Megyn Kelly Slams Olivia Rodrigo's Cornell Lawsuit Comments

Megyn Kelly has publicly denounced singer Olivia Rodrigo for her support of a student involved in the Cornell 7 lawsuit. On her YouTube show, Kelly referred to Rodrigo as a "know-nothing moron" and urged her to refrain from commenting on cultural issues. Kelly suggested Rodrigo should "sit down and be quiet" and focus on her music career.

Rodrigo had earlier expressed her support for Jane Doe via Instagram, criticizing Cornell University and other institutions for allegedly failing to protect women. She emphasized that the student's experience and the alleged assault warrant accountability and lasting change.

The Cornell 7 lawsuit centers on an unnamed student's accusation of rape and drugging at a fraternity party in October 2024. The student claims the university did not adequately protect her. Following an investigation, two male students were expelled, and five received lesser penalties, with the lawsuit alleging some sought reduced disciplinary action through essays.

Other celebrities, including Florence Pugh and Mariska Hargitay, have also spoken out against the case in recent weeks.
