Megyn Kelly is no stranger to controversy.
She ignited a feud with Donald Trump that defined the early months of the 2016 presidential campaign and she raised eyebrows across the media landscape when she jumped to NBC.
Now she’s unleashed a rant that’s landed her squarely on the hot seat.
Both the media and political worlds were rocked by the death of former Fox News President Roger Ailes.
Ailes – who passed away at the age of 77 – had molded Fox News into the cable news juggernaut that would speak for the millions of Americans alienated by the so-called “mainstream” media’s liberal bias.
But Ailes was forced out of Fox due personal conduct controversies.
And Megyn Kelly was one of the key witnesses against him.
Experts pointed to her testimony against Ailes as the straw that broke the camel’s back.
In her book “Settle for More”, Kelly explained the thought process that led her to speak out against Ailes.
Yahoo reports:
“After Carlson filed her lawsuit July 6, and Fox began investigating the charges, Kelly wrote that she and her friend agreed to tell the investigators the truth if they were interviewed, and began quietly asking around if more women had experienced harassment from Ailes.
“She was a fearless soldier in what would become an underground army of women — those resolved to be honest about his behavior,” Kelly wrote.
But when Kelly found out the Ailes investigation would be limited so she wouldn’t get questioned, she wrote, she decided to come forward, and told Lachlan Murdoch, heir of the network’s parent company 21st Century Fox, what happened to her. Ailes found out, Kelly’s story leaked, and even more women started telling Kelly their stories.
“I had become aware of many other victims — the underground soldiers were finding each other — including some women who were still being harassed by him in deeply unsettling ways,” she wrote. “I figured if sharing my name with Roger would help the others stay anonymous, so be it.”
In the meantime, speaking out against Ailes cost her internally at Fox News.
Bill O’Reilly, the network’s top rated anchor, criticized her.
And just seven months later, Kelly was also out of Fox News, although she left by her own accord.
Insiders reported O’Reilly’s comments were part of her decision to leave.
The Hill reports:
“Kelly was frustrated by O’Reilly’s criticism of her for publicly discussing sexual harassment she experienced at Fox, The New York Times reported Friday.
The Times said Kelly sent an email to Fox executives complaining about O’Reilly’s behavior during his appearance on “CBS This Morning” in November.
O’Reilly criticized Kelly for discussing how former Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes allegedly sexually harassed her in a book she released the same day as his interview. Ailes left the network in July amid several several sexual harassment claims against him and a lawsuit from former anchor Gretchen Carlson.
“Look, it’s open season,” O’Reilly said when asked about Kelly’s claims. “Let’s whack the Fox News Channel. I’ve had enough of it. It’s a good place to work. All right?”
Kelly’s book and her comments on Ailes are taking on a new light in the wake of his passing.
Liberals are trying to paint Ailes as a monster and will use Kelly’s excerpts as evidence to convict him.
And who cares?
yes sir , WHO THE HELL CARES, she is just motor mouthing so she can continue to maybe her millions plus dollars
I believe Megan was unhappy when G Carlson got such a big payoff, and she herself got zero. According to Megan’s previous comments, Roger Ailes was her savior. Then, she said a few things that, if they were true, didn’t seem like sexual harassment. Later, she said more. All I can say is that NBC had best be careful with this woman. She aims to be a star, and if the station managers have good sense, they had better give her everything she wants, or they will be on her hit list. This time she will get the money that she believes she should have had in the first place.
SHE IS WORTH $0.02 ON THE OPEN MARKET……….IF I SEE HER ON ANY PROGRAM, I TURN IT OFF BECAUSE AM TIRED TO LISTENING TO HER AND THE CORRUPT LYING LIBERAL MEDIA.
Really sick of seeing her anywhere at all. Wonder if she is related to the other talentless bottom feeders; the Kardashians.
Apparently since Kelly will be hosting her first show with the TALENTLESS Kardashians. BOYCOTT Megyn on NBC. She deserves no air time, and not just for what she did to Trump and Ailes, but because she is two-faced and will stab the NBC crew in the back. It already started when NBC fired Tamron Hall. I hate that idiotic bimbo, Megyn.
BTW….it’s NBCU now.
2nd cousins
You mean the Kartrashians? LOL
That’s a good one–hope you don’ mind if I use that from now on—-:)
Be my guest! Have a blessed day!
that is exactly what I was thinking
Attractive, opinionated, overpaid. And who cares? THEY’RE JUST NEWS READERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! All of them.
She’s unwelcome on my property!
“…she and her friend agreed to tell the investigators the truth…” And the alternative was to lie? How nice they agreed to tell the truth. She will bomb on NBC.
