Megyn Kelly Takes Aim At Ex-CNN Anchor For Writing About Her Sex Life — Falsely Claims the Ex-Anchor Said She Was ‘Banging Four Men in a Month’

Megyn Kelly went scorched earth on former CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin this week in a conversation with the co-hosts of the Ruthless podcast, part of the so-called manosphere. Kelly played a recent clip of Baldwin discussing the “journey” she has been on in recent years on her Substack and mocked her overly “therapized” language and jabbed that she used to be a “serious news anchor.”

“Her work and her mission include banging four men in a month — one of whom, from her piece, I mean, her written piece, says he flew in just to take her to dinner and spends his days working to save democracy, one congressional district at a time.Come on. Yeah, she doesn’t say who it is,” Kelly added during the conversation as the podcast guys laughed.

“Wear is smug again today,” Kelly joked, name-checking one of the Ruthless co-hosts.

“Just kidding, just kidding. Man two: one used to run a country. Man three: one is just hot. Man four: not described at all, which — that’s tougher for that guy. She says some of the men now subscribe to her newsletter. Hi, fellas! So they’re all reading about each other,” Kelly continued, adding:

And Brooke Baldwin’s journey… of awakening. I mean, the self-help talk, the journeys of awakening — I see you. Her gratitude, the music, like the weird spa music from, like, I don’t know, India, the overly therapized talk in there — you can tell she spent a lot of years in therapy. No makeup. You know, “my work and my mission” — it was like, okay.

But to be clear, Baldwin specifically wrote that she did not sleep with any of the four men.

“Turned them all down,” Baldwin wrote. “Every. Single. One.”

She added that she’s currently focused on a greater purpose.

“In this particular season of my life, I care too much about what I’m building to let my energy scatter in a dozen directions,” Baldwin wrote.

Kelly went on to show some of Baldwin’s past reporting and a clip of her admonishing Clay Travis for saying the only two things he “believes in” are “the First Amendment and boobs.”

“Well, I would say I mean she can do what she wants and whatever, but I think she’s been in a very toxic industry for a long long time. I can relate. She had a divorce. Okay, that can be tough. Um, she tried that one show that didn’t work out, but that was a good swing and a miss. Um, it’s fine. It was it was a good swing. And I don’t think this is the way out of the funk, Brooke,” Kelly concluded, offering some unsolicited advice and telling Baldwin she “deserves better.”
