Megyn Kelly slams Charlize Theron as 'vulgar' over podcast appearance
Theron, 49, described the encounter as 'really amazing,' adding that women should be more assertive regarding their sexuality.
Kelly labelled Theron's comments as 'vulgar' and 'off-putting,' questioning why the actress would share such details publicly.
On her SiriusXM podcast, Kelly said, 'She's 49 years old. She's trying to sound like she's 26 years old, and it's inappropriate. It feels weird. Act like it… Have some class.'
Kelly also criticised Theron's use of profanity during the podcast, remarking, 'I love a good F-bomb… But every sentence? An F-bomb? 'F in this, F in that, F in God,' what is that?'
Additionally, Kelly expressed scepticism regarding Theron's sexuality, claiming, 'I believe that Charlize Theron probably prefers women,' while also questioning the truth behind Theron's claims about the younger partner.
Theron has faced other controversies recently, notably when she joked that celebrity guests at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Venice wedding 'suck,' during an event for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project.

Charlize Theron says Hollywood gives men ‘a free ride' after flops while women lose chances
Charlize Theron is speaking out against what she sees as a long-standing double standard in Hollywood's action genre. In a recent interview with The New York Times, the Oscar-winning actor criticized the industry for giving men repeated opportunities despite box office failures, while women are rarely afforded the same grace. 'Yeah, it's harder. That's known,' said Theron, who has headlined action films like Æon Flux, Atomic Blonde, and Mad Max: Fury Road. 'Action films with female leads don't get greenlit as much as the ones with male leads... guys will get a free ride.' Theron pointed out that when women front an action movie that doesn't perform well, they're often shut out of similar roles in the future. 'When women do this and the movie maybe doesn't hit fully, they don't necessarily get a chance again,' she said. 'But [studios] will take [the risk] many times on the same guy who might have a string of action movies that did not do so well.' The actor's comments come as she promotes The Old Guard 2, a new Netflix sequel in which she performs her own stunts, despite the physical toll. Over the years, Theron has undergone multiple surgeries related to action roles, including neck, shoulder, and elbow injuries. Even so, Theron remains undeterred by the physical demands. Describing one scene where she hung from a helicopter, she said: 'If I pull this off, I'm gonna be okay with never doing a stunt again.' The Old Guard 2 is now streaming on Netflix.

Alex Cooper booed at Wrigley Field after off-key rendition of ‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame'
Alex Cooper, host of the Call Her Daddy podcast, faced a wave of disapproval from the crowd at Wrigley Field on Sunday after her off-pitch rendition of Take Me Out to the Ballgame during the seventh-inning stretch. Cooper's enthusiastic delivery fell flat with Chicago Cubs fans, who responded with loud boos and social media criticism. Appearing during a game between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals, Cooper attempted to entertain the crowd but quickly lost favour. Alex Cooper was loudly booed during her Take Me Out To The Ballgame rendition at Wrigley tonight — Jomboy Media (@JomboyMedia) July 7, 2025 Fans compared her performance to other less-than-ideal renditions in Wrigley Field history, even ranking it below past infamous efforts by Mike Ditka and Ozzy Osbourne. '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,' one fan posted online. Another added, 'Just saw Alex Cooper get booed at Wrigley Field best day of my life.' Despite her popularity in the podcast world and a $60 million Spotify deal, Cooper struggled to connect with the baseball audience. Known for transforming Call Her Daddy into a solo brand after parting ways with former co-host Sofia Franklyn, Cooper has courted both acclaim and controversy in recent years. In 2024, she received criticism for a tightly managed interview with then-presidential candidate Kamala Harris, including a costly studio setup in Washington, DC. More recently, she threw the first pitch at Fenway Park—another high-profile sports moment met with mixed reactions.
