The First Lady has been largely silent about the pandemic save for a few words of advice on how to prevent getting sick and passing the time during quarantine.
Recently, she deflected criticism for not doing enough in her latest tweet and encouraged everyone to, "Be Best"—a reference to her campaign focusing on advocating against online bullying.
"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"
The pictures accompanying her post included images of her wearing a hard hat and looking over the blueprints for a new tennis pavilion on the White House grounds.
But TV personality Chrissy Teigen, an outspoken Trump critic, scoffed at the former model's Twitter post with a series of profanity-laden tweets.
When it comes to panning the First Lady, especially during a time of global crisis, the author, model and Lip Sync Battle co-host did not mince words.
"Has melania even thought about doing something with her be best sh*t during these times?"
"I see regular a** awesome people on my timeline all day doing all they can to make people happy and this wifebot is working on whatever the f'k a tennis gazebo is."

Teigen continued by pointing out the failure of Trump's "Be Best" campaign.
She was not finished tearing into Trump.

Her tweets received mixed responses.
Trump fans leapt to the FLOTUS' defense.

Others thought that Teigen—a woman warrior and crusader for justice—slayed as usual.

This person thought Teigen went too far, but not in the way people would expect.

She even gained a new follower.

Some people can run but they cannot hide from Teigen's disapproval.
Unless, of course, they take refuge in a new tennis pavilion.
