Teigen, who was on deck at the Emmys to present an award during the ceremony alongside husband and [recent EGOT winner John Legend](http://time.com/5391734/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-egot-win/), took to her Twitter account during the busy night to clap back at a Twitter user who had the audacity to ask if Teigen was pregnant in response to a photo of her at the event. Teigen, who welcomed her second child with John Legend, son Miles Theodore in May responded as only she could. “I just had a baby but thank you for being soooo respectful,” she wrote.
