Megyn Kelly Criticizes Charlize Theron for Vulgar Podcast Comments

Megyn Kelly harshly criticized Charlize Theron following the actress's candid discussion about her recent one-night stand with a 26-year-old man on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast. Kelly described Theron's remarks as "vulgar," "off-putting," and "shockingly inappropriate," accusing her of trying to act younger than her age and lacking class. She further speculated that Theron might be misrepresenting her sexuality and exaggerating her experiences, suggesting Theron probably prefers women and doubting the truthfulness of the 26-year-old relationship. Theron, who is promoting her Netflix film "The Old Guard 2," encouraged women to embrace their sexuality and be vocal about their desires during the podcast, sparking widespread media reaction. Kelly, who was portrayed by Theron in the 2019 film "Bombshell," expressed disbelief at the actress's choice to appear on such a sex-focused podcast and questioned her motives, suggesting the comments were an attempt to seem edgy or compensate for something. The controversy highlights a clash between Theron's open, frank approach to discussing sex and Kelly's call for more reserved, traditional decorum from public figures.
