Who did she call the most racist person on TV? From pundits to presidents,
Megyn Kelly has stirred the pot with oh-so-many celebs.
Megyn Kelly has made it very clear that she's not a fan of the Kardashians and
has gone as far as to suggest that they're evil. In October 2022,
Kelly took to her podcast, "The Megyn Kelly Show" to denounce the family, explaining,
Kelly interviewed the Kardashians herself before on "Today" in 2017 where she asked
if they were a force of good or evil because of the unattainable image they promote. While Kim
pointed out their positive impact in her response, looking back at it, Kelly completely disagrees.
"That's what I object to, is like their disgusting vanity which is
spread like wildfire in our society. The selfie culture is abhorrent."
You could say Kelly dislikes Kim the most,
since she made it a point to later kick her when she was down after Kardashian got booed
by fans when attending a LA Rams game. Kelly dished on another podcast episode:
"I do not feel empathetic toward Kim Kardashian."
"What are we celebrating? Her enormous fake a--? BLEEP"
Kelly also persisted that Kim orchestrates all of her publicity, including her sex tape,
by calling the paparazzi, and later photoshops those photos but denies
doing it. She even said Kim exploits her own children but plays the victim. Yikes.
Megyn Kelly and Jane Fonda's dislike for one another started in 2017 after Fonda
appeared on "Megyn Kelly Today." That's because Kelly asked Fonda about the plastic surgery she
had done. Fonda looked completely taken aback by Kelly's question, responding,
"You're not proud to admit that you've had work done. Why not?"
"We really want to talk about that now?"
Later, when asked about the interaction by Variety, Fonda threw shade at Kelly saying,
Fonda wasn't done after that either, considering that when appearing on "Today" months later,
she made a salty comment about Kelly after a face lift joke.
"Who are you, Megyn Kelly?"
Of course, Kelly wasn't going to take all of that, and took to her show to blast Fonda. She dished,
Kelly went on to say that she had no regrets for asking that question and
wasn't interested in a lesson on appropriateness from Fonda.
Kelly wasn't done, though, considering that she
brought up Fonda's controversial past during the Vietnam War, too.
"By the way, she still says she is not proud of America.
So, the moral indignation is a little much."
Clearly, there were some pretty hard feelings.
Perhaps Megyn Kelly's most famous feud was with former President Donald Trump which was
sparked by one of her questions during a 2015 Republican presidential debate.
"You've called women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals."
Trump apparently took issue with that and tweeted insults at Kelly, writing,
He didn't stop there, though, and later threw shade at her while on CNN:
"You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever."
Kelly later revealed on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" that his attacks made
her realize she didn't want to work in a toxic environment at Fox News, saying:
Megyn Kelly apparently didn't agree with tennis star Naomi Osaka's choice to not do press during
the 2021 French Open to protect her mental health. Yet, it seems Kelly was even more bothered by the
fact that Osaka went on to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated, which Kelly felt was
hypocritical. She took to Twitter to blast Osaka, retweeting sports analyst Clay Travis, who wrote,
Osaka seemingly noticed that Kelly was judging her and hit the ball right back
into Kelly's court in a tweet she later deleted where she questioned
Kelly's journalism skills. Osaka suggested Kelly didn't do her research since she'd
actually shot all those magazine covers a year earlier. Before blocking Kelly, Osaka added:
Osaka's response only fired up Kelly more, because she then tweeted,
For whatever reason, it appears that Osaka's actions really bugged Kelly. Why? Who knows.
"Why do you think you made $55 million last year, Naomi?"
Megyn Kelly has taken issue with former NFL player Colin Kaepernick on more than one
occasion. In fact, she seemingly completely disagrees with most things he does. In 2020,
for example, she was enraged when he tweeted,
Kelly, who's not usually one to keep quiet when she disapproves of something, then commented,
"​​Because everything is racist. Everything. Even
fighting back against terrorists who kill Americans. Nike, feeling proud?"
While Kaepernick and Nike seemingly ignored Kelly,
filmmaker Ava DuVernay defended him in her own tweet, shaming Kelly. Yet
this just gave Kelly more incentive to double down on her attacks on Kaepernick.
Kelly didn't just bash Kaepernick on Twitter though. When she was later
appalled by him comparing the NFL draft to slavery in his 2021 Netflix series,
"Colin in Black & White," she criticized him on her podcast, "The Megyn Kelly Show."
"I mean, he's insane. This is a racist guy. He really is a racist
guy and he hates our country. He hates America."
She even claimed that his show had made it clear that he was in fact a racist,
and questioned how he got the series in the first place.
It seems Megyn Kelly detested her former co-worker Bill O'Reilly enough to complain
about him when they worked at Fox News. The mother-of-three later shared her grievance
after O'Reilly claimed a report by The New York Times about his sexual harassment lawsuit was
false. He asserted that no woman had ever complained about him to human resources,
which an outraged Kelly later negated on "Today."
"O'Reilly's suggestion that no one ever complained
about his behavior is false. I know because I complained."
Kelly went on to share how she complained to Fox New's co-presidents in November 2016. It was the
same day her book, "Settle For More" came out, which detailed her sexual harassment from the
network's former CEO Roger Ailes. Kelly explained on "Today" that O'Reilly had been on CBS News that
day and was agitated when asked about her book because of how it might reflect on Fox News.
"I'm not interested in making my network look bad. At all. That doesn't interest me one bit."
That apparently angered Kelly enough to email a complaint, writing,
Yet Kelly wasn't done there, considering that
she lambasted O'Reilly again when on "Late Night With Seth Meyers."
"Who keeps thank-you notes from nine years earlier and puts them
in a file just in case they need them, right?"
It appears Megyn Kelly can't help but denounce people that annoy her even when
a situation doesn't necessarily involve her. And that's exactly what the former Fox News
correspondent did to MSNBC host Tiffany Cross after Cross suggested on her show that Samoan
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is Black. Cross had done so when criticizing
the NFL after Tagovailoa got hurt during a September 2022 football game. She shared:
"To see all these Black men crashing into each other with a bunch of white owners,
white coaches, and the complete disregard for Black bodies and Black life."
These comments apparently infuriated Kelly who then took to her own podcast,
"The Megyn Kelly Show" to call Cross a "moron" because Tagovailoa isn't Black,
and went on to call Cross the "most racist person on television."
"This person sees everything, everything, through a 'it's racist' prism."
Cross clearly doesn't like Kelly either,
so she wasn't afraid to fire back at Kelly on her show, saying:
Megyn Kelly's apparent dislike for Jennifer Lopez
and Shakira was sufficient enough to blast them on her podcast,
"The Megyn Kelly Show" over two years after they offended her. That's because in October 2022,
Kelly criticized their 2020 Super Bowl halftime performance, suggesting she held quite the grudge.
"I object to like J.Lo and Shakira showing their vag at the Super Bowl, like I don't want that."
Kelly wasn't alone in that, though, since The New York Post reported
that the concert received some hate. One person even tweeted,
It seems Kelly has a problem with Lopez and Shakira particularly since she added
that she doesn't have a problem with women embracing their bodies in general, and went on
to praise former supermodel Paulina Porizkova for her revealing photos on her social media.
With that said, it's clear Kelly just can't stand some celebrities,
and she'll definitely make it known.
