Megyn Kelly’s Fiery Reaction to Plastic Surgery Questions: The Shocking Truth!

The mainstream media chapter for Megyn Kelly appears to be closed for good—and maybe that’s for the best. Once a prominent face on Fox News, she’s transformed into a polarizing figure, especially with her eyebrow-raising comments about plastic surgery that have ruffled more than a few feathers among Hollywood’s elite.

Flashback to 2017, when Kelly was finding her footing on NBC’s “Megyn Kelly Today.” During an interview with legends Jane Fonda and Robert Redford about their film “Our Souls At Night,” things took an unexpected turn. After delivering a glowing compliment to Fonda about her graceful aging, Kelly pivoted to the touchy subject of cosmetic enhancements. “You’ve openly admitted to having work done, which I think is commendable. But why wouldn’t you be proud of it?” Fonda, visibly taken aback, deftly redirected the conversation back to their film. Although Fonda has opened up about her own mixed feelings regarding plastic surgery, Kelly’s probing question felt out of place, especially with Redford in the room.

When asked by Variety if she’d ever sit down with Kelly again, Fonda’s response was curt: only if Kelly learned some manners of interviewing. “I was just shocked. It was totally inappropriate,” she shared. “It shows she lacks interviewing skills.”

Let’s not forget Erin Moriarty, star of “The Boys,” who also found herself in Kelly’s crosshairs. Kelly’s comments about Moriarty’s appearance were so harsh that they prompted the actress to step away from Instagram for a significant time.

During a January 2024 episode of her podcast, Kelly went in hard on Moriarty, alleging she had drastically altered her looks with plastic surgery. “She’s sporting those Kardashian lips and her nose? It’s so skinny it looks like a pencil. It seems like she’s got cheek implants too,” Kelly remarked, lamenting the growing number of young women who look “artificial.”

Moriarty didn’t take these comments lightly. In her well-crafted Instagram response, she expressed heartbreak over Kelly’s speculations. She pointed out that the “after” photo Kelly referenced was taken with heavy makeup and contouring, not a result of any surgical changes. The “before” image? It was snapped when she was barely of legal drinking age! “Shame on you, Megyn Kelly,” she declared. The actress made it clear that Kelly’s implications about women’s self-worth were misguided. Since then, she has deleted the post but has re-emerged on social media, bringing back her vibrant presence.
