While Teigen, the author, actress, and model, happily live tweeted the show, O’Reilly was less of a fan of the show’s modern take on the Biblical story. O’Reilly sent out a critical tweet about it, saying, “Watching JC Superstar on NBC. who knew Jesus of Nazareth ran a tattoo parlor? Geez.” > [](https://twitter.com/BillOReilly/status/980605864640950272) The commentary earned a swift and brutal comeback from Teigen, who remarked that the tattoo parlor in question “specializes in coverups that aren’t 32 million dollars.” > [](https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/980647950639562752) The tweet refers to the fact that O’Reilly left Fox News last year under a cloud of [sexual harassment allegations](http://time.com/4747075/bill-oreilly-fox-news-sexual-harassment-accusations/ "undefined"), and a[_New York Times_](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/21/business/media/bill-oreilly-sexual-harassment.html "undefined")[ story](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/21/business/media/bill-oreilly-sexual-harassment.html "undefined") that reported that O’Reilly paid a $32 million settlement to a former Fox News analyst after she accused him of sexual harassment. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5224589/chrissy-teigen-on-bill-oreilly/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5224589/chrissy-teigen-on-bill-oreilly/"},"headline":"Bill O'Reilly Wasn't a Fan of John Legend's Jesus Christ Superstar.
