Episode Details

By the end of 2016, former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly was a “newly-minted feminist icon” according to Vanity Fair. It was strange but true, if you didn’t look closely. The year prior, Megyn had become the primary focus of presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s sexist ire and helped topple a media dynasty when she came forward as a survivor of Fox chairman Roger Ailes. But the world has changed a lot in a decade, and so has Megyn Kelly. Today, we examine how Variety’s “Power of Women” 2016 honoree became the most vicious crusader against women who come forward, a champion for the president who abused her, and someone unrecognizable to her former self.
