Megyn Kelly Responds To Matt Lauer’s Firing

You know who might end up being the biggest beneficiary of Matt Lauer’s demise? Megyn Kelly. There’s a HUGE role that needs to be filled ASAP. Who better to fill it than Megyn? I mean, isn’t that the kind of thing she wanted? Surely, she’d rather take his place than continue to interview the Kardashians and participate in live yoga sessions.

She has finally responded to the Matt Lauer news. She said Matt has been a friend, but she truly feels for the women.

Megyn: "I’ve known Matt for a long time, and he has been a friend, and kind, and supportive to me in my transition to NBC. And I see the anguish on my colleagues' faces. But when this happens, we don’t see the pain on the faces of those who found the courage to come forward."

“This one does hit close to home,” Kelly said. “I, too, have known Matt for a long time and he has been a friend and kind and supportive to me in my transition to NBC News, and I see the anguish on my colleagues faces.”

“What we don’t see is the pain on the faces of those who found the courage to come forward, and it is a terrifying thing to do,” Kelly continued. “We don’t see the career opportunities women lose because of sexual harassment or the intense stress it causes a woman dealing with it when she comes to work each day. I am thinking of those women this morning and hoping they are okay. The days to come will not be easy.”
