Megyn Kelly BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
This week has been one of the busiest and most talked-about in my career lately, with a blizzard of headlines and a few headline-making episodes that bring together news, culture, and controversy. Let me start with the biggest development: my six-part investigative series “Megyn Kelly Investigates: The Disappearance of Baby Lisa,” which just dropped its latest and perhaps most emotional follow-up episode. I revisited this infamous, unsolved case—one I first covered 13 years ago. I spent the last three years interviewing original and newly uncovered witnesses, even deploying CIA “human lie detector” Phil Houston to parse new testimony. Behind the mic, I shared the emotional impact of returning to this story as both a reporter and a mother. This series has generated significant discussion on social media, with followers sharing theories and pushing for law enforcement to take renewed interest. The visuals showing what Baby Lisa might look like today hit a nerve with viewers all over the country, driving waves of tips and social media shares, especially on Twitter and Instagram according to data from my show's platforms. While the mystery endures, what matters is that, for the first time in years, the case is getting fresh national engagement.
The news cycle followed me right into the culture war trenches. I weighed in on the horrifying Minneapolis Catholic school mass shooting, calling out what I see as corporate media’s double standard and reluctance to discuss the suspect’s background. As I wrote on my website and echoed on my show this week, the media’s refusal to acknowledge “trans reality” in coverage left me frustrated and provoked substantial backlash and debate online, making headlines of its own.
Then, the podcast world caught fire when I revealed that Blake Lively had subpoenaed me in her messy lawsuit with Justin Baldoni. I was among over a dozen podcasters and journalists targeted by Lively for negative commentary, with Ms. Lively claiming that I must be on Baldoni’s payroll because I criticized her. I set the record straight—no one is paying me for my opinions, thank you very much. My analysis got picked up fast, sparking a fresh round of Hollywood-versus-media discourse on X, Instagram, and nearly every major pop culture feed.
And on the lighter side, in my “Shorts” video series on YouTube, I joked about everything from Carl’s Jr.’s Super Bowl ads to viral internet trends, racking up big engagement for The Megyn Kelly Show. All of this ran against a backdrop of growth for Devil May Care Media, as I announced the hiring of Hope Hicks as our new COO—a move that, if industry chatter is any indication, could have long-term impact for my business brand and the conservative media landscape as a whole.
So, whether it was pushing the needle on cold cases, making headlines on hot-button issues, or becoming the story in Hollywood legal drama, I managed yet again to stay in the center of the national conversation, proving that wherever the action is in news, culture, or controversy, you’ll find Megyn Kelly right in the thick of it.
