Fox News host Megyn Kelly launched a Twitter attack on photo and greeting card company Shutterfly on Thursday after it apparently failed to deliver her Christmas cards on time, an apparent scandal the media star dubbed “Christmascardgate”.
“Hey Shutterfly – thanks for lying for weeks about sending out our Christmas card order only to admit that it was all BS,” Kelly tweeted on Friday, including the hashtag “#notprofessional.”
Hey @Shutterfly– thanks for lying for weeks about sending out our Christmas card order only to admit today it was all B.S. #notprofessional

She followed that up with, “I will never use this service again. Lied right to us about our Xmas cards only to admit later they failed & covered it up.”

She went on to claim they she had never used Twitter to “publicly shame a company,” but that Shutterfly “deserved it.”
FWIW, I have never used twitter to publicly shame a company before in my life.@Shutterfly was so outrageously deceptive, they deserved it.

Kelly continued her tirade against the company by retweeting several other Twitter users’ complaints.
About four hours later, she reported Shutterfly was “working to resolve Christmascardgate,” and surmised she got a resolution merely because of her over 2.1 million Twitter followers, few of whom actually retweeted Kelly’s posts.
.Shutterfly now working to resolve Christmascardgate. Appreciate it, but hope others w/o Twitter presence can get same att'n.
