Chrissy Teigen and John Legend teamed up to troll Piers Morgan on Twitter after he commented about Muhammad Ali’s death.
“I hope people don’t make me sound too perfect when I die. No coats of sugar please,” he tweeted on Sunday, after the boxing legend passed away on Friday.
Legend didn’t seem too happy about the tweet, and shot back, “You could test us by announcing your retirement.”
At the same time, Legend’s wife tweeted, “from what? Trolling isn’t a job (I’ve tried).”
Morgan, who has proven he won’t back down from a game of wits, fired right back with a dig at her profession.
Maybe I should take up a proper job, like modelling? > RT @chrissyteigen: @johnlegend from what? trolling isn't a job (I've tried)

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.

Morgan then suggested Teigen and Legend read his “new column about Ali and racism,” because they “may learn something.”
But Teigen didn’t fold, and even claimed her newborn asked why Morgan was so “unequivocally douchy.”
Teigen is known for being extremely vocal on Twitter. She made headlines in November when she called Donald Trump a “twat” on the social media platform. Teigen also engaged in a full-scale Twitter feud with one particular user after expressing her support for Planned Parenthood following a deadly shooting in Colorado last November.

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.
