Not everyone loved "Jesus Christ Superstar Live!," but Chrissy Teigen was there to defend it on Twitter.
The NBC broadcast of the live musical, originally written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, aired Sunday night, to coincide with Easter. It starred John Legend, Teigen's husband, as Jesus, as well as Alice Cooper, Ben Daniels, and Sara Bareilles.
A few people badmouthed the musical because of Webber's interpretation of the Biblical story and because of Legend's and Teigen's involvement. And Chrissy Teigen hit back. When Bill O'Reilly made a joke about the show's portrayal of Jesus' workplace, she pointed out that O'Reilly reportedly struck $32 million in settlements paid to people he allegedly sexually harassed at his former job at Fox News.

To another critic, she sarcastically took the criticism in stride.
