INSANE ‘Free Speech Activist’ Says The “Mail Bombs” Were Ben Shapiro’s Fault
October 26, 2018Megyn is OUT at NBC…
But don’t expect her to come crawling back to Fox with her tail between her legs…
They don’t want her.
According to Daily Mail:
Megyn Kelly will likely be a free agent after her lawyer and NBC executives finalize an exit deal in the coming days. Friday the network confirmed her 9 am hour would never air again and would instead be backfilled by other Today talent.
Rumors of a possible return to Fox News were firmly shot down by an informed and high-level source at her former network on Friday, who told DailyMail.com that Kelly ‘is not coming back to any of the Fox News platforms.’
A Fox News publicist insinuated on the record earlier this week that there was no place for Kelly at the moment. ‘We are extremely happy with our entire line-up.’
Ooooh. That’s COLD.
SOME at Fox will be sad to hear that, however:
That will be sad news for a few of her former co-workers, with Geraldo Rivera having shown his support earlier in the day by tweeting: ‘Since she’s made an apparently heartfelt apology for grossly misguided remarks, how about showing some mercy to an otherwise good person? Hope she comes back to Fox.’
Adding to the support was Fox News’ meteorologist Janice Dean also weighed in on Twitter, writing: ‘My friend Megyn Kelly is not a racist. Those close to her know her heart. She’s a good person, a wonderful mom, wife, sister, friend and human being. She didn’t deserve this.’
Things really aren’t going well for her:
DailyMail.com reported earlier this week that Kelly’s former reps at CAA had been calling networks in hopes of finding a possible home for Kelly.
That did not play out well however, with one network source stating: ‘We wouldn’t hire her in a million years. She’s toxic and her personal brand is finished.’
An insider at CAA confirmed that those calls were being made, stating: ‘There have been some preliminary discussions, but it is normal for agents to be aware of what’s out there, but nothing significant yet.’
A few hours after that story was published, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Kelly had fired her agents. So yeah. Things aren’t looking great.
I’m not a HUGE fan of hers… but I do feel bad for her. This sucks. I think she might be done for good.
