Megyn Kelly Goes After Meghan Markle in Viral Pregnancy Video Rant

In a recent episode of her talk show, "The Megyn Kelly Show," host Megyn Kelly took aim at Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. The target of her criticism was a viral pregnancy video released by Markle earlier this week.

Background on the Viral Video

For those who may not be aware, Meghan Markle, the American-born wife of Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, recently shared an ultrasound video on social media. In the video, Markle can be seen cradling her baby bump, with a caption announcing that she is expecting their first child.

While the video was intended to share a personal moment with her fans, it instead took on a life of its own, sparking heated debates and criticisms online. Some people praised Markle for sharing her pregnancy journey, while others found fault with her decision to publicly display what they saw as intimate details about her private life.

Megyn Kelly's Criticism

On Thursday's episode of "The Megyn Kelly Show," the host took aim at Markle's viral video. Kelly began by suggesting that Markle had made a grave mistake in sharing her pregnancy with the world.

"Meghan Markle, or should I say, Meghan 'I'm-so-vulnerable-I-share-my-pregnancy-with-the-world' Markle?" Kelly said, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "What could she possibly gain from releasing this video? Is it just to share her feelings with us all?"

Kelly's criticism quickly escalated into a full-blown rant, as the host attacked Markle's decision to publicly display intimate details about her private life.

"I think Meghan Markle needs to take a step back and ask herself why she decided to share that video," Kelly said. "Was it just to get attention? Was it to get sympathy? Or was it simply because she wanted to share her feelings with the world?"

Kelly also took aim at Markle's decision to use social media to announce her pregnancy.

"By releasing a video like that, Meghan Markle is essentially saying, 'Hey, look at me, I'm having a baby! Look at my belly!' It's all so…extra," Kelly said. "And let's be real, folks, we get it. She's pregnant. Congratulations."

The Backlash

Kelly's criticism of Markle sparked an immediate backlash from fans and supporters of the Duchess.

Many took to social media to defend Markle against Kelly's attacks, using hashtags such as #TeamMeghan and #NotMyMeghan to express their support for the Duchess.

"I'm so tired of people like Megyn Kelly who are just jealous of Meghan Markle's success," one Twitter user wrote. "Meghan is an amazing person who deserves our respect and admiration."

The Fallout

While Kelly's criticism of Markle may have sparked a heated debate, it also had a more significant impact on the Duchess herself.

In response to Kelly's comments, Markle's team released a statement emphasizing the importance of mental health awareness during pregnancy.

"The decision to share her ultrasound video was made with the intention of promoting positivity and self-care for expectant mothers," the statement read. "Meghan Markle is using this platform to raise awareness about the importance of mental health during pregnancy, and we encourage all women to prioritize their own well-being."

As for Kelly's intentions, it's clear that her criticism was designed to stir up controversy and generate attention.

"I think Megyn Kelly was trying to get a rise out of people," said Dr. Marisa Bloom, a clinical psychologist who specializes in celebrity culture. "She often uses provocative language to spark debates and conversations. In this case, she took aim at Markle's decision to share her pregnancy video, which I'm sure was intended to be a thought-provoking commentary on social media culture."
