Megyn Kelly on Leaving Fox News: After Trump Attacks, ‘I Did Not Want to Live Like This’

Megyn Kelly on Leaving Fox News: After Trump Attacks, ‘I Did Not Want to Live Like This’ (Mediaite)

Megyn Kelly joined Ellen DeGeneres on Wednesday to promote her upcoming morning show, and of course, they discussed the former Fox News anchor’s rocky relationship with President Trump.

When the two discussed why Kelly decided to leave Fox News, she said she wasn’t happy inside the “snake pit” of politically-driven cable news primetime TV. As Kelly spoke about how she used to ponder the course of her career, she said that Trump “has a way of clarifying one’s life choices.”

Kelly became one of Trump’s most frequent punching bags during the 2016 election after she asked him a tough question on his objectionable past comments about women during a political debate. Kelly withstood Trump’s insults and angry tweeting for several months, and Degeneres asked her today if those attacks led Kelly to make a change.
