Megyn Kelly BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

This past week Megyn Kelly has been squarely in the spotlight for her relentless commentary on celebrity culture and politics, stirring up conversation and some serious backlash. On July 21, Entertainment Weekly reports that she let loose on Jennifer Lopez’s latest onstage performance, decrying it as “soft porn” on social media and questioning why Lopez at 56 feels compelled to wear revealing outfits and “show us how you can still be fierce at 56." This criticism echoes Kelly’s repeated on-air takedowns of Lopez—she previously slammed Lopez’s Pride event appearance, calling her “woke” and urging her to “stop trying to ruin the country.” So far Lopez has not publicly addressed any of Kelly’s pointed remarks.

A few days prior, Megyn made headlines for another high-profile celebrity critique, this time body-shaming Ariana Grande while dismissing her political opinions. On her YouTube show, Kelly claimed the pop star “looks dangerously thin” and implied Grande’s troubled Nickelodeon past leaves her unqualified to comment on Trump impeachment, even referencing the notorious “Quiet on Set” docuseries that spotlighted the sexualization of young stars. Major outlets like AOL have described Kelly’s words as “straight-up Regina George behavior.”

The political world hasn’t escaped Kelly’s crosshairs either. Enstarz details how Megyn ignited a viral spat with Chelsea Clinton over Texas flood relief, mocking Clinton’s philanthropy efforts as “fake” and accusing the Clinton family of grifting. Clinton responded with pointed civility, inviting Kelly to support relief efforts, which seemed to only heighten social media support for Clinton and pushback against Kelly’s tone.

Equally significant, Kelly broke news on her SiriusXM program announcing a Monday live interview with Rahm Emanuel, floating him as a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender. This high-profile slot, highlighted in her social posts, keeps The Megyn Kelly Show on the radar for big political booking and analysis.

Meanwhile, on her primary platforms—including recent shows and her active Instagram presence—Kelly has tackled a string of splashy topics from the fallout of CBS canceling Stephen Colbert’s Late Show, which she called a “nail in the coffin for legacy media,” to boosting conservative opinions on menopause and family values, as seen in her recent interviews with FDA Commissioner Marty Makary and reaction to Scottie Scheffler’s viral comments about fulfillment in life.

On the lifestyle front, Kelly’s social media posts on July 22 show her in a flurry of Manhattan activity hosting top guests Rahm Emanuel and Mark Halperin for her show recordings, drawing thousands of likes and plenty of buzz. It’s a stretch of commentary, confrontation, and headline-making that cements Megyn Kelly as one of America’s most pointedly polarizing—and closely watched—commentators this summer.
