Megyn Kelly had a few choice words about how Halle Berry chooses to carry herself, both online and off.
On a Monday episode of her podcast “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the former Fox News anchor voiced her contempt for the Oscar-winning actor — beginning with a reference to a nearly 5-year-old rumor floated by actor LisaRaye McCoy, who once questioned Berry’s prowess in bed. Kelly noted that Berry responded to the claims.
Fast-forward to the present day — Kelly’s critique has evolved into commentary on Berry’s entire aesthetic. She described Berry’s online persona as channeling “sex kitten” energy and took issue with her openness around sexuality, even going as far as to suggest the actor was on a “downward spiral.” The tipping point? A video posted by Berry, which some could either call risqué or refreshingly candid.

In the clip, Berry is seen lying in bed with her partner, musician Van Hunt, casually discussing how their Mother’s Day would end. She also highlighted Let’s Spin, an intimacy gel launched by her wellness brand, RESPIN.
“Oh, my God, she looks like she’s on drugs,” Kelly responded. “She looks very bizarre.”
Apparently, a woman being open about her sex life — on a platform built for sharing — struck a nerve. Kelly followed, “Who celebrates Mother’s Day by talking about lubing up their vag with their boyfriend.”
