Chrissy Teigen and her mom Vilailuck “Pepper Thai” Teigen are teaming up to topline Chrissy’s Court, a new comedy for Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman’s short-form video platform Quibi, from Teigen’s Suit & Thai Productions and 3 Arts Entertainment.
In each episode of Chrissy’s Court, Chrissy Teigen reigns supreme as the “judge” over one small claims case. The plaintiffs, defendants, and disputes are real, as Chrissy’s mom turned “bailiff”, Pepper Thai, maintains order in the courtroom. In this courtroom, Chrissy’s decisions are final and binding.
“When Cellino & Barnes broke up, I was devastated. I knew I had to take matters into my own hands. Here’s one jury duty you won’t want to miss,” said Teigen.
Chrissy’s Court is produced by Suit & Thai Productions and 3 Arts Entertainment. Chrissy Teigen and Luke Dillon serve as executive producers.
