On Sunday, the South Korean filmParasitemade history at the2020 Academy Awardswhen it claimed both theInternational FeatureandBest Picturecategories — the first film to do so inthe Oscars‘ 92-year history.
Bong, 50, the creative mastermind behind the thriller, also took home honors for his writing and directing on the project, beating out prominent Hollywood filmmakers likeMartin ScorseseandQuentin Tarantinoin the process.
Some viewers online, however, expressed xenophobic takes on Bong’s genuine acceptance speeches, with one Twitter user going as far as to call him the “destruction of America.”
Enter Teigen, 34, who did not hold back when calling out the internet troll.

“What a dumb f—ing tool you are, your family is embarrassed. At gatherings they’re literally like ‘how’s Jon doing that little dumb f— tool’ and everyone goes ‘yeah we don’t care he’s a f—ing dumb s— – come say hi if you’re out tonight,” shewrote, quote-tweeting the derogatory tweet.
When one commenter took offense to Teigen’s “foul language” in her Twitter takedown and asked if she would read her posts to her children, the model and author had a quick comeback.
“I actually just got home and read it to them! they loved it, especially the sock puppets!” shejoked.
Teigen, of course, wasn’t buying it, instead jabbing back with a joke about the user rather gunning for aJokervictory atthe Oscars: “going as hard as your d— got watching joker,” shewrote.

While accepting his first award of the night,Best Original Screenplay, Bong thanked his family and rejoiced in the historical significance of the recognition.
“Thank you,” Bong said. “Writing a script is always such a lonely process. We never write to represent our countries. But this is a very first for South Korea.”
He added: “I thank my wife for always being an inspiration to me. I thank all the actors for bringing the film to life.”
When hereturned to the microphonefor the third time in the night, Bong shared his disbelief in the honor while expressing how much of a fan he is of the other Best Director nominees and their films.
“When I was young and studying cinema, there was a saying I that I carved deep into my heart, which was: ‘The most personal is the most creative,'” he said. “… Just to be nominated was a huge honor. I never thought I would win.”
