Last night, while I was watching Hawk on YouTube, I happened to catch former Fox News pundit, Megyn Kelly’s, comments about the sentence British actor, comedian, and convicted rapist, Russell Brand, got this week. Brand, who was found guilty of rape and sexual assault last week, was sentenced to ten and a half years in prison. Megyn Kelly says the sentence is much too harsh, and Brand is being targeted because he’s “conservative”.
I don’t actually know much about Russell Brand or his court case. I believe I saw him in just one movie, the remake of Arthur, which came out in 2011. I watched that movie, which was a huge mistake, since I love the original, which starred the late Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli. I found Russell Brand’s performance as Arthur really paled in comparison, although the story was slightly different in the remake. Brand is also notable for being singer Katy Perry’s ex husband. They were married for about two years.
Fifteen years on from that movie, Brand has become a conservative icon who rubs elbows with other conservatives and pushes conspiracy theories. He attended Turning Point USA events, the Republican National Convention, and seems particularly aligned with Robert Kennedy Jr.’s ridiculous healthcare schemes. And now he’s a common jailbird. Apparently, the shock of incarceration has hit him very hard.
Megyn Kelly openly states that Brand, who was convicted in Great Britain, was unfairly targeted due to his conservative political leanings. She says he’s a victim of a “witch hunt”. And, if you can stomach listening to her shrieking about this, you will hear her say that non-consensual anal sex is no big deal. Or, at least she’s implied it. 🤬
I look at Megyn Kelly and see a woman who is very wealthy, accomplished, well educatedm and objectively beautiful. She’s almost 56 years old, which makes her older than I am. She has three children, including one daughter who is 15 years old. In many conservative circles, Megyn’s daughter is at the prime age of irresistibility for certain men.
You’d think, under the circumstances, that Megyn Kelly might be more sensible about sexual assault. But no… Megyn is on Russell Brand’s side, even though his victims have described the torment he put them through when he assaulted them. That trauma doesn’t just go away.
I know some people might disagree that Megyn Kelly is “beautiful”. Personally, I think she’s physically very pretty. But she has an extremely unpleasant personality and she says absolutely horrific things. It seems like she’s gotten much worse in recent years. I think the first time I ever saw her, she was interviewing members of the Duggar family, after it came out that Josh Duggar had molested his sisters. I didn’t think she was terrible in that interview.
But now, she says things that are shockingly cruel and tone deaf. She attacks women all the time. And I just don’t know how she manages to maintain her career in the public eye, physical beauty notwithstanding. Plainly put, she’s a total bitch. Besides Russell Brand’s victims, she has attacked and vilified Christina Applegate, Olivia Rodrigo, and women in the Epstein Files.
I don’t know what her problem is, but she’s a symptom of the worst problems we Americans have these days. She has no empathy, no decency, no class, and no right to be as vile as she is. And really, she should not have a platform… but she probably maintains one because her messages appeal to entitled white, conservative, Christofascist type men, who think she’s easy on the eyes. Her misogynistic opinions are like music to their ears. They keep the money and the notoriety rolling in. 🙄
It’s really a shame. Especially for her family members, who have to be around her… She’s definitely what Trump would call a “nasty woman”.
