Megyn Kelly BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Megyn Kelly has been making headlines again this week, proving she still knows how to stir things up in media and pop culture circles. On her June 10 episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, she did not hold back in critiquing Jennifer Lopez’s revealing bodysuit worn at the Pride World Festival, calling Lopez “desperate” and accusing her of constantly orchestrating paparazzi moments to compensate for what Kelly says are poorly received recent projects. Kelly contrasted Lopez’s publicity tactics unfavorably to those of Helen Mirren and Jennifer Lawrence, suggesting JLo relies on controversy to keep her name in the headlines. The segment quickly generated buzz on social media and was picked up by multiple entertainment blogs, with many debating whether Kelly’s take was refreshing honesty or unnecessary body shaming, a debate that shows no signs of cooling off according to her official website and show platforms.

Kelly is also staying in the thick of political controversy. On June 9, she slammed the violent anti-ICE riots that erupted in Los Angeles, criticizing what she called the “total disregard for human life” and blasting Democrats for labeling the riots mostly peaceful. Her show featured in-depth discussions with guests like Charlie Kirk and Miranda Devine, exploring everything from mainstream media bias to law enforcement tensions, and the rapidly shifting political landscape in the United States. These conversations, streamed live every weekday on SiriusXM and podcast platforms, have reinforced her image as a provocateur unwilling to pull punches, especially on hot-button issues.

In the ongoing feud between conservative commentators and mainstream figures, Kelly recently weighed in on ABC journalist Terry Moran’s suspension for a late-night rant against Donald Trump. She discussed media double standards, calling out what she sees as growing partisanship among journalists and network leadership unwilling to take real disciplinary action. Her forthrightness here is drawing both applause and criticism online, as usual.

On the celebrity front, Kelly is back in the headlines for her past critique of Beyoncé, which has been resurrected as a video clip reportedly used during Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour. Music and culture commentators like Saving Country Music and Billboard have reported on the “call-out,” sparking fresh online arguments about celebrity privilege, race, and who gets to comment on cross-genre artistry. Kelly’s own remarks that she “didn’t bow down to Queen Bey” have made the rounds on X, Instagram, and in pop culture forums, keeping her name trending.

Lastly, in the realm of personal branding, Kelly continues to share snippets of her day-to-day on Instagram, engaging with thousands of fans and critics alike, and teasing upcoming show segments. For anyone doubting Megyn Kelly’s staying power, this month’s headlines and social chatter prove she remains one of the most polarizing and influential voices in American media.
