Megyn Kelly, the former Fox News darling turned independent firebrand, has declared war on her old network, branding executives “cowards” in a blistering August 2025 podcast episode: “They fired me for telling the truth on Trump – now look, my show’s bigger than theirs!” This explosive accusation has reignited her feud with Fox, where she hosted from 2004-2017, accusing them of sexism after her 2015 debate clash with Trump over “blood” comments.

Kelly’s post-Fox path included a rocky NBC stint (2017-2019), ending in blackface controversy and a $69 million payout. Now, her Megyn Kelly Show podcast boasts 1.5 million subscribers, outpacing Fox digital in key demos. The rant targeted Rupert Murdoch’s successors, alleging they “caved to MAGA pressure” post-2016. “Fox is scared of real journalism,” she claimed, hinting at unreleased emails proving bias.

Interactions with ex-colleagues like Hannity – who she called “spineless” – add fuel. Social media loves it: #MegynVsFox trends with fans cheering her “queen” status. Fox dismissed it as “sour grapes,” but insiders fear advertiser shifts.

As Kelly eyes a TV return, this “coward” callout could explode into lawsuits. Is she the avenger media needs? The battle’s just begun.
