Way to miss the entire point of the show. buzzfeed.com/rachelbrodsky/…

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend went ALL OUT for a Squid Games party hosted at her house, hiring pricey party planners to turn their decadent mansion into the show's set. There was a maze staircase, bunk beds, and large piggy banks stuffed with cash.

And even Squid Game "guards" used as... waiters.

A lot of celebs were there, like Shay Mitchell, who posed on the bunk beds, as well as Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

However, the party is facing backlash and people were quick to point out that simply by hosting such a lavish party, Chrissy had missed the entire point of the show.

The premise of Squid Game is about debt-ridden people agreeing to play a deadly series of "games." The winner (who is the only survivor) gets the equivalent of about $40 million. It's all for the enjoyment of ultra-wealthy "VIPs" which is a portrait of wealth inequality.

So you can probably see why people think a super-wealthy celeb hosting an ultra-lavish Squid Game party looks tone-deaf. Maybe don't spend $$$ to cosplay a situation where lower-middle class people are forced to be brutally murdered for a slim chance of winning a cash prize.
