On Christmas, Chrissy Teigen uploaded a video on her Instagram as a prank, the content of which showed husband John Legend jokingly grabbing her by the throat. The joke did not catch on with her followers however and Teigen removed the video prank from her account shortly after posting it without much of an explanation.

In the clip, Chrissy Teigen is shown greeting her devoted fans a happy holiday before she started play-fighting with singer John Legend as a prank. Teigen pretended to appear flustered and distressed as her singer husband playfully wrapped a hand around the "Model Employee" presenter's throat.

Chrissy Teigen is known for her outspoken, unabashed tweets and opinionated nature. In a past issue, the presenter once viciously defended her own stand after getting slammed for calling Farrah Abraham "a w***e."

People on Twitter came in droves, slamming Teigen for her comment to which the model replied, "Are we really gonna pretend like this girl just had an accidentally leaked sex tape? seriously?? what the f**k is wrong with you? ladies: you aren't a super feminist for okaying super w***es. you don't need to defend EVERYone with a vagina." 

She pointed out that she did not say anything untrue and there was no need to slam someone for saying her opinion, especially when it was in fact true and had solid proof. 

Chrissy Teigen had also once been involved with fans of singer Chris Brown for making critical comments regarding his performance. Husband John Legend quickly answered the backlash his wife got, coming into Chrissy Teigen's defense, replying, "Don't ever tell me to put my 'b***h on a leash.' She's a grown woman with her own mind and her own opinions and this is not 1950." 

Teigen and Legend have not yet made any move to explain or clarify the video prank which seemed to have made light of the domestic violence and abuse issue.
