Megyn Kelly under fire after launching personal attack on Chris Cuomo

Megyn Kelly is facing increased scrutiny following his recent remarks regarding Chris Cuomo.

The former Fox News anchor recently took aim at Cuomo during a podcast episode, criticizing the former CNN personality’s coverage of the Nancy Guthrie affair.

In her fiery speech — which racked up nearly 100,000 views online — Kelly also made several personal attacks against Cuomo, even calling him an “asshole.”

Megyn Kelly lashes out at Chris Cuomo over Nancy Guthrie cover

Recently, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos announced that his department was excluding all immediate family members of the Guthrie family as suspects from its investigation.

Kelly and Cuomo responded to the news of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance on their respective platforms. During an episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the conservative podcaster refused to hold back while responding to Cuomo, who Kelly said was taking aim at her show during a NewsNation segment.

“Here’s ‘Fredo’ Cuomo on his little-known show on NewsNation, which has fewer viewers than I have fingers,” she said. “Let me tell you why Fredo is really upset. Fredo No-Rato, that’s his real problem. No one watches his show on NewsNation…No one watches his failed podcast either. No one watches his SiriusXM radio show. No one watches him on CNN.”

Kelly didn’t stop there. She accused Cuomo of getting upset when his competitors outperformed him. “…like our show, which is consistently one of the top three conservative podcasts in the country,” she said. “He’s currently number one on Apple. Fredo doesn’t like that. Because, like I said, Fredo No-Rato. So he gets angry and he gets jealous.”

Elaborating further, Kelly claimed that Cuomo “can’t take criticism” and suggested that the journalist exhibits bad behavior whenever she reports on his ratings or claims about the reach of his podcast.

Elsewhere, during her rant about Cuomo, Kelly leveled another allegation against Cuomo, the former “Good Morning America” ​​anchor.

Kelly alleged that her legal team once responded to a phone call from Cuomo, who allegedly “begged” her lawyer to convince her to stop mentioning him.

According to Kelly, “He didn’t want me to attack him, because it hurt his little feelings.”

Social media users react to Kelly’s statements about Cuomo, criticize her for being too ‘personal’

People flooded social media with strong reactions to Kelly’s comments, and the reactions were far from favorable towards the podcast host.

One user criticized the media pundit for making “everything personal,” while another said Cuomo “probably has more of an audience than you.”

Another social media user posted: “For you it’s all about ratings. I understand that’s a measure of success, but my god. That’s no way to live.”

“Why do you think it’s necessary to call him Fredo? It’s rude and makes you look small. You’re making money off Nancy, so please don’t try to look like you care,” a fourth wrote.

What’s going on with Nancy Guthrie?

According to multiple reports from The Blast, the search for Nancy Guthrie — mother of “TODAY” host Savannah Guthrie — remains active as the investigation approaches its fourth week.

Nancy first made headlines on February 1, 2026, when concerned community members reported to Arizona law enforcement that she had not been seen since the previous night.

A day later, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed that Nancy had been forcibly taken from her home and that her Tucson residence had become an official crime scene.

Authorities say tips poured in and DNA samples were sent to out-of-state labs to see if they could point investigators in the right direction.

But so far, no suspect has been named.

Three days ago, Savannah shared a saddening video on Instagram, sharing that her family still had “hope” of being reunited with her elderly mother.

She also attempted to share an encouraging message to Nancy’s would-be captors, saying: “We are here. We believe. And we believe in the essential goodness of every human being. It’s never too late.”
