She Moved into Rihanna’s Old Home

Chrissy and John moved into a new home with their daughter this year and their new L.A. pad was once home to Grammy Award-winning singer, Rihanna! The model sat down with Ellen Degeneres on The Ellen Show, where she talked about opening Rihanna’s fan mail. In her defense, she would have passed the mail onto Rihanna when they met at the Grammy Awards, but John was too embarrassed to let her do it! The funny part was that Chrissy didn’t even know it is a federal offense to open other people’s mail! When Ellen informed her of her crime, she got flustered and exclaimed “But it’s my house now! Can you not? Are we going to edit this?” Oh well! She didn’t know. And let’s face it, wouldn’t anyone be tempted to take a peek at Rihanna’s mail? Chrissy, who’s very active on social media and extremely vocal about her opinions on Twitter, spoke to Ellen about why she’s voting for Hillary Clinton. Take a look at the full clip below.
