Megyn Kelly's True Colors Shining Through

"...I see your true colors shining through..." —lyrics by Cyndi Lauper from True Colors

The next line in the song of course was, "And that's why I love you." But when it comes to former Fox News Anchor of 13 years, Megyn Kelly, who now works for NBC, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of love going on there.

At Fox she was a star of sorts. She ran a tight show and seemed to hold fairly conservative values, and she held her guests to the fire when she felt the need to. Something I think she learned fast at Fox was a solid recipe for good ratings based on the success of Bill O'Reilly's top rated The Factor, on which she was a frequent guest, and really where she got her start.

The writing seemed to be on the wall, though, once Donald J. Trump entered the presidential race, and this was the beginning of Megyn Kelly's show of her true colors. It was clear very early on that she was not a fan of Trump, and even while there were many republicans and conservatives on the fence in the beginning, that ship was sailing fast, and the popularity of Trump was gaining while Megyn's constant criticisms of Trump were fast becoming tiresome...

And vindictive. Let's not forget that she really started to go after the now president after a rift formed between them during a now rather famous exchange during a presidential debate she was a moderator of.

Now on NBC, she seems to be having trouble making a name for herself. Her ratings have been abysmal at best even if her ratings have made some gains since she first appeared on the network.

I rarely watched her show on Fox. But I did see her often on The Factor, and while I thought she was certainly a beautiful woman, and found that most of the time I agreed with much of her stance on issues, there was an underlying feeling about her that if I knew her in person...

I might not actually like her.

She just, for whatever reason, always came off to me as someone who would be in a room and think she was the brightest, biggest person there—the most important person there. And for most people that doesn't make for high accolades.

Now it is coming out, as Megyn Kelly has been quite vocal in the #metoo movement, and has championed herself as being for women, that perhaps she is not quite as nice, or pro-woman as she has lead people to believe.

One hairdresser from her days at Fox, for example, pointed out that Megyn literally ousted someone from her chair demanding she be taken care of first, going as far as to point her finger at the woman saying, "Out of the chair."

Megyn Kelly has said she left Fox for a number of reasons. The Roger Ailes stuff, for example, and she even spoke out against Bill O'Reilly himself. The Trump stuff. But more and more I am thinking she may have been politely asked to leave Fox due to her antics. And interestingly enough, she is starting more and more to seem more like the personality of Hillary Clinton the more you dive into her interactions, especially with the very women she so champions the cause of.

She has a three year contract with NBC, and I think it will be interesting to see whether or not she gets renewed when it comes up for renewal. I am very much thinking that her ship cannot be righted, she is making enemies at NBC for a variety of reasons, and her days there may well be numbered.

What she does after that is anyone's guess. She's made millions between Fox and NBC over the years. Perhaps retirement is the next best move for her. It may as well be for us.
