hello everyone I'm John I'm also known
as Chrissy Teigen strophe husband
sometimes Chrissy likes to take me out
in the town and show me off a little you
know nights like this one when people
are taking pictures I have a career in
the music business but we all know who
the star of the family is she's the
heart and soul of the family - I'm very
much in love with this woman I mean
obviously I guess she is my wife and she
is the mother of our daughter Luna and
our son miles but I'm not the only one
who loves her many millions of people
who are not married to her not related
to her they love her too everywhere I go
I meet people pants who used to ask me
for an autograph or tell me how much
they loved my music
now the number one comment I get from
people who used to be my fans is how
much they love Chrissie she gets bigger
cheers at my own concerts than I do they
love her people love her honesty her
humour her beauty and style her passion
for food her sense of adventure and fun
and they love her big beautiful heart
the heart she wears on her sleeve she
inspires so many people so many women I
mean really she's the kind of woman who
writes songs about have you heard any
songs about Chrissy Teigen before one of
them went to number one in the Billboard
charts but this is about Chrissy
sometimes social media feels like it's
going to be the death of our
civilization but it has not been a
complete fail hear me out here
the only good argument for the Internet
has been that if it were not for the
internet I think the world may have
missed out on Chrissy's awesomeness she
would have never fully shown the way she
does if she were filtered by publicist
and handlers I'm sorry Marissa
publicists are great magazines are
wonderful but Chrissy's social media
presence has allowed people to see her
her biggest impact may be the way that
she proves that just by being the person
you are being who you are
unapologetically you can make a
difference she's been named the mayor of
the internet by some she's been blocked
by the shittiest person on the Internet
I don't have to say his name if you
speak up about the things that you
believe in
whether it's immigrants rights
postpartum depression or the joys of
chicken pot pie
and if you do it authentically
and without presumption you can
enlightened other people you can
brighten people's day what a gift that
is and what a time to do it right now
when it's so important to amplify voices
of reason not shut them down in her
glamour profile she talked about a time
we were at this big event and she was
crying in a dressing room because she
felt so overwhelmed she was in such an
illustrious company we were celebrating
the time 100 and she felt like she
didn't belong like she didn't belong in
the company of people like Oprah and
Michelle Obama and Christine Lagarde
well I'm here to say that you belong
here and I think it's become very clear
to Glamour magazine it many millions of
people around the world that you're more
than worthy of this honor tonight I am
amazed by the woman that you've become
and I'm truly glad that the rest of the
world is fine found out about it -
please welcome 2018 glamour Woman of the
Year my woman the year every year
Chrissy Teigen

hi I was ready to be the light-hearted
one I'm like come up and just be funny
and then trot off but like honestly John
didn't cry when I gave birth I actually
you cried during Benjamin Button and
then you cried you cried for miles and
then something else
Oh Sesame Street something for Sesame
Street beautiful thank you so much
Wow so thank you first of all to Glamour
this is incredible like I said in the
video I I never thought I'd I'd I'd be
the kind of person that would win
anything I was used to seeing John do
and I was used to being on his arm and I
was excited to do that and I was excited
to support him and be there but this is
an honor and I am completely humbled by
it
because truly the lineup of people in
this room is incredible
it's embarrassing to sit here around
these people and when John was talking
about that event I'm actually mad at you
because I was gonna talk about the event
because it still sticks out in my mind
so much it was like a decade ago and I
had walked in to this incredible event
and just sat in this just around this
incredible table of these people that
were so amazing and so inspiring and
they were all doing something and we
were all asking each other what they did
except one was like Oprah and one was
like it was it was a crazy lineup and
when it got to me they said they asked
what I did and I said I didn't know and
I didn't know I'm sorry I didn't know
what I was going to do I didn't know
what I could be um and I just didn't
have a team behind me that I knew could
inspire me to do those kinds of things
now I have that team and I love you guys
so much please don't post this company
whatever do not ever show anyone the
cry or have emotion Joe poses but the
best part of the story that John left
out is that um when we back went
backstage and when I was in this crying
hissy fit before he during his warmups
I was sobbing and I was sobbing so so
hard and there was a knock on the door
and you hear hello and so I went and I
hid behind the door like an idiot
and Oprah walks in and she walks in with
all her glory and then he's trying to
push back the door correct am I correct
in saying this and she notices something
behind it and then she goes goodbye
because I was sobbing and I still to
this day have no idea what Oprah thinks
happened in that room or is wondering
why I was crying or has any clue about
it but that was a big turning point for
me that's when I realized I could be in
a room of people and just be inspired
and and I don't think you should ever
feel quite comfortable in a room like
this I think it's always good to look up
to people and to and to see the things
they're doing and to want to be your
better self and I promised I went to a
speech cuz viola is coming soon and I
know that viola is just going to give
the most incredible speech on the planet
but I will just I I wa I will end with
just talking about I joke about it a lot
but I truly have the most incredible
husband on the planet
[Applause]

made me a woman we've grown together our
family's grown together our careers
have grown together this is so sappy I'm
sorry I didn't cry during our wedding oh
I hate you John but you work so
tirelessly and so hard for the things
you believe in and you don't complain

babies they make me so happy to wake up
to them every single morning and you
were there you were there every single
night when I was nursing when I was
doing anything you were just so strong
and so good through actually glamour was
the first place to actually ever talk
about my the depressing story of
depression for me and you guys said it
so eloquently and so with so much
knowledge and compassion and love and
you just did it in a way where I didn't
know who else I could talk to you and
you guys did it so beautifully and to
this day I still get more comments on it
than anything else people come up to me
and they talk about that story and I
credit that to you guys for for making
it so beautiful and so so known and so
mainstream's thank you so much for for
getting that reach out to everybody but
John you were there for every bit of it
and you helped me through everything and
I just can't believe the life we've
created together and I'm so so happy and
