Add The New York Post on Google Ex-CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin blasted Megyn Kelly for airing “lies” about her sex life by falsely claiming that Baldwin admitted to sleeping with four men, when the former journo actually said she had rejected their advances.
In a Substack post Sunday , Baldwin said she was flying to Los Angeles last week when she got a call from someone asking about an incident involving her and Kelly – but she had no idea what the person was talking about.
“That is how I discovered that Megyn Kelly had devoted nearly nine minutes of her show this week to my most recent Substack – one she falsely claimed was about my having ‘casual sex,’” Baldwin, 47, wrote.
“And as I sat there, heart pounding, stomach churning, suddenly feeling sick, I realized that she got the story completely wrong. Not a little wrong. The entire premise. Wrong. Most astoundingly, she cited me as the source,” added Baldwin, who was previously married to British producer James Fletcher before filing for divorce in 2023 .
In a podcast episode that has since been made private, Kelly, 55, told her 4 million subscribers and guest co-hosts from the “Ruthless” podcast that Baldwin used to be a “serious news anchor,” but now “Her work and her mission include banging four men in a month.”
Baldwin had opened up about her sex life , saying she’s “pretty damn good” in bed and recently found herself fielding attention from four men on a dating app – including one who “used to run a country” and another who “literally flew in just to take me to dinner.”
But the veteran broadcaster had clearly stated that she “Turned them all down. Every. Single. One” – a clarification that was excluded from Kelly’s segment.
“My last Substack was not about me having casual sex. It was about me choosing not to,” Baldwin wrote on Sunday. “And yet, for nearly nine minutes, Megyn framed an entire discussion around a false account of my sex life and my bodily choices, alongside three men who cackled, laughed, and berated me.”
Baldwin noted that Kelly also posted the false claims to her “many other social media and podcast accounts, and broadcast on SiriusXM,” adding that the lies “were clipped, posted, and syndicated by other outlets…[who] also never bothered to read my original Substack.”
“This is Journalism 101,” Baldwin said. “Instead, this is how a lie gets multiplied and multiplied and multiplied. And this is how reputations are ruined.”
Kelly later admitted that she hadn’t read Baldwin’s full post as she walked back her incorrect claim – while also doubling down on her criticism of the former network anchor.
“Well, as it turns out, we should have paid to read the rest of her stupid Substack, which we didn’t, because, who gives a s–t about Brooke Baldwin, to be honest?” Kelly said.
“And in the paid pieces of the article, she confesses she actually did not have casual sex with these men! It was all just a teaser to get you to pay to listen to her lame recitations about her life.”
Earlier this month, Baldwin revealed on her Substack that she believes she was sexually assaulted after two older men allegedly slipped something into her drink during a spring break trip to Los Angeles when she was 21.
Baldwin claimed that she woke up on the bathroom floor of the Chateau Marmont hotel next to a man she did not know after two men offered to buy her a drink at a Beverly Hills bar.
The former CNN anchor has also alleged that her exit from the network was not entirely voluntary, claiming in a 2024 Vanity Fair essay that then-CNN president Jeff Zucker “wanted me out” after he denied her request to move a “bullying” producer off her team.
