Megyn Kelly has established herself as a true presence in media over the course of her long journalistic career. Despite her divisive takes, she has made her mark in the industry over the course of two decades.

In the latest news involving the former NBC anchor, Kelly recently weighed in on the results of the 2025 World’s Strongest Woman contest. The winner, Jammie Booker, is a transgender woman, and her victory caused a stir in the community because she is a biological male. Many within the field have denounced Booker’s victory and hail the runner-up, Andrea Thompson, as the event’s true champion. Some applaud Booker’s bravery.

Once the news began to circulate online, Megyn Kelly weighed in via a post on X. She reposted a video showing Thompson storming off from the trophy presentation and added the following message,

“World’s Strongest Woman is now literally a man. You can’t make it up”

Notably, this is not the first time Kelly has been critical of the trans community. She also recently took to X and reacted strongly to the news of a trans woman being appointed to the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women.

"Men make the best women, we all know that."

This seemingly speaks to a pattern of behavior from Kelly on the matter.


Megyn Kelly interviews Erika Kirk

In other news, Megyn Kelly recently interviewed the wife of the late Charlie Kirk, Erika Kirk, in an episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, which is available on YouTube. In the heartbreaking interview, Erika shares that the couple was planning on expanding their family.

"We wanted to have four. And I was praying to God that I was pregnant when he got murdered... That would be the ultimate blessing out of this catastrophe. Now when I see young couples I tell them 'please don't put it off.'"

In her unexpected, yet refreshingly candid conversation with Megyn Kelly, Erika Kirk went on to add,

“So, now when I see young couples, I tell them, ‘Please, don’t put it off.’ Especially if you’re a young woman. Don’t put it off, you can always have a career, you can always, you know, go back to work. You can never just go back to having children. And they grow so fast and so quickly.”

Before his passing, Charlie and Erika Kirk were parents to two children, a son and a daughter.
