Baldwin Slams Kelly's 'Journalism 101' Fail on Sex Life

Former CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin has accused Megyn Kelly of falling short of fundamental journalism standards. Kelly, during a conversation on her show, alleged that Baldwin was "banging four men in a month," referencing a recent podcast post by Baldwin. However, Baldwin clarified that her post was actually about declining propositions and choosing not to engage in casual sex, focusing instead on heartbreak, discipline, and discernment.

Baldwin expressed dismay that Kelly dedicated nearly nine minutes of her program to a false account of her sex life, joined by guests who she stated "cackled, laughed, and berated" her. Kelly later admitted on her own podcast that she had not read Baldwin's full Substack post before making her initial claims. Despite this admission, Kelly continued her critique, suggesting Baldwin's post was merely a "teaser" for paid content.

Baldwin responded to Kelly's subsequent segment, calling it a "reckless disregard for the truth." She highlighted that even if Kelly hadn't read the full piece, her continued defamation demonstrated a failure to meet the most basic journalistic requirements. Baldwin emphasized that her writing was about personal choices and self-protection, not casual sexual encounters.
