Megyn Kelly's TV life is seemingly crumbling right before our eyes amid the blackface controversy. Too bad so sad. Deets inside...
#Blackfacegate continues!
Megyn Kelly is feeling the heat after she defended the use of blackface for Halloween costumes during a recent episode NBC’s "Megyn Kelly Today." The former FOX talking head tried to backtrack, bringing Roland Martin on her show to school folks on the origins of blackface. She also offered up an apology to her NBC colleagues and apologized at the top of her show yesterday (with Roland Martin), but that isn't enough.
She wasn't on the "TODAY" show this morning, she has parted ways with CAA, and the "House of Cards" guests backed out on an appearance.
Megyn was MIA for her 9AM show this morning and she won't be on there tomorrow either. Deadline reports she's looking to make a return to her "harder news roots," after the blackface debacle. The network aired a rerun of one of her show's that focused on sleep deprivation.
“Given the circumstances, Megyn Kelly Today will be on tape the rest of the week,” a spokesperson told Deadline.
It's reported Megyn met with NBC executives to discuss the future of her NBC show.
The former Fox News primetime star is no longer a client of CAA and had planned to move to UTA, but that all went down the drain by her blackface comments. She left CAA and was looking to sign with UTA, but the agency doesn't want to proceed with bringing her on as a client. Bloop.
Since she's no longer going to UTA, she has instead retained leading Hollywood attorney Bryan Freedman as she is likely entering settlement talks with NBC, according to Deadline. This signals her show might (finally) be a wrap.
Adding fuel to the fire...
Netflix has confirmed some of the cast and EPs from "House of Cards" backed out for an appearance on her morning show amid the blackface backlash. "House of Cards" actor Michael Kelly and show-runners Frank Pugliese and Melissa James Gibson decided to skip out on promoting the show.
Welp. Let the white tears fall...
