Megyn Kelly Trashes Charlize Theron For Sleeping With A 26-Year-Old Man: 'Have Some Class'
Kelly slammed the actress as "vulgar" and "off-putting" for revealing such dalliances in public like that, adding that it's "inappropriate" and "feels weird."
Charlize Theron also caused quite a stir when she said celebrity attendees at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Venice wedding "suck."
Kelly has taken aim at Theron after she revealed she recently slept with a 26-year-old man.
The Hollywood star, who's currently promoting her new film "The Old Guard 2," sat down with Alex Cooper on her "Call Her Daddy" podcast, where she revealed she recently had a one-night stand with an unidentified fellow.
"I did just recently f-ck a 26-year-old, and it was really amazing… I've never done that. And I was like, 'Oh, this is great.' Women should be the ones that are like, 'F-ck you, I'm going to have an orgasm,'" she said.
Theron's comment seemed to make Kelly uncomfortable, and the former Fox News host didn't hesitate to criticize her for making such a comment publicly.
"She decided to go on a podcast tour, for some reason, sat down with 'Call Her Daddy,' the sex podcaster who interviewed Kamala Harris, all about how much they love abortions," Kelly said during Thursday's episode of her SiriusXM podcast "The Megyn Kelly Show."
"And this is Charlize Theron trying to sound like [a] super cool girl, and I'm gonna let you decide for yourself whether that's what she accomplished," she continued, per the New York Post.
Kelly added, "She's 49 years old. She's trying to sound like she's 26 years old, and it's inappropriate. It feels weird. She's one of our biggest stars, that's true. Act like it… Have some class."
Kelly went further to share that Theron may be misrepresenting her sexuality and blowing her sexual encounters out of proportion for attention.
"I kind of call bullsh-t because I believe that Charlize Theron probably prefers women. That's my belief. Okay, I'm entitled to my opinion, and there's no reason to get into the details as to why I believe it, but I believe it," Kelly said.
"And I don't think that she's telling the truth about the 26-year-old," she added.
Theron's sexuality has long been a subject of debate among netizens, but the "Atomic Blonde" actress addressed the talks in a 2017 appearance on the Bravo television show "Watch What Happens Live" with Andy Cohen, where she was asked if she had "dipped in the lady pond."
"When I was young, yes," she told Cohen at the time. "I mean, it's just so not a big deal. I'm so old school — I really like dudes."
The 49-year-old went on to share that even though she'd previously explored her sexuality, she identifies as heterosexual and has offered supportive messages of bisexual visibility.
Kelly also took a jab at the actress for using profanity during her appearance on the show.
"I love a good F-bomb… But every sentence? An F-bomb? 'F in this, F in that, F in God,' what is that? This is like an affectation where she's trying to act like, again, young, cool girl, 'I get it, and I don't need a man,'" she said.
During her chat with Cooper, Theron also spoke on the freedom she feels raising her two adopted children without a male partner; however, Kelly wasn't having it at all.
"She's got two children. They don't need a father? She's super proud of the fact that there's no father in the picture? Great. Good for you," Kelly said. "It's a very strange thing to see one of our best-known actresses sit down like that, with the crossed legs, with this sex podcaster, talking about their orgasms and who they f'ed. It's just really off-putting."
Theron has been involved in several controversies recently, including when she ripped into Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's star-studded wedding in Venice.
Several A-list stars, including Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and Sydney Sweeney, graced the lavish nuptials, prompting the actress to diss them, saying the attendees "suck."
"I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding," Theron said while hosting the fifth annual Block Party for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project last week.
"But that's okay because they suck and we're cool," she added jokingly, per The Blast.

