Megyn Kelly is letting loose and dropping some serious bombshells about the 'meanest' celebs she's ever crossed paths with. The outspoken political commentator, known for her no-nonsense style, is spilling the beans on some high-profile stars who didn't exactly win her over.
First up on Kelly's list is none other than the legendary Jane Fonda. During a 2017 interview, Fonda reportedly took offense when Kelly broached the topic of her plastic surgeries. "She was offended that I wasn't steering her there," Kelly claimed, suggesting Fonda was more interested in discussing steamy scenes from her film Our Souls at Night. Redford, Fonda's co-star, allegedly preferred to steer clear of such topics, making for one awkward studio moment.
“She really wanted to talk about their s-- scenes,” Kelly shared, recalling the tension.
Next on the list is action star Bruce Willis, who seemed less than thrilled during a 2006 appearance on Fox News. Kelly labeled the Die Hard actor as "so ungiving" and "unhappy to be there." While acknowledging Willis's current struggles with dementia, Kelly lamented his reluctance to engage during the interview, leaving her wondering why he agreed to the sit-down in the first place.
While Kelly didn't delve deeply into her issues with Al Roker, she certainly dropped some cryptic hints. "Let’s just say, if my mother ran into Al Roker, she would turn into Larry David bumping into Alan Dershowitz at Martha’s Vineyard very quickly," she teased. Meanwhile, Ellen DeGeneres earned a spot on the Mean List due to a "close family member's" unpleasant experience behind the scenes at *The Ellen DeGeneres Show*. Kelly described the atmosphere as one where staff were instructed to avert their eyes in the presence of DeGeneres, a revelation that aligned with the later publicized bullying scandals.
Not all Hollywood encounters were sour for Kelly. She had high praise for Russell Brand, describing him as "warm," and Jada Pinkett Smith, whom she called "so sweet" and "genuine." Milo Yiannopoulos and Kathie Lee Gifford also received her nod of approval, with Gifford standing out during a tough year at NBC.
All in all, Kelly's candid recounting of her celebrity interactions gives a fascinating peek into the less-than-glamorous side of Hollywood.
