Megyn Kelly is having a rough first week on her new NBC morning show, Page Six reports. And they’re being kind.
Jane Fonda was not impressed when Kelly brought up the actress’ plastic surgery during an interview on Wednesday.
“You’ve been an example to everyone in how to age beautifully and with strength and unapologetically,” Kelly said, complimenting the legend before adding, “You admit you’ve had work done, which I think is to your credit, but you look amazing. I read that you said you felt you’re not proud to admit that you’ve had work done. Why not?”
The 79-year-old star shot back, “We really want to talk about that now?”
Kelly pressed on with one more compliment.
“Well, one of the things people think about when they look at you is how amazing you look,” she said.
“Good attitude, good posture, I take care of myself. But let me tell you why I love this movie that we did, ‘Our Souls at Night,’ rather than plastic surgery,” Fonda replied, shutting down the topic for good.
The awkward interview comes just one day after Debra Messing said she “regretted going on” Kelly’s show. During the “Will & Grace” cast interview on Monday, Kelly controversially joked with a superfan, “Is it true that you became a lawyer, and you became gay, because of Will?”
Page Six exclusively reported this week that insiders were confused by Kelly’s new show, “Megyn Kelly Today,” which airs during the 9 a.m. hour of the “Today” show.
One insider quipped, “They spent all that money on this great political anchor and journalist. If you take those things away, what are you paying for?”
