Chrissy Teigen unleashed a profanity-injected Twitter tirade on Melania Trump over what she perceived as the First Lady’s lack of due response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The model and TV personality tweeted whether Melania Trump had “even thought about doing something with her be best s--- during these times?”

Melania Trump, who launched her signature "Be Best" campaign to combat cyberbullying and opioid abuse when President Trump took office, tweeted earlier this month about the tennis pavillion under construction on the White House grounds, while encouraging her critics to "take time and contribute something good & productive in their own communities."
I encourage everyone who chooses to be negative & question my work at the @WhiteHouse to take time and contribute something good & productive in their own communities. #BeBest https://t.co/03sx0rq2Nx

Teigen, a frequent critic of Donald Trump and known for verbally sparring with him on Twitter, posted follow-up tweets, where she brought up the US president.
I expect Donald to be a do nothing f***ing loser wimp but she could maybe possibly try to uhhh BE BETTER possibly the best be the best the best be best.

Chrissy Teigen finished off her verbal assault on Melania Trump by tweeting she had not seen the First Lady do more than “gently touch Christmas ornaments in a cape."
ALL I have seen this bot do is gently touch Christmas ornaments in a cape and stare in a cape and pat statues in a different cape and then change her cape into a rude ass jacket. Fuck you

She can squint her eyes in five different languages. That should count for something.

However, not all fans on social media agreed with the TV personality’s use of profanity or verbal attack on the First Lady.
Um ..Chrissy..why are you ranting about Melania...many other things to rant about...a lot of more important things happening in the world...cursing and insulting the First Lady is not helpful or appropriate..

Amidst the coronavirus pandemic and stress of having to accept the new “social distancing” reality, with many forced to stay home to prevent the spread of COVID-19, musicians have been reaching out to fans, livestreaming at-home performances on their Instagram accounts.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin was the first to do so on Monday, with Grammy winner John Legend inspired to follow suit, joined at home by wife Chrissy Teigen, who sat on the piano in a towel seemingly enjoying some wine.
