With a career dating back to the 1960s, Rod Stewart used his love for music and performing to sell over 120 million albums. His career took him far beyond album sales as he landed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Music Hall of Fame. In 2016, Stewart was even knighted for his contributions to music. But besides being a hitmaker, the singer also shared his love for his wife, Penny Lancaster. And apparently, Stewart had more than a few words for Gregg Wallace after the singer suggested the TV personality bullied his wife while on Celebrity MasterChef.

Having no room for bullies in his life, Stewart jumped on Instagram to discuss Lancaster appearing on the hit show back in 2021. “So Greg Wallace gets fired from Master Chef. Good Riddance Wallace … You humiliated my wife when she was on the show, but you had that part cut out didn’t you? You’re a tubby, bald-headed, ill-mannered bully. Karma got you.”
Signing the post, “Sir Rod Stewart”, fans filled the comment section with support. “I agree Rod, he comes across as a big headed greengrocer ! Shouting and pretending he’s a chef. Not good.. He’s an embarrassment!”

Rod Stewart Not The Only One Speaking Out Against Greg Wallace
While Wallace gained no love for Stewart, the host has more problems than trying to change the singer’s mind. Just this week, multiple outlets reported that the production company behind MasterChef launched an investigation after 13 individuals hurled accusations of sexual misconduct.
One of the accusers, Kirsty Wark, shared her story, explaining, “There were two occasions in particular where he used sexualized language in front of a number of people, and it wasn’t as if anyone engaged with this. It was completely one-way traffic, but I think people were uncomfortable, and [it was] something I didn’t really expect to happen.”
As the accusations stacked up and Stewart declared Wallace a “Bully”, the host remained on the defense as his lawyers criticized the allegations. “It is entirely false that he engages in behavior of a sexually harassing nature.”
