Fox News host Andrea Tantaros on Thursday criticized model Chrissy Teigen for a tweet about gun violence, suggesting that she just stick to modeling and Instagram.

Following reports that there was an active shooter in Ottawa, Canada, on Wednesday Teigen published a tweet commenting on gun violence in the U.S.

Teigen was criticized for the tweet and the panelists on Fox News’ “Outnumbered” said her timing was insensitive.

Tantaros said Teigen was just not smart enough to comment on the situation.

“Chrissy Tiegen is known for obviously her lovely bottom and her food Instagram pictures. She should stick to that. This is the problem when models start to talk; it plays into that dumb model stereotype,” Tantaros said.

“Because it’s too soon for her to weigh in and also conflate gun control and crime in America with a global war against radical Islamic jihadism,” the Fox host continued. “She clearly doesn’t know about the radical Islamic threat to the nation. She hasn’t educated herself, but when she does stuff like this you just gotta shake your head and say, ‘Really?'”

Teigen did not apologize for her tweet, but clarified to her intentions.

She also responded to some of the critics who commented on her career.
