It’s so fun to watch the media implode in different ways. Much of them implode with fake news about Donald Trump. Others like arrogant Megyn Kelly implode with so called “celebrities.” After her little hag fight with Jane Fonda, so called celebrities are rufusing to go on “Megyn Kelly Today.” Seems that no amount of pandering to left wing Hollywood hacks by dissing of Trump can win Kelly any love.
She’s hated on the right because of her bitter vendetta against Trump. She’s hated on the left for his fight with dried up hag Jane Fonda and no more in the middle cares about Megyn Kelly. She’s been such an epic failure at NBC. At least she got paid $20 million per year.

Multiple talent reps say the “Hanoi Jane” remarks have made them reconsider booking clients on ‘Megyn Kelly Today.’ “Actors don’t trust her,” says a publicist.
Is Megyn Kelly’s Monday morning takedown of Jane Fonda — in which Kelly invoked Fonda’s Vietnam-era Hanoi Jane sobriquet — the first of more provocations? Or was it a one-off?Those close to Kelly tell The Hollywood Reporter that she had had enough of Fonda’s insults stemming from an interview on Megyn Kelly Today back in September, during the first week of Kelly’s show. That’s when Fonda abruptly shut down Kelly’s questions about plastic surgery, a topic Fonda has openly discussed in past media appearances.
The tipping point was a Jan. 20 interview Fonda did with Variety in which she said she was “stunned” by the question, asserting that it “showed that [Kelly] is not that good an interviewer.” She added that she would come back on Kelly’s show “if she comes around and learns her stuff.”
Kelly prepared the script over the weekend and delivered it during the final minutes of Monday’s show. NBC News management was aware of her impending remarks, sources tell THR.
Reaction inside and outside NBC News was swift and extreme. The View panelists — and guest host Ann Curry — tore Kelly apart. Joy Behar called her a “bitch”; minutes later, she apologized, rescinding the epithet. Wendy Williams accused Kelly of doing it “for ratings.” Inside NBC News, the characterizations included “outrageous” and “awful.” One person questioned the wisdom of using NBC News as a platform to “settle a personal score.”
