You’re doing it wrong: Chrissy Teigen gives a tutorial on the correct pronunciation of ‘Teigen’

Sorry, Chrissy! It seems the world has been mispronouncing Chrissy Teigen’s name for so long she’s stopped trying to instruct them on how it should be said. “Gave up a long time ago. last name is tie-gen not tee-gen,” she tweeted over the weekend. In comments excerpted by E! News, fans caught wind of the tweet and pointed out Chrissy herself sometimes says her last name the way everyone else says it instead of “tie-gem.” “I know. I even correct people when they say it correctly. it’s all v effed up,” she added. “I don’t correct people, ever. They can call me Janet and I won’t. Wrong order? I’ll eat it. Taxi going to the wrong airport? I’ll change my flight.” She also posted a video showing herself saying “tie-gen.” Last month, Ariana Grande revealed to Apple’s Beats 1 she had a similar problem with people getting her last name wrong. “My grandparents said [Grandee]. My brother [Frankie Grande] kind of change it to [Grawnday] because [Grandee] was kind of like the Americanized version of it,” she said at the time. “I grew up saying [Grandee].” Ariana noted she’ll keep Grande when she marries her fiancé, Pete Davidson, because of her last name’s connection to her grandfather.
