Chrissy Teigen definitely isn’t flying the friendly skies with Fox News.

“Lip Sync Battle” star Teigen ripped into Fox News on Monday, after Fox News published a story about her reaction to the much buzzed-about story about United Airlines barring girls from flying on a flight because their leggings didn’t comply with the airline’s dress code for company benefit travel.

Fox News quoted the reactions to the story from Teigen and company, citing a tweet published by Teigen on Sunday reading, “I have flown united before with literally no pants on. Just a top as a dress. Next time I will wear only jeans and a scarf.”

“@chrissyteigen speaks out against @united for banning girls from boarding their flight because they wore leggings,” Fox News tweeted Monday, with a link to the story.

The shout-out didn’t sit well with Teigen, who replied, “@FoxNews I respectfully ask you please don’t ever tag me in anything, ever. Words cannot explain how much I detest you.”

Reactions to Teigen’s respectful request varied. “Whitney” alum Chris D’Elia responded, “@chrissyteigen @FoxNews hahaha awesome.”

Not all responses were as amused, however, with another Twitter user replying, “Oh get a grip, Chrissy. You detest the truth? How many immigrants live in your houses? How many do you support? Joke.”
