*Media personality fight! Don Lemon has launched a blistering attack on Megyn Kelly following her disparaging comments about Joy Reid’s recent exit from MSNBC.
During a recent episode of his YouTube show, Lemon didn’t hold back as he referred to Kelly as a “racist” and a “troll,” while sipping from a mug branded with her former show, “Megyn Kelly Today.”
The feud ignited after Kelly celebrated the cancellation of Reid’s show, “The ReidOut,” labeling her “the absolute worst person on television” in numerous posts on X (formerly Twitter) and her SiriusXM show. Kelly expressed her elation, saying, “We won’t have her to kick around anymore…There’s a little sadness in that.” She further claimed that Reid and her frequent guest, Elie Mystal, deserved to be fired, labeling MSNBC employees as “among the dumbest people” and Reid as “the dumbest and the worst-rated.”
In response to Kelly’s tirade, Lemon went on a passionate diatribe against her, dismissing her statements as hypocritical. “So let me just say to Megyn Kelly – in my thirty-some years as a journalist and my fifty-some years as a person of color – go f*** yourself!” Lemon declared. Visibly infuriated, he managed to flip Kelly’s sentiments back on her, pointing out her past controversies, including her infamous blackface comments that led to her firing from NBC’s Today show in 2018.

Lemon’s comments struck at the heart of the ongoing media feud, which dates back several years. He accused Kelly of having an “axe to grind” against MSNBC and suggested that her career now centers on trolling and disparaging other women. He listed examples of Kelly’s derogatory remarks towards figures such as Selena Gomez and Kaitlan Collins, asserting: “You have to look at the evidence… When she speaks about women, she’s not very supportive.”
Further amplifying his critique, Lemon accused Kelly of employing “right-wing marketing tactics” designed to elevate her profile through confrontational commentary. He remarked that Kelly’s PR strategy promotes clips of her “calling out” others, which he deemed “gauche” and “unseemly.” This assessment reflects a broader critique of media hyperbole, particularly in the current climate of media division.
Lemon’s response also focused on the implications of Kelly’s remarks about Reid, arguing that her words displayed an anti-Black female sentiment. He challenged her assertion of being the arbiter of who is the “worst person on television,” positing that the epitome of that title rightfully belonged to her.
“The worst person? No, Megyn Kelly! The worst person on television was fired from NBC, and that’s Megyn Kelly,” he concluded emphatically.
The back-and-forth between Lemon and Kelly is emblematic of a larger cultural conflict playing out in media spaces, where commentary on race, gender, and representation intersect in fraught and frequently incendiary ways. Their exchanges reflect not only personal animosity but also broader issues within the media landscape regarding accountability, representation, and the narratives constructed around race and gender dynamics.
Kelly has yet to publicly respond to Lemon’s latest outburst, leaving fans on social media eager for her take on this round of the conflict. Many are polarized in their reactions; while some view Lemon as a voice of reason standing up against a prominent antagonist, others argue that the exchange is simply an extension of media drama that fails to address more significant societal issues.
In an era where social media amplifies voices and contentious interactions, the Lemon-Kelly feud captivates audiences drawn to the ongoing narrative of celebrity clashes.
As personalities vie for dominance in an increasingly polarized media environment, their exchanges illustrate how old grievances can resurface and how the public discourse around race and gender remains highly charged.
This encounter between Don Lemon and Megyn Kelly marks another chapter in the ongoing saga of media rivalries. With each provocative statement, they contribute to a dialogue that raises questions about responsibility, representation, and the impact of their words.
As the discourse evolves, one thing remains clear: the back-and-forth between these media figures is far from over, and audiences will be watching closely to see how the narrative unfolds in the weeks to come.
