🚨 Hollywood Showdown: Megyn Kelly FIRES BACK at George Clooney’s Critique—’You’re Not Fooling Anyone’!
In a fiery exchange that has captivated Hollywood and media circles alike, Megyn Kelly has sharply rebuked George Clooney after the actor questioned her journalistic credentials. The confrontation unfolded during Clooney’s conversation with actress Patti LuPone for Variety’s “Actors on Actors” series, where he remarked, “I’m not quite sure what she’s done to be a journalist.” Clooney, who is portraying Edward R. Murrow in the Broadway adaptation of Good Night, and Good Luck, also included a video montage featuring Kelly in his play, prompting her to respond.
🔥 Megyn Kelly’s Scathing Retort
On the April 23 episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly did not hold back. She accused Clooney of “cowardice” and “naked partisanship” for delaying his public criticism of President Biden until after the 2024 presidential debate. Kelly argued that Clooney’s op-ed in The New York Times urging Biden to step aside lacked journalistic integrity, stating, “That’s not journalism, George — it’s cowardice and naked partisanship. You’re not fooling anyone.”
Further criticizing Clooney’s portrayal of journalism in his Broadway play, Kelly contended that he was lecturing the audience on journalistic standards without understanding the realities of the profession. She remarked, “He’s starring in a play about Edward R. Murrow because Clooney fancies himself a journalist, you see, and has lots of thoughts on how journalists need to do journalism.”
🎭 Clooney’s Defense and Kelly’s Counterattack
In his defense, Clooney stated that he wasn’t claiming to be a journalist and emphasized that the video montage in his play used Kelly’s own words without manipulation. He also highlighted his own experiences reporting from conflict zones like Darfur and Sudan
Kelly, however, dismissed Clooney’s defense, suggesting that his return to Broadway was a result of diminishing opportunities in Hollywood. She quipped, “By the way, what’s the matter, George? Are the Hollywood roles getting a little hard to come by as you age and get decidedly more smug and self-congratulatory?”
📰 Public Reactions and Media Coverage
The public has been divided in its response to the feud. Some support Kelly’s defense of journalistic integrity, while others question her own credentials. The media has extensively covered the exchange, with outlets like The New York Post and The Wrap highlighting Kelly’s 11-minute tirade and Clooney’s subsequent defense.