Remember Katie Couric’s Dump in Ratings, when she trashed Sara pAlin.From NBC to YaHOOO oooo to Where is Katie Couric Now ?
Can she just go away, all she wants is the spot light on her. Isn’t it funny she waited 10 years to tell he story. She also needs to remember, Ailes 17 year old son said he will get even, and I hope Meagain is first in line.
Megan trying to bash Ailes was like ‘biting the hand that feeds you’. She’ll never be anywhere close to being as popular as she was when she was one of the up-and-coming stars of Fox. Poetic justice, I call it.
Katie Couric coughs and will probably be a Houseguest on the show and laugh at Megan,thinking Meg got away with Murder, but when Kel also falls into the dustbin” Memory hole of Forgotten time of Oblivion,no one will care, except Megan and her family of WHO ?
Since The Kenyan fraud, Thief and Liar,Obuma came on the scene. The now open Lying Free Press is now the Free press turned to do the bidding of Bull-Shizting Amercian Thinking for the Lost on the left,while lining their pockets as presstitutes,for the NWO Corporatist Cabal.
Why did she wait 10 yrs to bring it out? I guess the money she got paid was the reason let it go on.
to help her book sales.
For the MONEY that she saw Carlson get who by the way only claimed she was harrassed after her contract was terminated. When people see a money train they can just about claim anything they want and never have to show proof.If it’s a claim about anyone who is conservative they know that the media will print whatever accusations are mad even when ZERO evidence is there.Maybe the Russians did it !!
Megan Kelley is the Devils Wife. That’s why Fox News Got Rid Of Her.She won’t last where ever she goes.
BOBBY ~!~
Can anyone please tell me what is so fascinating about this woman? I just don’t see it.
F’UGLY IS AS F’UGLY DOES…………AND SHE DOES IT SO WELL……….
Nuthin Ed she just a media whore
My guess is she is the liberal’s “new darling” for she appeared to be a once strong conservative that has switched to the dark side, progressivism,–And they think they had their hand in it!!!
Wouldn’t believe her if her tough came notarized so stop your bitching the parties over
Well, she killed him, and pretty much killed Fox News (the entities that made her rich and famous.) Now could she please sit down and shut up? We’ve seen enough of her!
Muahaha I hear ya.. Soon someone will catch her Giving BJ to the COO Manager and NBC will Be caught up in Hypocrisy News Putting Lester Holt out on the hot Seat and wiping the sweat off his Brow, as head Anchoring the excuses why this happened. oh the ratings fare of the battles between Fox,ABC,CBS and NBC trying to save face.
Loser!!! Why is this no talent self-empowered dolt still relevant??? Still haven’t seen any proof regarding Ailes!! Or O’Reilly for that matter. These people are low lives who should be relegated to their little rooms and not let out
He’s dead, you can’t hurt him anymore, but you can surely hurt his family. I thought Megan was a family woman. Come on let’s stir up some more #***#. He is also gone from Fox News, who are you trying to hurt this time.
This is a publicity stunt. It is all about Megan. She is about to be on the air, and she want’s everyone to be there watching her, to build her ratings. Sorry Megan, it will never work.
Looks like she figured out a way to get back in the news business as she kind of fell out of it when moving to NBC. Will her next move be to MS-LSD as matching bookend to MadCow 🙂
I am so tired of seeing that woman’s face everywhere who cares I thought she was done!!!
Megan would eat her own kids to stay in the spotlight and extort more money.
She has made too many enemies in the business including the President of the United States. She’s known for all the knives she put in peoples backs to get to the top.
Fox was a dynasty at one time–but when the liberal cancer gets a hold on anything–it will suffocate the life out of everything it touches!!!!-Fox has gone to the dark side–why I don’t know–if anyone does, please inform me!
Ratings = money – follow the money – you will also come to whoring women like Megan Kelly and others – it was all about money. They all changed their views when they decided to jump ship for more $$$$. Who can believe what they say now?
Murdoch’s sons are liberals, and they are edging their way into the business. The will destroy FNC, which is NewsCorp’s cash cow, contributing about 25% to the corporate profits. I haven’t seen any figures for very recent years, but I did see an article two or three years ago stating that in “a recent year” FNC alone had made a profit of $900 million.
dont expect a retweet or a share from me that is just a ploy to get people to advertise her stupid book. We dont care about this has been Her days are numbered when she loses $ for the network thinking she was a cash cow. Her time slot trippled numbers after she left What does that tell you .
