Former Fox News personality Megyn Kelly just savaged CNN\u2019s recently demoted Don Lemon during a segment of her Sirius XM podcast on Friday, saying that Fox News certainly would have fired anyone who acted like Lemon did.<\/p>\n
For reference, Lemon recently got outed as having screamed at his female co-host, Kaitlin Collins, for \u201cinterrupting\u201d him during their program. Apparently, Lemon\u2019s outburst was so severe and vicious that it left the entire crew rattled and Collins in tears..<\/p>\n
The New York Post, reporting on that, said \u201cAccording to two sources with knowledge of the situation, the 56-year-old Lemon approached 30-year-old Collins following the show\u2019s Thursday, Dec. 8 broadcast \u2014 and unloaded on her in front of staffers as he accused her of \u201cinterrupting\u201d him on air.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ripping into Lemon on her show, Kelly played a few clips of Collins interrupting Lemon during the program that supposedly led to the screaming, saying \u201cOh, okay. So there was some interrupting. It happens when you co-host a show, it happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
Continuing, she used her own personal experience with interruptions to note that cohosts accidentally interrupting each other isn\u2019t a big deal and is something that just happens. She also noted that, even if it tends to get on your nerves, the exact thing not to do is start screaming at that person because doing so is incredibly unprofessional. In her words:<\/p>\n
\u201cI co-hosted a show with Bill Hemmer for three years. I was on the air with Bret Baier more times than I can count. And sometimes somebody gets on your nerves. What you don\u2019t do is scream at them after the fact. Later you say, oh, we stepped on each other. It\u2019s all about servicing the audience, if you\u2019re a professional.\u201d<\/p>\n
That wasn\u2019t all. Kelly continued to rip into Lemon over the story, throwing some insults his way and saying that men interrupt too. In her words:<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re a douchebag, you scream at the woman next to you and blame it on her. Again, I\u2019ve co-hosted more hours than I can count with a lot of guys with big egos, appropriately big egos. And never, never has, have I screamed at a colleague after like a co-host or had him scream at me.\u201d<\/p>\n
She then noted that she and her fellow co-hosts have \u201chad charged disagreements\u201d but that those never got out of hand and turned into screaming matches, saying:<\/p>\n
\u201cHad a charged disagreement with Chris Wallace one time. We\u2019re never screaming at each other, and you pick it up right after. If somebody ever screamed at me to the point where I was visibly upset and ran out of the studio, I would have that person fired. I would make sure that person was fired.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kelly then argued that this likely wasn\u2019t the first time Lemon had screamed at a co-host, saying:<\/p>\n
\u201cIf that is true, The New York Post\u2018s report, Jesse, then I will say that\u2019s not the first time he\u2019s done it. I will go out on a limb right now and tell you: that\u2019s not the first time. There will be another woman, if The New York Post digs, who he\u2019s co-anchored with, I guarantee you, who\u2019s going to come out and say Me Too.\u201d<\/p>\n
