During an early October broadcast of her SiriusXM show, former Fox News host Megyn Kelly attacked ex-MSNBC host Joy Reid and former CNN host Don Lemon for their recent comments on Black-on-Black crime. Kelly accused both Reid and Lemon of "racializing" crime statistics.
Reid discussed Kelly's comments during an appearance on Tommy Christopher's Substack show on Thursday, October 2, and she had some scathing words for the far-right SiriusXM star.
Reid noted that Kelly "took selfies with Alex Jones," adding, "She's become a troll. Her thing is just trolling…. She's basically the blonde Laura Loomer. That lady is saying who's a real journalist?"
The former MSNBC host noted that after leaving Fox News, Kelly "failed as a dayside host because they tried to make Megyn fun and approachable and girlfriend material —and clearly, she's not that."
Reid, in the past, has described Kelly as "the ultimate mean girl" — a description she doubled down on during her conversation with Christopher.
Reid told Christopher, "She's one of the angriest, most miserable rich people I've ever seen in my life. Like, she's so angry. I mean, I guess the premise of her show is: It's your angry ex-wife. What is the purpose of that show? The premise of it is: I'm the meanest blonde you've ever seen."
