MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski is spilling the details on her chin 'tweak' that she and fiance Joe Scarborough say the president knew was not a facelift because he asked her about it repeatedly - and wanted the name of her doctor.

Brzezinski says she told Melania Trump about the procedure to her 'turkey neck' when she Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough stopped by the president's Palm Beach Club on New Year's Eve.

'The irony of it all is that Donald kept saying, "That’s incredible. You can’t even tell? Who did it? Who did it?’ He kept asking for the name of the doctor. He literally asked 10 times. "Is he down here? Who is he?" 'Scarborough told Vanity Fair.

The couple allowed the news magazine to shadow them this morning as they went to battle with Trump on air.

Partners in the TV business, and soon, in life, Scarborough and Brzezinski spent a half-hour on the news network that employees them dissecting their relationship with the president, his mental health and the threat of a National Enquirer article that they described in terms tantamount to extortion.

It all began, publicly at least, when Trump responded to their negative coverage on Thursday with tweets that claimed Scarborough and Brzezinski showed up at his Palm Beach property uninvited.

'I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came....to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!''

Brzezinski told Vanity Fair in an off-camera interview that she laughed when she read Trump's tweets attacking her on Thursday.

'I said, "Guys! What did he tweet?" Willie showed me, and I started laughing, and said, "S***. I kind of wanted to keep that to myself,’ " she said of her chin 'tweak'.

In a Washington Post op-ed that posted to the publication's website early Friday morning, Brzezinski and Scarborough acknowledged she had a procedure but argued it was not a facelift, as Trump had charged.

'She did have a little skin under her chin tweaked, but this was hardly a state secret. Her mother suggested she do so, and all those around her were aware of this mundane fact,' they wrote.

Brzezinski says she and Scarborough met privately with Trump and his wife in a bedroom and were led out through a party on the property.

'Talk about facelifts - woah, Palm Beach!' she said.

The 50-year-old television host proudly talked about her chin tuck and declared: 'It looks awesome.'

Dishing to Vanity Fair, she said, 'I had a turkey neck. My mom told me to get it done.'

'I was FaceTiming all my friends, telling them to get it done, that it wasn’t so bad.'

Scarborough says their staff was 'spooked' after the president's attack on them, and they had to tell their colleagues they were OK.

Instead of leaving Thursday evening for vacation, they appeared on the program for a 30-minute segment with no commercial breaks on Friday that lasted three times as long as expected, according to Vanity Fair's profile of Scarborough and Brzezinski on Friday.

Once, when they were feuding with Trump in the past, after he revealed that they were dating on Twitter before their relationship was public, Jared Kushner, the president's senior advisor and son-in-law, set a mediation between them.

Trump apologized in the meeting, they told Vanity Fair.

'Jared said we should end the meeting right then and there, because it was one of the only times he had heard him apologize,' Scarborough said.



They're not confident they'll get one this time, Vanity Fair reported.

'We would take these insults seriously from anyone else,' Scarborough told the publication. 'We don’t from him, because, unfortunately, we believe he is in decline.'
