Megyn Kelly Names Meanest Celebrities
Megyn Kelly left Fox News in 2017 for a job hosting her own show on NBC. But her time there was cut short. She left after two years to become an independent journalist with her The Megyn Kelly Show podcast. She has the freedom on the podcast to say whatever she wants without worrying about network head honchos. But just because you can say whatever you want, doesn’t mean you should.
The former NBC anchor recently did an interview with The Daily Mail about her broadcasting career. The journalist did countless interviews during her career. She looked back on the A-list stars who weren’t as nice as the public perceives them.
In a shocking rebuke, she said that actor Bruce Willis was one of the worst celebrities she ever interviewed. She claimed that the actor was “ungiving” and “ungenerous” during an interview on Fox News.
“He … was just clearly so unhappy to be there,” Megyn Kelly said. “I mean, that’s fine, he has his politics, but why agree to come on?”
The journalist admitted that she hated saying those things about him after his shocking health struggles.

- “The pot calling the kettle black.”
- “She’s the new queen of mean.”

Bruce Willis’s Wife Opens Up About Holidays Without Him
Bruce Willis’s family, including his former wife Demi Moore, occasionally shares updates on his health. His second wife, Emma Heming Willis, took to her blog to reflect on the recent holidays without her husband. The family decided to move the actor to a nearby home in Los Angeles, California, with round-the-clock care.
“For me, the holidays carry memories of Bruce being at the center of it all. He loved this time of year- the energy, family time, the traditions. He was the pancake-maker, the get-out-in-the-snow-with-the-kids guy, the steady presence moving through the house as the day unfolded. There was comfort in the routine of knowing exactly how the day would go, especially since I’m a creature of habit. Dementia doesn’t erase those memories. But it does create space between then and now,” Emma Heming Willis wrote.
