Chrissy Teigen was forced to respond to worried fans who questioned why she wore a neck brace in her latest Instagram photos.
The 38-year-old took to her Stories on Monday and shared a snapshot of her looking uncomfortable while wearing her neck support, joking she was "@ the MET!!"
She shared a second photo taken from a lower angle, revealing she sustained an injury because she "tried to do a headstand".

"Oh, my God. I'm fine. I’m OK," she said in a clip on her Story. "It's a CVS neck brace," she continued.
"And I just can't rotate my neck ‘cause I tried to do a headstand and it didn't go well. That's all."
She added: "There's no story, I promise."
Chrissy also cleared up rumors that she skipped the 2024 Met Gala on Monday because of her botched headstand attempt. "This is not why I'm not at the Met," she said. "I was never going to the Met this year."

It doesn't appear to be Chrissy's nature to hide if something more serious is going on. She has been open about previous health struggles, and just last week she walked a red carpet displaying a red rash on her chest after struggling with her anxiety before an event.
Ahead of attending a screening of Netflix's A Man In Full at the Tudum Theater in Hollywood, Chrissy shared a photo of her "anxiety hives" on her Instagram Story.

Her inflamed chest was still evident as she posed for photos on the red carpet alongside her husband, John Legend.
Chrissy previously spoke of her anxiety struggles in an interview with Glamour. "I'll tell John, 'Deep down, I know I am happy.' But I think anyone with anxiety knows it's physically painful to think about doing things," she said.

Chrissy has battled with anxiety for most of her life, but it was after the birth of her first child, Luna, now eight, that she developed postpartum depression and realized she needed help.

She continued: "That’s why I put off getting it checked as I hated myself, not my child... John was there when the doctor gave the diagnosis and, of course, he already knew. I didn’t know it could sneak up so late or that it could happen to someone like me, where I have all the resources."
