'She needs it'
The EGOT winner went on to diss the former FOX News anchor. He said, "She needs it after she got fired from FOX. She has to do what she can do to get attention. She pissed all the conservatives off when she asked [Donald Trump] a tough question. So, now she's trying to figure out a way to win him back," as reported by Aceshowbiz.
John continued, saying that Megyn was "desperate" before urging her to "just shut up." Later, John made fun of Megyn's assertion that Chrissy displayed "elitist behavior" since three people were carrying her dress. John praised the 'Lip Sync Battle' co-host, calling her "kind," "lovely," and "down-to-earth" before the interview was done.
'We've gone from George Clooney to Chrissy Teigen'
In an episode of 'The Megyn Kelly Show' on SiriusXM, Megyn attacked Chrissy, who was wearing a flowing lilac gown with a dazzling corset waistline, a plunging neckline, and a high-slit skirt to the event, as reported by TMZ. Kelly said, "You know who they think is relevant? Chrissy Teigen. That's who they invited as their big star. We've gone from George Clooney to Chrissy Teigen, who showed up there like she was literally going to the coronation," as per reports.
After seeing a video of Chrissy entering the restaurant with her husband and three women holding the train of her dress, Kelly continued to disparage the mother of three, saying, "She has by my count three minions following her - that's minions in her view - following her, holding the dress or the train of her existent dress."
'I see Chrissy's underpants'
She went on to say , "I can see underwear, ok? I can see London, I see France, I see Chrissy's underpants. Nobody shows underpants at the White House Correspondents Dinner, okay Chrissy? They just don't do it. And nobody shows up with serfs to carry their train, which there shouldn't be on your White House Correspondents Dinner dress anyway because it's barely a formal event."
Kelly also claimed Chrissy's grand entrance was a picture of "everything wrong with the elitism… the self-importance, the aggrandizement of this fake, stupid event." She concluded, "It just tells you everything you need to know," as per reports.
