A catfight is brewing between Megyn Kelly and CNN’s rising star Kaitlan Collins who the former Fox News anchor accused of being a “cold-hearted b****” in some of her most recent interviews.
Kelly, a celebrated conservative who now hosts her own show on SiriusXM, appeared on HBO’s “Real Time” with host Bill Maher to scold the 32-year-old for being a lackluster personality at the mainstream network. It’s clear from her words that Kelly is not buying the hype around Collins since she shot to fame after hosting a controversial town hall last year with former President Donald Trump. “I will submit to the record, her biggest sin is not that she is biased, though she is, it’s that she has a boring personality,” Kelly told Maher.

Going on, she offered some unsolicited tips that she claimed Collins should follow if she wants to emulate the success that she had while at Fox. “I have a pro tip for her: Smile. Try smiling. Try not to be in your delivery like such a cold-hearted b—h all the time, because it gives people nothing to bond to,” she told Maher in a clip obtained by the New York Post. Kelly also mocked the notion that Collins is a “star” at all. “I’m sorry, but she’s only a star with the leftists,” she added. The 53-year-old also sounded doubtful about Collins’s sincerity when it came to describing her “conservative” upbringing in Alabama. “I’m from Alabama, I’m from a very red state, I have a very conservative family, a lot of them who are Trump voters, they watch my show every night, and they know that they can trust me, that we call bulls–t on every side,” Collins told Maher on Friday.
“I feel like I can speak with authority on this,” Kelly continued, dismissing the idea that a red-state childhood somehow makes Collins a “fair and balanced reporter.” CNN declined to comment on the allegation.

Turmoil at CNN has opened rungs in the corporate ladder once inaccessible to young reporters like Collins who shot from correspondent to nighttime anchor in just a matter of months. Plummeting ratings and changeover in the network’s executive leadership, as well as the shuttering of its opinion department and subscription service, have CEO Mark Thompson desperately seeking out new opportunities for growth. Kelly said the problem is emblematic of a wider disregard for legacy media outlets, adding that “The Megyn Kelly Show” on satellite radio now boasts over 1 billion views on her YouTube channel. “That is why alternative media … have done so well, because people are sick of this s***,” Kelly said, panning CNN’s bias. “They can’t stand being force-fed this nonsense by these mainstream media outlets.”
