Chrissy Teigen says we’ve been mispronouncing her last name this whole time

Late on Sunday night, Chrissy Teigen candidly revealed to fans that we've all been mispronouncing her last name. In reply to a user who somehow knew that we've been saying her name wrong, Teigen wrote "Word! gave up a long time ago. Last name is tie-gen not tee-gen."

The apparently earth-shaking news proceeded to drive fans into a full-fledged debate over Teigen's last name, which then caused the model to upload a video calling upon her mother to cosign the information. "I'm tired of living this lie," she said. "It's Tie-gen. Isn't it, mom?" To which Teigen's mother, — from somewhere in the background — loudly replied, "Yep!"

When asked why she didn't reveal this sooner, Teigen said that she doesn't really correct people. "I don't correct people, ever. They can call me Janet and I won't," she wrote.
