Awful, right?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"587\" data-end=\"997\">Let\u2019s rewind a bit. Once a prime-time conservative news queen, Megyn Kelly built her brand asking people if sitcoms made them gay, questioning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/tag\/jane-fonda\/\">Jane Fonda<\/a>\u2019s plastic surgery in a movie promo interview, and famously insisting Jesus (and Santa) were white, on national TV. Unsurprisingly, things went downhill when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> turned his bullying gaze on her. Her fanbase cracked, and so did her career trajectory.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1374\">Fast-forward to today: Kelly\u2019s no longer on Fox, NBC, or any mainstream network. Instead, she\u2019s running her own talk show on the digital sidelines, trying to reclaim the throne from newer, algorithm-favoured voices like Candace Owens. Owens can bounce from French politics to celebrity scandals like a caffeinated tabloid writer, while Kelly seems to be struggling to keep up.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1374\">\n<h2 data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1374\"><strong>Megyn Kelly-Sydney Sweeney controversy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1376\" data-end=\"1609\">Enter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/tag\/jeff-bezos\/\">Jeff Bezos<\/a>\u2019 ultra-rich, ultra-bougie wedding. The billionaire Amazon founder tied the knot in a lavish affair that had everyone buzzing, but what Megyn Kelly couldn\u2019t wrap her head around was: why was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/tag\/sydney-sweeney\/\"><strong data-start=\"1582\" data-end=\"1600\">Sydney Sweeney<\/strong><\/a> invited?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1611\" data-end=\"1831\">Now, most people would assume the answer is pretty simple: Sydney\u2019s a rising star, Bezos is a studio exec, and in Hollywood, when the boss invites you, you smile, RSVP, and go. It\u2019s awkward, but it\u2019s also networking 101.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1833\" data-end=\"2066\">But no, Megyn had a spicier theory. On her show, she flat-out said Sweeney was only invited because of her \u201cenormous breasts,\u201d and that\u2019s why \u201ceverybody\u2019s obsessed with her.\u201d Not her acting talent. Not her star power. Just\u2026 her breasts. Such an awful take.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2091\" data-end=\"2485\">This is classic Megyn Kelly, turning <em data-start=\"2127\" data-end=\"2136\">herself<\/em> into the story, one wild comment at a time. The New York Times even made a list once of how often she does this. Her talent isn\u2019t really in analysing stories, but in <em data-start=\"2305\" data-end=\"2316\">hijacking<\/em> them, framing everything like the world is just too sensitive for her \u201ctruth bombs,\u201d when really she\u2019s just saying outdated, tone-deaf nonsense louder than anyone else.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2487\" data-end=\"2789\">And this Sydney Sweeney comment? It\u2019s not just weird, it\u2019s insulting. It reduces a rising actress to her body while ignoring her actual career, talent, and work ethic. But Megyn\u2019s always operated on the belief that if you speak with enough authority, it doesn\u2019t matter how off-base or offensive you are.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2791\" data-end=\"3166\">In the end, this isn\u2019t about Sydney Sweeney. It\u2019s about Megyn Kelly refusing to let go of the spotlight, even as it dims. She was making cringe takes before TikTok, before trending hashtags, before the algorithm. And while Candace Owens may have taken the internet throne, Megyn\u2019s still lurking, mic in hand, ready to say something jaw-dropping, whether it makes sense or not.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2791\" data-end=\"3166\">\n<h2 data-start=\"2791\" data-end=\"3166\"><strong>Who is Megyn Kelly?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"169\" data-end=\"740\">Megyn Kelly is a former TV news anchor who became one of the most controversial faces in American media. She first rose to fame on Fox News, where she hosted <em data-start=\"348\" data-end=\"364\">The Kelly File<\/em> and built a reputation as a sharp, tough-talking journalist who didn\u2019t shy away from hot issues. But her fame really exploded in 2015 when she got into a now-infamous feud with Donald Trump during his presidential campaign, after she questioned him about his history of sexist comments. Trump lashed out, and Kelly found herself at the centre of a political firestorm.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"742\" data-end=\"1247\">After Fox, she jumped to NBC for a high-profile daytime gig, but that ended badly after she defended blackface Halloween costumes on-air, yep, you read that right. Since then, Kelly has been mostly operating independently, running her own talk show online where she dishes out opinions on everything from politics to pop culture. Known for her blunt delivery and polarising takes, Megyn Kelly remains a lightning rod in media circles, loved by some, eye-rolled by many, and always ready to stir the pot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Megyn Kelly made derogatory remarks regarding Sydney Sweeney\u2019s invitation to Jeff Bezos\u2019 wedding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":79734,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[4861,947],"class_list":["post-79733","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-megyn-kelly","tag-sydney-sweeney"],"reading_time":"4 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79733","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79733"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79733\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
