In this explosive episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, host Megyn Kelly and guest Maureen Callahan deliver a scathing critique of Hollywood's elite, focusing on Blake Lively's recent legal defeat and her performative behavior at the Met Gala. The conversation reveals that Lively's $400 million lawsuit against Justin Baldoni ended in a humiliating loss—she received no damages and is now seeking to recover legal fees, which would only make her whole, not victorious. Callahan exposes Lively's narcissism through leaked texts showing her orchestrating a coordinated attack on Baldoni with Taylor Swift, including falsely claiming Swift endorsed their actions. The hosts also dissect Lively's public image, highlighting her cruel treatment of a valet at the Met Gala and her use of her children as props, drawing parallels to Meghan Markle's own performative victimhood. The discussion expands to include the toxic dynamics of celebrity culture, with critiques of Taylor Swift's godmother role, the exploitation of children like Blue Ivy and Sunday Rose Kidman, and the absurdity of the Met Gala as a venue for such spectacle. The episode also covers the alleged affair between ESPN reporter Diana Rossini and New England Patriots coach Mike Rabel, the controversial behavior of Don Lemon, and CBS's internal turmoil under new chief Barry Weiss, who is reportedly alienating talent and damaging the network's reputation. The show concludes with a heartfelt tribute to a whistleblower who rescued 1,500 beagles from a cruel testing facility, underscoring the moral complexity of animal testing and activism.

Blake Lively's Legal Defeat and Met Gala Meltdown
“She didn't get one dollar. Now she's making noise about wanting to sue for her attorney's fees. So we'll see how that goes for her. But honestly, even if she were to get those, it would just restore what she spent. It's not a victory.”
The Taylor Swift Text Scandal and Narcissistic Alliance
“You were so epically heroic today. This clown falling for all of it, but also resisting it. You are the world's absolute greatest friend ever. I won the lottery. Swift, I won the lottery. You are the coolest person in the world and you like me.”
The Met Gala as a Stage for Toxic Celebrity Culture
“Who in their right minds thinks that that's some place for a 14-year-old to be? And also for the adults in that room who paid anywhere between $100,000 and $350,000 to be there. They don't want a kid there either.”
The Diana Rossini-Mike Rabel Affair and Marital Betrayal
“She's actively humiliating him for years. When she got engaged to him, she was reportedly having the affair with this guy. Even if my question is, is that child his? I'm going to go ahead and get started.”
Barry Weiss at CBS and the Collapse of News Integrity
The hosts condemn CBS's new chief Barry Weiss for stifling a 60 Minutes piece on immigration detention and allegedly sabotaging reporter Sharon Alfonsi. They argue Weiss lacks journalistic experience and is alienating talent, leading to plummeting ratings and internal chaos.