Why Marvel, DC, Lucasfilm and More Are Sitting Out San Diego Comic-Con This Year — GeekTyrant
The age of jaw-dropping Hall H surprises at San Diego Comic-Con is fading away. Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, Warner Bros./DC Studios, Legendary, Sony, Lionsgate, and Paramount are skipping this year's event, leaving the famed Hall H with less spectacle, and wild exciting chaos than we've come to expect. According to a new report from The Wrap, all these studios have all opted out of film panels this year, and it mostly comes down to two things: timing and cost. 'I think it's expensive to go and hard for movies to really pop there now and move the needle,' one top marketing executive told the outlet. 'It used to feel like a must.' Theatrical releases are trickling instead of pouring, and even the few major titles like Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps will already be in theaters by the time Comic-Con rolls around. Neither Marvel nor DC has a significant film release on the calendar until well into 2026, making it hard to justify spending six figures on a splashy event without a tangible return. When studios do go big, it really adds up. One insider revealed that even a standard Hall H presentation with exclusive footage and cast appearances can cost 'hundreds of thousands of dollars.' That's before you factor in things like talent fees, hotel accommodations, airfare, and the full glam squad. 'For the bigger stars, it gets really, really expensive,' another marketing exec said. 'Hair, makeup, styling and first-class accommodations can add hundreds of thousands of dollars more to the bill.' Last year, DC Studios skipped the convention entirely, with only Creature Commandos in active production. That left the door wide open for Marvel Studios, who delivered a barn-burner panel capped off by the bombshell that Robert Downey Jr. would return to the MCU as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars . But this year, both Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts* underwhelmed, and studios are now rethinking whether Comic-Con panels still offer the kind of impact they used to. DC isn't totally absent as they're bringing Peacemaker Season 2 to the con, but fans hoping for a deep dive into James Gunn's rebooted DCU will have to wait. According to the report, Supergirl is expected to get the spotlight at a fall convention, likely New York Comic Con in October. It's not a complete ghost town, though. Universal Pictures is bringing two movies to Hall H, while Amazon MGM Studios is prepping a panel for Project Hail Mary . Disney and 20th Century Studios will show up with TRON: Ares and Predator: Badlands , so there's still going to be plenty to see, just not with the usual MCU and DCU chaos. As for the folks running Comic-Con? They're not sweating it. 'While we hope every studio or network could attend every year, we know that can't always be the case,' said David Glanzer, Chief Communications and Strategy Officer for San Diego Comic Convention. 'And if there are some who can't make it this year, we'll be here in 2026 and eagerly await their return.' So yes, this year be a chill year that will feel quieter. But, that just means the next big Hall H moment is being saved for something even bigger down the line.

Popular Podcaster's Cubs Game Performance Sparks Loud Boos and Viral Backlash
Popular Podcaster's Cubs Game Performance Sparks Loud Boos and Viral Backlash originally appeared on Parade. When you head to a ballgame, you expect a few things: overpriced snacks, a rivalry win, and a crowd-pleasing rendition of 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game.' But on Sunday, July 6, fans at Chicago's Wrigley Field got a very different seventh-inning stretch — and they let their voices be heard. Alex Cooper, host of the Call Her Daddy podcast (which now pulls in roughly 10 million listeners per episode), took the mic as part of her 'Big Al's Takeover' with the Cubs. Dressed in a custom jersey, the 30-year-old internet personality tried her hand at leading the crowd in the classic tune. Instead of cheers, she was met with loud, extended boos. .@alexandracooper brought the energy for Sunday Night Baseball 😂 📺 Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN — espnW (@espnW) July 7, 2025 'You've never seen something like this before,' she said before launching into an offbeat, exaggerated solo performance. Her friends flanked her as backup dancers, lifting her into the air at the end, but the crowd didn't budge. The jeers only grew louder. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 And it wasn't just in the stands. Once footage hit social media, the internet wasted no time reacting. 7/6/25. Alex Cooper. Immediate lifetime ban is warranted. Making a mockery of this @ Wrigley is so disgusting and disrespectful. #7thInningStretch #WrigleyField #Disrespect — 7thInningStretch (@StretchCritic) July 7, 2025 'What Alex Cooper did at Wrigley should be studied forever,' one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter). 'If you get booed for ANYTHING while the Cubs are beating the Cardinals by 11 runs, you definitely deserved it.' 'A cappella and without Auto-Tune... I'll only say that she's a brave woman,' another fan posted. 'The only question is whether she was drunk.' 'Safe to say they will never bring her back,' a third chimed in. Others called the performance 'cringe,' 'disrespectful,' and 'brutal,' comparing it to infamous flops like Mike Ditka's or Ozzy Osbourne's renditions, but arguing Cooper's was worse because she meant it to be that way. Alex Cooper's Stretch wasn't Ditka or Ozzy Osbourne level bad. It was somehow worse because she was actually trying to do it that way. — Matt Lindner (@mattlindner) July 7, 2025 Cooper isn't the only one to feel the sting of boos this year. In February, Taylor Swift faced a similar moment when she was booed by Philadelphia Eagles fans during a Jumbotron appearance at Super Bowl LIX. 💪 SIGN UP for tips to stay healthy & fit with the top moves, clean eats, health trends & more delivered right to your inbox twice a week 💪 Taylor Swift laughed off being booed at the Super Bowl 😅 — SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) February 10, 2025 The incident, captured on video, showed the 35-year-old pop superstar briefly startled before regaining composure and brushing it off with a laugh. Even more recently, Tom Brady got hit with the same treatment. The NFL legend was loudly booed during a Jumbotron appearance at the Indianapolis 500 in May.
