Megyn Kelly says that Blake Lively tried to drag her into her headline-grabbing legal tussle with Justin Baldoni.
Kelly unloaded on Lively during her show on Thursday, ripping the actress as a “pathetic, untalented, narcissistic bully” while touting a courtroom win in Lively’s ongoing legal clash with Baldoni.
The former Fox News star said her team successfully fought off subpoenas from Lively’s camp, which had sought Kelly’s private communications as part of Baldoni’s lawsuit.
“She backed down and has now missed the deadline to pursue her harassment of me and my team any further,” Kelly declared on her SiriusXM show on Thursday.
“We gave her absolutely nothing. Not one document, not one record, not one communication.”
Kelly framed the victory as a First Amendment issue, blasting Lively’s attorneys for even trying.
“No world would I ever, ever allow my team’s communications to be turned over to a third party,” she said.
Kelly claimed Lively cannot accept that public criticism of her has grown organically, and instead imagines a smear campaign orchestrated by Baldoni.
Kelly mocked the idea, saying she didn’t need anyone’s influence to conclude Lively is “a terrible person.”
She rattled off a list of grievances from people who had allegedly clashed with Lively over the years.
Barbara Suzman, an assistant director on “A Simple Favor,” supposedly said Lively was the reason she quit the film industry. A former “Gossip Girl” staffer claimed Lively mistreated co-star Leighton Meester while acting dismissive toward fans.
“She’s a narcissistic, liar, bully, brat,” Kelly said.
“Blake Lively acts like an unlikeable bully brat who cannot believe any of that negative press could be genuine.”
Kelly also accused Lively of parachuting her best friend into a role in “It Ends With Us” and trying to seize control of the production. She claimed Lively leaned on her “dragons” — Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift — to shield her from accountability.
Despite the star’s glossy image, Kelly insisted Hollywood insiders know the truth.
“This is yet another entitled, nasty Hollywood snob who thinks she is untouchable,” she said, vowing never to “back down to the likes of Blake Lively.”
Kelly ended the tirade with a jab: “If you’re not speaking out against her, you must be on her payroll.”
Lively’s representatives did not respond to comment.
