The other day, Piers Morgan was just minding his business saying inflammatory things (opens in new tab) about Muhammad Ali, and decided to deliver this innocuous tweet to the world, all "what could go wrong?!"

I hope people don't make me sound too perfect when I die. No coats of sugar please.June 5, 2016

Unfortunately for Piers, John Legend was like "nope, nope, nope," and threw this giant pile of shade:

.@piersmorgan you could test us by announcing your retirement.June 5, 2016

Obviously, Chrissy Teigen had her husband's back, and delivered the perfect rebuttal when Piers tried to imply that modeling isn't a real job.

Naturally, Piers wasn't going to let himself be called a racist without putting up a fight, but Chrissy shut that down with a flawlessly executed Sixth Sense reference.

Piers then called Chrissy (opens in new tab) a "ludicrous swimwear accessory," but to be fair she called him (opens in new tab) an "unequivocal douche." Lesson learned? Never start a twitter fight with John Legend and Chrissy Teigen. You will lose.
