Megyn Kelly reveals the real reason for her controversial departure, shaking the media landscape with her explosive revelations. Former NBC News anchor Megyn Kelly has finally disclosed the reasons behind her controversial exit from the network, shedding light on a heated dispute over investigative reporting on Harvey Weinstein as the catalyst for her ousting.

Kelly recounts a pivotal moment where she challenged a memo from NBC’s chairman, Andy Lack, exposing discrepancies in the network’s handling of the Weinstein story. According to Kelly, her commitment to journalistic integrity ultimately led to her departure from NBC, sparking debates about corporate influence and the suppression of investigative journalism within major media organizations.

In a candid revelation, Megyn Kelly has opened up about the circumstances surrounding her highly publicized exit from NBC News, offering a glimpse into the inner workings of the network and the struggles faced by journalists in today’s media landscape.

Kelly pinpointed a significant disagreement over NBC’s handling of investigative reporting on Harvey Weinstein as the catalyst for her departure. She recalled challenging a memo issued by then-chairman Andy Lack, which denied the network had sufficient evidence to proceed with a story on Weinstein, the Hollywood mogul accused of numerous sexual misconduct allegations.

“[I] went on the airwaves one day and I did not criticize my boss, but I did put the lie to a memo he had put out claiming NBC did not have the reporting on Harvey Weinstein. And that’s why they spiked Ronan Farrow’s devastating report on Harvey,” Kelly explained.

Kelly’s decision to challenge the network’s narrative on Weinstein marked the beginning of the end of her tenure at NBC. “Totally coincidentally, three weeks later I lost my show,” she stated, linking her departure not to the publicly cited “comment about Halloween costumes” but to her decision to challenge the network’s narrative.

NBC faced criticism for its handling of the Harvey Weinstein story, particularly after journalist Ronan Farrow’s departure from the network and subsequent publication of his findings in The New Yorker. Farrow had been investigating Weinstein for allegations of sexual assault and harassment, but NBC decided not to air his story, citing concerns about its journalistic standards.

Kelly’s account sheds light on broader issues within NBC News at the time, including a struggle over the suppression of investigative journalism and the protection of powerful figures. Her revelations have reignited debates about journalistic integrity and the role of corporate interests in shaping news coverage.
