By If there’s one thing to know about Chrissy Teigen, it’s that she’s willing to go there. Whether it’s keeping it real about her relationship with John Legend or giving passionate speeches about immigration reform, she does not hold back. Especially around food. So it’s no surprise that for a recent YouTube interview, she ate wings topped with such spicy hot sauces, she had to go to the doctor afterward.
Teigen appeared on First We Feast's Hot Ones, an interview show in which both the subjects and the host, Sean Evans, eat increasingly spicy wings as the questions go on. Though Evans is used to it by now, the celebrities aren’t, and some of them wimp out after a few wings. That was not the case for Teigen.
Chrissy Teigen Cravings: Hungry for More
“I’m a wing freak, I’m a hot sauce freak, I’m a hot wing freak,” Teigen said at the beginning. “I feel like we’re gonna be okay, but who knows? I’ve seen some episodes.” She had a slight handicap, though, because the night before she ate so many salty Ruffles, her tongue felt “raw.”
But what really steered her wrong is how she ate the wings. She got full, so instead of taking a bite, she doused the wings in the sauce and licked the sauce off. That probably meant she consumed more sauce than normal wing-eaters on the show. And that led her to the doctor’s office the next day.
On September 21, Teigen tweeted, “I did Hot Ones yesterday. Now I’m at my throat doctor.”
She then responded to a fan, saying the hot sauce Da Bomb was the one that did her in, saying, “my tongue is literally ripped.”
“My eyebrows have gone rogue,” she tweeted at Evans. “My tongue is too large for my mouth.”
On October 4, when the video was released, she tweeted she also had to take CBD pills for two weeks to stop her eyebrows from constantly twitching. “But I’ve never had a better interview."
