Lauren Sánchez brushed off Keith McNally’s vicious insults Tuesday with a pair of not-so-cryptic messages.
“People will love you. People will hate you. And none of it will have anything to do with you,” read a passage shared to the former entertainment reporter’s Instagram Story.
Sánchez, 54, also shared a quote from fashion designer Rachel Zoe that read, “Lead with kindness, cheer for those you love. Just honestly wish everyone the best.”
The helicopter pilot’s pointed Instagram posts came after the famed restaurateur, 72, randomly called her “revolting” in a social media post.
“Does anybody else find Jeff Bezos’ New wife [sic] – Lauren Sanchez – ABSOLUTELY REVOLTING? What an ugly and F–king SMUG – LOOKING couple they make,” McNally wrote on Instagram Monday.
“Is this what having 1000 Billion dollars does to people?”
Celebrities including Chrissy Teigen flooded McNally’s post with comments defending Sánchez.
“She’s actually incredibly dynamic, accomplished and kind,” the “Cravings” cookbook author wrote, “and everyone who knows her would say the same.”
MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle also chastised the Balthazar owner for his unprompted negative commentary.
“I think she’s accomplished, kind, smart and loved. Social media is fun, but this is not,” she wrote. “It is just mean for no reason.
“If we all took a breath and thought about what it feels like to be mocked and teased, we’d do a lot less of it.”
McNally has yet to address the blowback and instead shared two new posts, one of which was an announcement for his forthcoming memoir that’s appropriately titled, “I Regret Almost Everything.”
