Don Lemon Challenges Megyn Kelly Over Joy Reid's MSNBC Departure: "Go F*** Yourself!"

Joy Reid’s departure from MSNBC has sparked a wave of reactions, especially from conservative commentators who have taken the opportunity to criticize her on social media. One notable voice in this conversation is Megyn Kelly, a former host at Fox News, who has been vocal about her disapproval of Reid’s past comments on her news show.

Recently, following rumors that Reid was being let go from the network, Kelly celebrated the news online. She reminded her followers of a moment when Reid dismissed the concerns of "white women" by mocking what she called "white women’s tears." Kelly’s post was filled with sarcasm as she asked who was crying now and called Reid "the absolute worst person on television." She expressed disappointment with NBC for allowing Reid to stay on the air for so long.

Kelly didn’t stop there; she also shared a video of Reid visibly upset during an interview after her final show. In another post, she pointed out that Reid has often belittled the emotions of white people she deemed responsible for what she called imaginary racial injustices. Kelly claimed that Reid showed no sympathy toward those she helped "cancel" and that now she was seeking pity for herself, a sentiment Kelly firmly rejected.

In response to Kelly’s comments, Don Lemon, also a prominent figure in the media, defended Reid during his own YouTube show. He countered Kelly’s claims by stating that the real "worst person on television" had been Kelly herself, who was dismissed from NBC after making controversial remarks about blackface in Halloween costumes back in 2018.

Lemon’s remarks took a pointed turn as he questioned the authenticity of Kelly’s criticisms, suggesting that if she had truly learned from her past actions, she wouldn’t spend so much time making racially charged statements. He expressed disappointment in how Kelly has continued to behave and reminded her that people reveal their true selves over time, implying that her behavior speaks volumes about her character.

He ended his remarks directed at Kelly with a strong message, emphasizing that, after years in journalism and as a person of color, he had little respect left for her.

The discourse didn’t stop there. Keith Olbermann, another commentator, echoed Lemon’s sentiments on social media, directly telling Kelly to "go f*** yourself."

Additionally, Meghan McCain, a former co-host from "The View," joined in the celebration of Reid’s exit. She shared her thoughts on social media, calling Reid hateful and saying that her departure was a positive outcome.

The entire situation showcases the ongoing tensions and divisive opinions in the media landscape, with differing views on Joy Reid’s legacy and influence. As Reid moves on from MSNBC, the reactions to her departure highlight the polarized nature of contemporary news commentary and the fierce battles fought in the digital space.
