John Legend is speaking out after he was called a monkey by a paparazzo while walking through the airport with his wife Chrissy Teigen.

Chrissy has already tweeted about the experience and John talked about what happened during a visit to the Variety Studio presented by Orville Redenbacher’s at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival on Saturday (January 21) in Park City, Utah.

“We were right next to each other and we looked at each other like, ‘Did he really just say that?’” John said. “And he really said it. He basically called me a monkey.”

“Black folks have had to deal with being called monkeys for a long time and dehumanization has always been a method of racism and subjugation of black people,” John added. “That’s just part of American history and it’s part of the present, apparently. We saw it with the former president, Obama, whenever people wanted to discount him or discount his wife, they compared them to apes. And we’ve seen that frequently.”

“You know, I’m not hurt by someone saying that to me because I’m smarter, I’m stronger,” John said. “I look down on that person that would say something like that, but it’s a shame that still exists.”

Jon Hamm lets out a laugh while speaking on stage at the Cinema Cafe at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival on Saturday (January 21) in Park City, Utah.

The 45-year-old actor was joined by actor Sam Elliott, who was promoting his movie The Hero.

The day before, Jon attended The Hollywood Reporter and Sundance TV’s kickoff party and also J Crew, Vulture, and New York Magazine‘s party to celebrate the movie Person to Person at Rock & Reilly’s. He mingled with Samira Wiley at the latter event.

Jon is at the festival to promote his movie Marjorie Prime, in which he plays a hologram. The hologram will be brought to the festival, where it will debut at the film’s after party on Monday night!

“It is amazing to experience the future in the here and now,” the movie’s producer Uri Singer told THR. “When we first started working on the movie, the script dictated that the holograms would be portrayed as a futuristic reality. Making an actual hologram, not only on film but one that can be experienced with VR/AR, attests to how present the future has become.”

The first big deal just happened at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival and it was for producer Judd Apatow‘s new movie The Big Sick!

The filmmaker produced the film, starring Holly Hunter, Kumail Nanjiani, Ray Romano, and Zoe Kazan.

Holly, Kumail, and Ray were all at the premiere for the movie on Friday (January 20) during day one of the festival in Park City, Utah.

Judd‘s wife Leslie Mann and daughter Iris Apatow were also there, as well as Kumail‘s co-screenwriter Emily Gordon.

Amazon Studios is reportedly buying the rights to The Big Sick for $12 million, according to Deadline.

Riley Keough is all smiles at the premiere of her movie The Discovery during day two of the 2017 Sundance Film Festival on Friday (January 20) at Eccles Center Theatre in Park City, Utah.

The 27-year-old actress made a political statement by wearing a “Make America Native Again” hat, which was designed in the style of President Trump‘s “Make America Great Again” campaign hats.

Riley was joined at the premiere by co-stars Rooney Mara, Jason Segel, and Ron Canada, as well as writer/director Charlie McDowell.

If you didn’t know, Rooney and Charlie are a couple and he brought along his mom Mary Steenburgen and step-dad Ted Danson to attend the premiere.
