Brooke Baldwin Trashes Megyn Kelly for False Sex Life Claims
Mediaite • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Former CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin accused Megyn Kelly of failing "Journalism 101" after Kelly falsely claimed Baldwin admitted to casual sex with four men in a month during a podcast discussion.
- Kelly's claim was based on a misunderstanding of Baldwin's Substack post, in which Baldwin actually stated she declined all such propositions, emphasizing discipline and protecting her energy.
- Baldwin criticized Kelly for framing a nine-minute segment around falsehoods, which were then widely disseminated without verification by other media outlets.
- Kelly later admitted on her podcast that she had not read Baldwin’s full post before making the claim but continued to attack Baldwin’s character.
- Baldwin condemned Kelly’s follow-up comments as further defamation and a failure to meet basic journalistic standards, highlighting Kelly's reckless disregard for the truth.
