Megyn Kelly Reacts to Being Portrayed by Charlize Theron in 'Bombshell'

Megyn Kelly is reacting to being played by Charlize Theron in the upcoming Bombshell.

During a recent interview, the 48-year-old former NBC News talk show host admitted she “didn’t know anything about” the film, but doesn’t seem to mind being played by the 44-year-old Oscar-winning actress.

“I’m her fan,” Megyn shared with Daily Mail. “She seems smart, seems like a good mom, so I could do worse.”

Bombshell chronicles the downfall of Roger Ailes and the Fox News sexual harassment scandal from the point of view of Megyn, Gretchen Carlson and Kayla Pospisil – the women directly impacted by the scandal.

As to whether or not she’ll watch the film, Megyn told the news outlet, “I haven’t decided yet.”

Charlize stars in the film alongside Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie, Kate McKinnon, Allison Janney, and John Lithgow.

“Listen, I have blackface 24/7 so it is never an issue for me. I thought Andy Lack, who runs NBC, summed it up very nicely when he said it was a very unfortunate thing,” she said.

“I think [Megyn]’s a very smart cookie, very smart at what she does, but I think she clearly stepped in it. She made a terrible mistake. And I was surprised that she would make a mistake of that kind because she’s very smart.”

“And I didn’t like it when she said Santa Claus is white. She said a couple of things,” she later added.
