The tea is piping hot right now!
Megyn Kelly has brutally hit out at Chrissy Teigen yet again after the model's husband came to her defense earlier this week.
It all started when Kelly, 52, called out Teigen, 37, for the outfit she wore to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, DC, last week.
As per HuffPost, Kelly criticized Teigen for having "three minions" carry the train of her "nonexistent dress" as she slammed the entire look during an episode of her show on SiriusXM last month (April 29).
"I can see underwear, okay? I can see London, I see France, I see Chrissy’s underpants, which nobody shows underpants at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner," Kelly said.
However, on Thursday last week, the model's husband, singer-songwriter John Legend jumped to defend his wife after the host's scathing comments, stating that she just "likes attention."
According to TMZ's latest video release, the 'All Of Me' hitmaker said: "She [Kelly] needs it after she got fired from Fox," Legend said. "She has to do what she can do to get attention."
He continued: "She p***ed all the conservatives off when she asked Trump a tough question so now she’s trying to figure out a way to win 'em back.
"She’s desperate... She can just shut up," he added.
It seems as though the controversial commentator did not take well to Legend's comments and went in for round two with the superstar couple on Monday.
Taking to her self-titled SiriusXM podcast once again, Kelly said: "John Legend had some choice words for yours truly after I mocked his elitist, out-of-touch wife for having her minions carrying her 'train' to the White House Correspondents' Dinner while she was showing off her underwear."
After that she took the time to address each of the 44-year-old's points, starting off with saying that she had the "No. 2 news podcast" in the United States so she's "good on the audience, John."
She then went on to discuss how she was not in fact desperate for attention as Legend suggested.
"Sweet John, it must be so hard to live with that on your arm and in your bed every day and night and see anything else as you survey the women of this world," Kelly said before taking aim at Teigen for her 2020 hospital snap after she had suffered a tragic miscarriage at 20 weeks.
"When she takes photos of her abortion and treats it as a PR opp — something that should be the most private and intimate of moments in a couple’s life — it’s probably extremely uncomfortable," Kelly continued. "Oh wait, John Legend was there too, wasn’t he?
"He also thought that moment would make a great photo opp too, a chance to promote their 'brand,'" Kelly said. "How dare you lecture anyone on 'needing attention,' sir."
Check out what Kelly had to say:And it only got more intense as Kelly also dragged up Teigen's "long and dark history of treating people like excrement," clearly referring to to the scandal in which the model was forced to apologize to Courtney Stodden for taunting her, even going as far as telling her to end her own life.
"No need to reinvent the wheel here," Kelly said. "Chrissy Teigen is a sick, relentless, cruel, self-aggrandizing, needy, attention-starved bully."
"She deserves every bit of criticism she gets," she added before sending a clear warning: "And trust me, there’s plenty more in our arsenal if Mr. Legend would like to continue the argument."
Big yikes.
We'll just have to wait and see if Legend has a response, but until then, someone pass the popcorn!
