A Cameroonian singer told The Sun Friday that model and Democratic activist Chrissy Teigen pushed her two times and grabbed her assistant’s phone from his hands at the 2016 Grammy Awards.

Dencia told The Sun that Teigen became aggressive over a misunderstanding, which entailed Teigen apparently thinking the singer’s assistant captured the model in a video he was recording of Dencia. The singer claims Teigen was nowhere in the shot.

“My assistant at the time took his phone out to record a video of me as I walked the carpet,” Dencia recalled. “Chrissy literally yanked his phone out of his hand and said, ‘Don’t record me!’”

“The singer insisted Chrissy, 35, wasn’t even in the phone’s view- and they didn’t even know who the model was at the time,” The Sun reported.

Then, the alleged shoving happened — twice:

Then, Dencia said, Chrissy- who was then pregnant- “pushed” her on her way to the red carpet.

Teigen was hit with widespread criticism last month over a bullying scandal concerning then-minor Courtney Stodden.

Teigen routinely targeted then-16-year-old Stodden with numerous nasty messages that included a “fantasy” of Stodden taking a “dirt nap.”

Stodden, whose mother troublingly signed off on her then-teen daughter’s marriage to a 50-year-old actor, told The Daily Beast that Teigen even sent her death threats via direct message.

“[Teigen] wouldn’t just publicly tweet about wanting me to take ‘a dirt nap’ but would privately DM me and tell me to kill myself,” Stodden said. “Things like, ‘I can’t wait for you to die.’”

In mid-May, Teigen publicly acknowledged her disturbing behavior and apologizing to Stodden. The apology, though, was not well-received by Stodden, who claimed it felt like Teigen was just trying to protect her brand. Stodden also disputed Teigen’s claim that she tried to privately reach out to her; Stodden emphasized her assertions by posting a screenshot showing that Teigen has blocked her on Twitter, apparently preventing a private, direct message conversation.

This week, the model published a lengthy Medium post apologizing for her past behavior.
