Let this be a warning: if you come for Megyn Kelly, she will bring up completely irrelevant things from your past to make a point.
On this morning’s installment of Megyn Kelly Today, the host decided to give us “a word on Jane Fonda,” who Kelly believes is “fixated on an exchange” they shared months ago. If you need a refresher, allow us to fill you in: while Fonda was promoting her film Our Souls at Night, Kelly decided it was a good moment to bring up the fact that Fonda had undergone plastic surgery. Fonda, clearly not thrilled about discussing this when she was on air to promote a film, shot back: “We really wanna talk about that right now?”
Since then, Fonda has discussed why she responded the way that she did (“it was the wrong time and the place to raise that question”) and most recently made a playful jab at Kelly when Lily Tomlin jested about Fonda’s facelift while promoting Grace and Frankie. This, it seemed, was too much for Kelly, and the host decided it was “time to address the ‘poor me’ routine.”
Kelly then went on to try to give context about the fact that Fonda was on the show to promote a film about aging, had openly discussed her plastic surgery plenty of times in plenty of places in the past, and had something of an obligation to be upfront about it if she wanted to be a cultural face to older women as she has claimed. Kelly then ran a reel consisting of clips featuring Fonda discussing her plastic surgery, and that’s when she really decided to go in.
