While many viewers tuned in to NBC’s Jesus Christ Superstar Live to watch John Legend, Sara Bareilles and Alice Cooper reenact one of the classics, others kept an eye on Twitter to watch the reactions of Legend’s wife, Chrissy Teigen, who live tweeted the entire event. Her last tweet of the night came in the form of a response to former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly.
“Watching JC Superstar on NBC. Who knew Jesus of Nazareth ran a tattoo parlor? Geez,” O’Reilly, 68, tweeted, referencing Legend’s tattoos. Teigen, 32, quickly fired back, retweeting the message and adding, “Yes the shop specializes in coverups that aren’t 32 million dollars.”
In October 2017, The New York Times reported that O’Reilly had settled a sexual harassment claim made by Fox News legal analyst Lis Wiehl for $32 million. Allegations included “a nonconsensual sexual relationship and the sending of gay pornography and other sexually explicit material.” O’Reilly denied all claims.
While O’Reilly felt the need to criticize the live performance, overall, the special received rave reviews – and some very entertaining tweets from Teigen, who also tweeted some behind-the-scenes tidbit, starting her night inside Legend’s trailer with their daughter, Luna. The little girl, who turns 2 years old in just two weeks, cuddled on the couch with her dad while listening to Kanye West’s “Jesus Walks.”
