Chrissy Teigen Says Our COVID Question About Masks Was a Trick – TMZ

Chrissy Teigen thinks she was being tricked by our photog, who asked if people at her XMAS celebration would be wearing masks, but the fact is … it’s a legit question in the middle of this pandemic, and the irony is — what she said is the exact right answer.

Chrissy tweeted, “TMZ just asked me if I’d be wearing a mask at my family Christmas and I said no? and now I feel like I’ve been tricked into a story about how I won’t wear a mask this Christmas. just know I am pro mask but don’t really wear one inside with my husband and kids I guess?”

There’s no trickery … Chrissy made it clear, she’ll only have 8 folks around the table for Christmas dinner, and everyone is vaccinated except Miles, who is only 3. Now it’s true … with the Omicron variant even fully vaccinated people may be spreaders — especially if they haven’t been boosted — and she wasn’t specific about that. Nevertheless, there’s no hard-and-fast rule if everyone’s vaccinated except a small child — a lot depends on testing and how careful the others have been.

Fact is — Chrissy’s an influencer, so what she does will register with others, and she made it clear the only ones who were invited are immediate fam and everyone who can get vaccinated did.
