shut that sh*t down, Chrissy. Asking how you "deal" with your wife implies that she's difficult to live with, and causes hassle in his career.
Chrissy has her own illustrious career, and yet never gets asked the same question about her husband.
he usually does the standard “no…she knows what she’s doing…” but it’s not even that. It’s just that I am a different human than him? It is theeeee most common question with him. Please stop.

"He usually does the standard “No…she knows what she’s doing…” but it’s not even that. It’s just that I am a different human than him? It is the most common question with him. Please stop."
Rightfully so, Chrissy said John usually shuts the question down fairly easily, but emphasised that she's actually a different person than him with her own life and goals, who isn't just tied to him while he goes out and earns.
I’m not mad at anyone who has asked this. I get that we are very different. It happens a lot though and I’m just not very into it. You don’t ask me how I deal with watching msnbc every night or what I do while he’s silent for a week

She concluded;
"I’m not mad at anyone who has asked this. I get that we are very different. It happens a lot though and I’m just not very into it. You don’t ask me how I deal with watching MSNBC every night or what I do while he’s silent for a week."
Damn straight, Chrissy. They're basically implying that she's mouthy and loud and controls the voice in the household, and how does he COPE with that as a husband?
Teigen isn't afraid of using her social media platform and sharing her opinions on mum-shaming, body-shaming, IVF, postpartum depression and the political situation in America right now.
Translation:
“How do you tolerate this mouthy broad you married?”

By asking John Legend but not Teigen about his coping mechanisms when it comes to his partner, the basic tone of the question is that it must be a hardship to be married to an outspoken woman, we think.
*Eye roll* The man has an EGOT (An Emmy, several Grammys, an Oscar and a Tony) and THAT'S the most common question he gets asked? How does it feel being married to an opinionated and thoughtful lady?
We can think of far more complex things to ask the hugely successful musician, to be honest, that don't involve the notion of a woman using her voice for empowerment. They're separate humans with separate careers, people.
