Through a series of tweets, Teigen voluntarily exposed her 22-year-old self, revealing she got jealous to the point of tears during the video shoot for “Green Light.”

Who doesn’t get a little green with jealousy from time to time? As fans celebrate the 10-year anniversary of John Legend’s song “Green Light” featuring André 3000, Chrissy Teigen decided to keep it real and share an entertaining story about a "jealousy-fueled meltdown" related to the video:

Fun fact, I had a jealously-fueled meltdown visiting this video set and made an asshole out of myself to a large group of people. https://t.co/SiE3h9aisY

Through a series of tweets, Teigen voluntarily exposed her 22-year-old self, revealing she got jealous to the point of tears during the “Green Light” shoot. It started when a group of dudes began teasing the model about how beautiful some of the women on set were. 

it began with our friends (john’s managers and co-writers and a couple others) talking about how BEAAAAAAUUUUTIFUL some of the women were...

...and they were! But in my mind they not only were talking about it, they were talking about it on purpose to rile me up. Looking back and knowing how well I know them now, THEY WERE DEFINITELY RILING ME UP AND GETTING A KICK OUT OF IT

I was watching the monitor with all the guys and someone, I can’t remember who, said, “ooooooo look at that girl with john ooooooooo!” so I watched the monitor like a psychotic (tarantula) hawk and in my mind, oh he was in trouble

Teigen had met her future husband two years earlier, during a different video shoot, for Legend’s “Stereo.” And yes, you can watch the fateful piece of art that brought everyone's favorite couple together:

The fact that Teigen and Legend met on a video shoot only further fueled her jealousy. “Keep in mind john and I met on a video,” she tweeted. “I was that girl! I know how this shit works!”

He probably laughed at something she said. And in my mind it was some GRAND conversation I was conjuring up. They were probably just talking about craft services honestly but in my mind she was like “hey we should bone” and he was like “haha fuck yeah!”

The story ends when Teigen left the shoot sobbing to the bemusement of everyone, including the director, Alan Ferguson, now married to Solange.

A few more shoulder touches and laughs with her later, I lost it. Anger turned to sobbing turned to fleeing the set and getting a hotel room. The director (ALAN FERGUSON!) was baffled. Everyone was.

The model/host has little to worry about in this area now. The couple has been married for five years and have two beautiful babies together. Still, Teigen warns, it’s probably better not to test her.

Anyhow I wish more happened but no. I was just a jealous, angry 22 year old. I’m better now. BUT DONT TEST ME
