John Legend has threatened to sue a blogger for suggesting he and his wife Chrissy Teigen have connections to a pedophile ring.
Teigen was stunned when investigative writer Liz Crokin linked her and the singer to the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, taking to Twitter on Saturday to confess she was “pretty disturbed” by accusations.
Crokin posted photos of Legend and Teigen’s daughter, Luna, dressed as Alice in Wonderland, a hot dog and a pineapple, and suggested the couple was involved in the human trafficking ring.
“Apparently dressing my daughter as Alice in Wonderland and a hot dog and having a pizza emoji on Snapchat has to do with pizzagate and being uhhhh darksided,” the pregnant model wrote. “Holy s— That thread is wild…”
But Legend got legal, stating: “You need to take my family’s name out of your mouth before you get sued.”
The blogger, who claimed Teigen and Legend “run in circle with people who rape, torture & traffic kids”, backtracked, stating the couple “could be victims”, prompting an angry Teigen to protest: “Don’t backtrack now and say we ‘run with’ pedophiles. I am taking this FAR, Liz. Your s— ends here. I don’t care HOW you backtrack or WHAT you deleted. I have it ALL. I’m the last person you are f—— with. You are DONE with me and my family. You are going to court.”
The model and TV personality added: “It is INCREDIBLY weird to be two (semi) normal, ridiculously boring human beings who literally make food, watch tv and clean up dog barf in any kind of off time and then be suddenly accused of being in Hollywood’s hottest pedo ring.”
Pizzagate is a conspiracy theory surrounding human trafficking and child sex slaves in the U.S., linked to a number of restaurants. The theory has been extensively discredited by a number of lawmakers.
