Chrissy Teigen and John Legend shrugged off the photo booth backlash as they happily posed at JBL Fest in New York on Friday.
Earlier that week, a viral TikTok accused them of “kicking” a group of girls out of a photo booth so they could use it themselves.
The couple received furious backlash, with social media users labeling them “entitled” and asking, “Don’t they have like a billion photos of themselves?”
However, John, 45, and Chrissy, 38, seemed completely unmoved by the online uproar as they stepped out in New York on Friday night.
They shared a laugh and struck ridiculous poses for the camera that night at the JBL PartyBox series launch party, held at the PHD Rooftop Lounge in Manhattan.

Chrissy cut a glamorous figure at the party in an elegant white blazer dress that showed off her shapely legs as she hit the JBL Fest red carpet.
In a fashion style reminiscent of the 1980s, the outfit was decorated with a large black bow that featured sashes that fell to the floor.
Meanwhile, John opted for a more casual ensemble consisting of a pair of on-trend faded jeans, plus a striped sweater and a dark blue jacket.
Their last public appearance came just hours after they were fiercely criticized on social media for the since-deleted TikTok photo booth.
The encounter was claimed to have occurred at the Thursday night launch party for the Sports Illustrated 2024 Swimsuit Issue launch party.
Chrissy was one of the cover girls for the latest issue of the Swimsuit Issue, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.
In text about TikTok, obtained by TMZthe sign read: “John Legend and Chrissy Teigen kicked us out of the photo booth after waiting 30 minutes to take photos.”
The message was accompanied by a video showing John and Chrissy sneaking into a photo booth, while a group of girls appeared to continue using it.

Chrissy is currently undergoing a return to public life three years after her cyberbullying scandal, which torpedoed her career.
John’s voice could be heard off-screen saying, “We’ll sneak in if you don’t mind,” before he and Chrissy appeared in frame.
The girls agreed to leave the photo booth to make way for the celebrities, but evidently took some time to gather their belongings and print their photos.
Chrissy and John stayed behind them the entire time, she seemed increasingly impatient and he leaned in to whisper in her ear.
Several social media users were able to share their reactions to the TikTok video when it went viral, before it was removed from the platform.
‘Chrissy in a completely different universe’, while others marveled at: ‘The movement of the hand to move’, and one wrote simply: ‘the movement of the hand’ with a crying emoji.
‘Don’t they have like a billion pictures of themselves?’ wrote one exasperated viewer. “They probably have a booth at their house.”
Others commented that the girls should have refused to leave the photo booth, with one saying, “I would have said I actually care because what,” and another commenting, “That’s up to all of you because I personally would have stayed.” ‘
Chrissy is currently undergoing a return to public life three years after her cyberbullying scandal, in which she was accused of telling then-teenager Courtney Stodden via private message to commit suicide.
The encounter was claimed to have occurred at the Thursday night launch party for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2024 launch party (pictured).
The controversy erupted in 2021 and torpedoed Chrissy’s career, causing a number of brands to drop her, including Macy’s, Target, and Bloomingdales.
As outrage against her grew, Chrissy even pulled out of Safely, the cleaning supplies brand she founded with Kris Jenner.
Chrissy had posted a series of tweets about Courtney in 2011, when Courtney had just achieved notoriety as the ‘child bride’.
At just 16, Courtney married 50-year-old acting coach Doug Hutchinson, causing the couple to be met with furious opprobrium.
During that period, Chrissy posted several tweets attacking Courtney, including one that controversially told the teen to “go to sleep forever.”
Courtney later publicly alleged that the tweets didn’t tell the whole story, claiming that Chrissy would “text me privately and tell me to kill myself.”
Over the course of her 2021 cyberbullying scandal, Chrissy was also called out for several other insults she had hurled at celebrities on Twitter years earlier.
One of the offensive comments was a 2011 post in which he joked that Lindsay Lohan “adds a few more cuts to her wrists when she sees Emma Stone.”
Chrissy was also criticized for the fact that in 2013, she criticized nine-year-old Oscar nominee Quvenzhané Wallis as “arrogant” and Teen Mom’s Farrah Abraham as a “b****.”
