For many viewers, NBC’s broadcast of Jesus Christ Superstar Live In Concert was the highlight of their Easter Sunday. Chrissy Teigen, whose husband John Legend portrayed the title character, experienced an added bonus that resulted from the revival of the 1970s rock opera: dragging former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly on Twitter.
In the midst of Teigen’s lighthearted live tweets, she took the opportunity to respond to some criticism of O’Reilly’s, in which he said, “Watching JC Superstar on NBC. Who knew Jesus of Nazareth ran a tattoo parlor? Geez.”

Teigen — who is so unabashedly opinionated on Twitter, President Trump has her blocked — came in hot with a characteristically sharp remark.

Teigen’s burn refers to the $32 million settlement O’Reilly paid a former Fox News analyst after she accused him of sexual harassment last year, as reported by the New York Times. O’Reilly resigned from Fox News surrounding the accusations, and Teigen still reigns as queen of Twitter comebacks.
