Musician John Legend and his pregnant supermodel wife Chrissy Teigen got bumped from their SoHo rental Friday amid claims the pricey property was an illegal short-term rental.
The couple was seen abruptly packing their belongings and vacating the premises after cops and city officials knocked on the door of the Sullivan St. home featured in one of Teigen’s Instagram posts Jan. 27.
Teigen, 32, who’s due in June, scurried out the door wearing a hooded bathrobe and furry slippers as her main defenses against the inclement weather.
A woman staying in the property’s basement apartment said police first knocked on her door early Friday, saying they were investigating a report of an illegal sublet.
“The cops were here earlier in the morning. They rang our bell and were knocking on the windows. They were inquiring about an illegal Airbnb,” Katherine Haddon, 39, a tourist from Boston who was visiting Manhattan with her husband and baby for the weekend, told the Daily News.
“They were asking how large the place we’re staying in is, its set-up and the number of bedrooms,” she said. “They had had a complaint from a neighbor.”
A spokeswoman for Airbnb said that while the building’s owner has rented properties with the company in the past, this time, the celebs did not use their service.
