Megyn Kelly BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
In the last few days Megyn Kelly has made headlines for both her signature sharp commentary and bold business moves. Most notably Kelly just announced the launch of a new true crime podcast network called MK True Crime set to debut August 5. She described this expansion of her MK Media empire as a natural fit given her legal background. The channel will feature twice-weekly original content including courtroom coverage, legal analysis, live trial commentary, and contributions from high-profile legal experts like Mark Geragos and Ashleigh Merchant. Kelly told TheWrap that this venture brings together many fan-favorite legal contributors and will make for must-see content when legal news breaks. This marks the latest milestone for her media business which now boasts multiple hit podcasts and hundreds of millions of monthly views across platforms according to Barrett Media.
Simultaneously Kelly has kept herself in the news as a headline-grabbing commentator. Her recent coverage of the Bryan Kohberger sentencing has dominated her flagship Megyn Kelly Show, as she dissected newly released police and coroner documents, criticized law enforcement transparency, and spotlighted emerging details of the Idaho college murders case. Both Apple Podcasts and iHeart have highlighted these recent episodes, underlining their relevance in true crime circles.
On the pop culture front Kelly found herself at the center of a viral feud with Kerstin Emhoff, producer and ex-wife of the Second Gentleman, after Kelly criticized Jennifer Lopez’s recent performance in Spain. This feud quickly spilled across X with both women trading pointed barbs and the incident drawing attention from outlets such as Sportskeeda and on her own show, where the hosts of Ruthless Podcast supported Kelly’s position. Kelly’s comments branding Lopez as acting like a soft porn star reignited discussions about pop culture standards and sparked widespread social media reactions.
Kelly’s social media activity shows no sign of slowing down. Her Instagram reels continue to rack up tens of thousands of likes, with recent clips including jabs at Stephen Colbert and late-night TV’s declining impact, as well as behind-the-scenes peeks with prominent guests in her glowing red studio. She passed 1,100 episodes of her show, featuring interviews with newsmakers from Matt Taibbi to Rahm Emanuel. Throughout, Kelly remains skillful at leveraging controversy and big stories to her advantage, deftly blending legal news, cultural critique, and media entrepreneurship into a newsmaking formula few others rival. No evidence suggests any significant change in her biographical trajectory—if anything the true crime venture and viral social media skirmishes only reinforce her place as a provocative center of gravity in the media world.
