Brooke Baldwin Fires Back at Megyn Kelly Over Misrepresented Dating Claims
Megyn Kelly publicly mischaracterized former CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin's Substack essay, asserting that Baldwin's "work and her mission include banging four men in a month." Baldwin's essay, published in July 2026, actually noted she had the opportunity to sleep with four men but said she turned down every offer. Kelly made the remarks on the "Ruthless" podcast, also referencing Baldwin's 2023 divorce from British film producer James Fletcher.
Baldwin responded in an Instagram video posted on Sunday, July 26, 2026, calling Kelly's statements a reckless disregard for the truth and demanding an apology. She announced that her lawyers would seek to have the videos removed, emphasizing the falsehood of the claims and the impact on her reputation.
