Megyn Kelly has intensified her break with Donald Trump, accusing the US president of cheating on 'every wife he's had' while reviving long-contested allegations made by his first wife, Ivana Trump.
Speaking on the Hodgetwins Podcast,Kelly reacted furiously to Trump's criticism of former National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent, whose wife Shannon Kent was killed in Syria in 2019 during a suicide bombing attack. Trump recently mocked Kent for remarrying what he described as 'quite quickly' after her death.
Kelly, who lost her own first husband before remarrying, framed Trump's comments as deeply hypocritical.
'Talk about a glass house,' she said during the interview. 'Trump has cheated on every wife he's had.'
Kent was once part of Trump's national security circle and resigned amid disagreements tied to the administration's handling of Iran. Trump's public attack on Kent appeared unusually personal, focusing less on policy than on his remarriage to artist Heather Kaiser in 2023.
Trump wrote on Truth Socialthat Kent's late wife's 'casket was being brought to Dover' before adding that Kent remarried 'quite quickly, in my opinion'.
Kelly slammed Trump and pointed to the president's relationship history, beginning with his affair with Marla Maples while still married to his first wife, Ivana Trump. The affair dominated tabloid headlines in the late 1980s and early 1990s and ultimately contributed to the collapse of Trump's first marriage.
She then referenced Trump's legal troubles linked to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal.Trump was convicted in 2024 on felony charges connected to hush-money paymentsmade during the 2016 presidential campaign over allegations of an affair with Daniels, which Trump denies.
Kelly even took to online to discuss Melania Trump. 'If you think Trump's been faithful to Melania, that's great,' she said. 'You've got bigger issues than I can solve here.'
The most explosive part of Kelly's remarks involved Ivana Trump's long-disputed allegation from the couple's divorce proceedings.
