Chrissy Teigen is one of the most popular models in the game right now, but the supermodel is revealing that it hasn't always been that way.

The 28-year-old is revealing that she was actually turned away from modeling for Forever 21 when she was younger because she was "too fat." The model opens up in an interview with DuJour magazine saying that during a photo shoot for the fashion retailer she was told to leave for being too large.

"I showed up on set and they asked me if they could take a photo," John Legends girlfriend explains. "And they shoot that photo off to my agency, who then calls me as I'm sitting in the make-up chair, and they say, 'You need to leave right now. They just said that you are fat and you need to get your measurements taken."'

In looks like it was Forever's loss, as Chrissy has since gone on to pose for Vogue, Glamour, Esquire, and has even been featured in the Swimsuit Edition of Sports Illustrated.

However, It seems like the incident has been burned into Teigen's memory as she adds "And I hate you, Forever 21. I hate you so much. Honestly, you're the worst."

She also posted back in 2012 about the store on her Twitter page, saying, "So next time you pass a Forever 21, remember the fact that they are a bunch of a**holes who fired me mid-makeup for being fat."

Teigen has been praised for her healthy eating habits, especially when compared to the scary diets that exist in the fashion industry today. She has even signed on to host MTV's cooking show Snack-Off and also posts her favorite recipes to her blog, So Delushious.
