It may have come to your attention that Piers Morgan has some ~opinions~ about Muhammad Ali.
Muhammad Ali said far more inflammatory/racist things about white people than Donald Trump ever has about Muslims. #fact
Why sugar-coat what Ali said or stood for? He never did that to himself, or when speaking of others.
I hope people don't make me sound too perfect when I die. No coats of sugar please.
So many ~opinions~, in fact, that his tweets prompted a reaction from John Legend and his wife, Chrissy Teigen.
@johnlegend from what? trolling isn't a job (I've tried)
And lo, the beef had begun. Morgan patronised Teigen for being a model...
Maybe I should take up a proper job, like modelling? > RT @chrissyteigen: @johnlegend from what? trolling isn't a job (I've tried)
...which prompted this clapback.
@piersmorgan it keeps me nice and not-racist so sure, give it a go.
Into round two and Teigen is floating like a butterfly...
I'm not racist either, so that makes two of us. > RT @chrissyteigen: @piersmorgan it keeps me nice and not-racist so sure, give it a go.
...and stinging like a bee.
@piersmorgan remember when Bruce Willis didn't know he was dead? It's like that.
Cue inevitable plug for Piers' writing.
You may want to read my new column about Ali & racism, @johnlegend @chrissyteigen -you may learn something.
Which was, needless to say, shot down.
@johnlegend @piersmorgan sorry can't read, just a modell doing modelling
Round three and Teigen started laying into Morgan with a series of powerful subtweets to the body.
troll recognize troll.
I can't tweet him anymore. He has fans somehow and they...they aren't quite "all there", as they say.
my newborn just looked up at me and said "mommy, why is piers morgan so unequivocally douchy?" i didn't know what to say
This has become a bruising, exhausting encounter.
My 4 kids all just looked at me and said: 'Daddy, who's Chrissy Teigen?' https://t.co/vCCEDh6lzq
Piers Morgan searches his name every 4.8 seconds.
It was at this point the bell finally rang, and most viewers felt it was a points victory for Legend and Teigen.
Hi, Piers. I know you're reading this. You unequivocal douche.
And that is the story of John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, and Piers Morgan's 2016 Twitter beef.
Hi Chrissy. No I'm not, you ludicrous swimwear accessory. https://t.co/3gfelyEyzC