See my Reply ton 1 IndianaSeniorCitizen2
I am sck of these women. If happened what they are saying it should have been revealed UP FRONT, not allow more women to be mistreated! They ought to be prosecuted.
HAS ANY WOMAN, AT ANY TIME WORKED WHERE THEY WERE TOLD……..”I LOVE MY WIFE, BUT OH YOU KID”?………I WAS EVEN PROPOSITIONED WHEN I WAS 6 MONTHS PREGNANT….JUST TOLD HIM TO GROW UP, OR I WOULD CALL HIS WIFE……..
Megyn is a fading star, so to be religated to doing commercials for the No No Hair removal system on late night TV.
SHE IS NOTHING BUT AN EGOTISTICAL BROAD…….SHE IS AS BAD AS HC & BO THAT THINK THEY CAN SAY OR DO ANYTHING, EVEN IF ITS NOT THE TRUTH………SHE IS NOT GOOD LOOKING, BUT IS NOT UGLY EITHER (ONLY ON THE INSIDE), HER EYES ARE TOO FAR APART, AND HER BOTTLED HAIR IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE DEAD MATTER ON HER HEAD……..WITHOUT MAKEUP, SHE LOOKS LIKE THE WOMAN DOWN ON YOUR BLOCK, THAT NO ONE PAYS ATTENTION TO………SHE IS EVIL/CORRUPT AND SOON NO ONE WILL HIRE HER………..
SHE’S WHERE SHE BELONGS AT NBC=nothing but crap NETWORK. Home of such infamous liars as Lyin Brian Williams.
Is she still around? I thought she went the way all traitors do – into obscurity. Needless to say, I will not be watching her anytime soon.
somehow it is always about her
Enough is enough time to get over Megan Kelly’s overrated publicity about nothing. She has beauty and charm but underneath all that lies a soul that is penetrated with selfishness to hell with everyone else and I will destroy anyone that gets in my way. NBC was crazy to hire her because of her all over the place political statements that tries to drag down very good politicians like Donald Trump. Sorry NBC you have bought a very risky investment and will lead to bad ratings filled with a tons of problems.
What rant? This is old news.
This woman is for sale and will say anything for money.
Whatta POS……Hmmmm – The dems GAVE immunity – 5th – disappearance – cover up – missing 411 – removed 411 – destroyed computers and records – classified 411 —– to everyone that ws in their pocket during the other investigations !!!!! Trump – declassify – and release the 411 in reference to these investigations to the people —- Let’em see just what the swamp has been doing for the last 8 years….
When ya have NO TALENT and NO CLASS – ya end up like her…..I know poor people that have more than these pricks will ever have….
She must need the attention for ratings. NBC needs viewers. Her show sucked anyway while on Fox.
This is a women thing. You can dress practically naked on TV, at least very provocative, but if someone looks at you with a look you don’t like it becomes sexual harassment. People claim its a man’s world , especially the news business, but what would you say if men came to work looking like a street walker. Also, lets not forget, sexual harassment is great for your pocketbook if you are female! Ya don’t have to prove anything. And, its to bad because these women had a great future if they had kept their cleavage in and their skirts to their knees. Modesty still has a place … well, except for Hollyweird where morals and brains are in short supply!
Kelly…Not missed by our Household!
Is there nothing of better interest, either on TV. in Politics, Books, Shows, I’ll take almost anything, but if I see this – whatever it is she is supposedly talented foe – Kelly person, mentioned again in any subject, I will be nauseous! What is she, what does she do, I only connect her with sitting on shows as the resident candy dressing. She is totally boring, no talent that I have seen, just an insulting and accusing mouth. Her attitude and attacking people taes away from her only asset, and of course that has been helped along by professionals, her face ~ and now I am so sick of looking at that. Please locate another female, in Sports, Music, Theater, Cooking, anything, to fill in the space for this totally boring, uninteresting trust-less person.
Megyn who?
She left her career and went to a liberal channel. She only has fame because Fox gave it to her, promoting her and her show. She is nothing now and worthless.
It’s really brave to smear the name of someone when they have died and can’t defend themselves isn’t it? Megyn was getting a big head while at Fox and maybe a small audience is just what her large ego needs to bring her down a couple of notches. As for her charges against Ailes, who among working women have not been the victim of some sort of sexual harassment? I have had plenty of it. Maybe putting on your big girl pants and confronting the harasser yourself instead of public accusations and book deals would garner more respect than the tattling does? It’s a game of he said, she said and there have been proven liars on both sides. Carlson waited to speak out when her contract was up and they wouldn’t pay her what she wanted. Strange, isn’t it?
kneeds to be taken out in the woods for a good banging
I’m disturbed at what they so easily call, “sexual harassment” without giving details! It could be anything from saying, “good morning, sweetie” to patting Kelly’s back side or being downright vulgar and nasty…. like ex-President Clinton and his pal Weiner.
