“You’re all just gonna think that I got lip fillers but I didn’t get lip fillers between last night and now,” she said.

The 35-year-old wife of John Legend made a guess that she was reacting to an orange she had bitten into.

“I bit an orange to try to open it and I think there must have been like a pesticide or something on it,” she said.

“Oh, it’s like hard,” she said.

“Look how bouncy it is!” she giggled while flicking her bottom lip.

In a later post, she said, “I feel like it’s getting bigger.”

Chrissy posted again later saying that the swelling hadn’t gone down. Picture: Instagram