Megyn Kelly should just go back to her corner of the swamp and keep doing interviews with her peers like Michael Moore and Debbie Wasserperson-Schultz. Trolling through the muck and creating giggly controversy all about herself is what she seems to do best. Good riddance.
SHE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A PROSTITUTE BEING WHATEVER ANYONE WANTS HER TO BE IN ORDER TO MAKE A LARGER INCOME. Whether its sexual leverage and misconduct or flat out ethical lies she will do whatever it takes to better HER station in life no matter who it hurts
SHE HAS NO CREDIBILITY AS A TALKING HEAD NEWS PERSONALITY SHE’S TOO EASILY BOUGHT
New weapon of mass destruction invented by our progressives, intellectuals, Marxists, social sciences professors, labor union goons, communists, Democrats, and other bottom-feeders, slime and scum of this once free country is – sexual harassment! Please all men – abstain from issuing any compliments to women! For example do not tell your secretary one morning complimenting her on her new costume!
Why doesn’t Megyn do her first show on NBC with Howard Stern, the vulgar host who did not need to encourage her much to frolic with him and explain to everyone that her breast enlarged when she was pregnant (duh?) and talked about her husband’s “private parts.” No, she will dip even lower to get her jollies off with the dysfunctional Kardasians who are famous for being famous.
She is a great person. Very courageous.
With a 10 mil contract that will require her to perform to get an audience, the heat is on her? She can live on some sort of settlement and ride off into the unset and not have to do anything? Probably a method she learned from sports figures, CEOs and others that act crazy to pd a retirement fund. Being a pain in the rear can be quite lucrative under some circumstances.
This sexual harassment stuff along with the whole idea of women’s equality and the the anti-discrimination have turned into another govt, inquisition. And are WPA type programs for lawyers to have access to the deep pockets of govt. Possibly the first American govt inquisition was Prohibition. Which set the govt on a hell bent mission impossible to stamp out and destroy all liquor in America and put drinkers in jail! How does that fit in with being free? It doesn’t. Segregation was a democrat party inquisition to stamp out and eliminate all civil rights for blacks. BLM is also an inquisition to stamp out all discrimination by the police against blacks. And, like in the south where some blacks were hung just because they were black, cops get shot by blacks just because they are cops. And islam is on a global inquisition tear to eliminate infidels from the face of the earth. This is opposite to the Christian prayer. Come Holy Spirit and renew the face of the earth. Will Islam listen to T’s secular version of this idea. Our establishment and liberals everywhere appear to not have listened. I can add. Forgive the establishment and liberals, they know not what they are doing!
my wife burned her book as soon she heard Kelly had jumped to NBC. A channel that is so liberal that’s sickening. Megan you belong at NBC where backstabbers belong.
she can always go to modeling swimsuits
A low life piraña that is more vicious than a python. Scum from the bottom.
Howard Stern said far worse things toward her and she told her husband he
Once a piece of trash always a piece of trash.
She joked about her breast size and her husband penis size on the Howard Stern show who said some pretty vulgar things to Kelly and she laughed about it. Fox woman who charged Ailes for harassment are total hypocrites when they make their claims. Thet marginalize women who are really victims of abuse.
Can Kelly … just GO AWAY?
WHY!!???
WHY is it still “important” or “necessary” that “she” is a VALID NEWS story!!!???
Other than a distraction away from REAL important “news”.
She waited 10 years to mention it. The timing points to “collusion”.
What is Megyn’s definition of harassment? She is one of those who would scream if a man held a door for her as an act of demeanment. The woman by the name of Walsh who screamed accused O’Reilly of saying that she “had an ugly purse”.
Come on people, where are your priorities? You play this off-subject game of “mental masturbation”, while the Muslims are knocking on our doors. We need and Amendment to the Constitution that requires all media to report all sides of “the news and facts”, and then if they want to “take a position”, let them do so on their editorial page or at the end of their radio/TV/Internet programs. Also, it should be against the law for the media to “photo-shop” any pictures as that is a “visual lie”. Also there should be an independent agency that documents and reveals all instances of false media reporting and all media outlets should have to include their “honesty score” along-side their official radio, TV or news agency addresses. The scale should be, “one to five”, with five being “fully honest and accurate”. Mistakes can be erased by full apologies and providing the correct information. Repeated ratings of “one” should result in their removal from the media business.
Nothing more than a skinny white Oprah. Nothing here.
