Megyn Kelly uses Trump's menstruation jab to slam Kimmel's wife's speech: 'Bleeding out of wherever'

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Megyn Kelly walked straight into old wounds and new controversy on the Monday, December 8 episode of 'The Megyn Kelly Show'.

The 54-year-old host used Molly McNearney’s ‘Women in Entertainment’ keynote to revisit Donald Trump’s infamous “blood coming out of her wherever” jab — a remark that defined one of the most explosive moments of the 2016 campaign. This time, Kelly flipped the reference to go after McNearney and what she called the left’s “selective outrage.”

Kelly didn’t hold back as she reacted to McNearney’s buzzy speech at The Hollywood Reporter’s 2025 Women in Entertainment breakfast. McNearney, 46, used humor to open a conversation about censorship, freedom of speech, and menopause and Kelly seized on the moment.

“She’s on a tear,” Kelly said, taking aim at the event’s tone. “She’s in front of women. So we have to talk about bleeding out of our wherevers, because that’s what defines us. Okay, we got it.”

Kelly then made the sharp comparison she’d been building toward: “Didn’t President Trump take a whole lot of s**t for making that point? Only you get honored if you say it as a leftist. If it’s all about your period and you’re on the Left, it’s great. You get an award.”

McNearney’s keynote focused on free speech after her husband Jimmy Kimmel’s show was suspended for a week this fall, following jokes made about Charlie Kirk’s death. She told the audience she once believed free speech was guaranteed until September 16, 2025, when the suspension hit.

“I naively assumed it was a guarantee in this country,” she said. “It’s something that I took for granted. It’s something I thought I’d always have, like my period. Did you guys know that those just stop? They just stop.”

She added that freedoms can “stop” too, referencing not just this year’s controversy, but the 2022 overturning of Roe v.Wade. She described watching her colleagues “be put on indefinite suspension after our very thin-skinned president asked for his removal.”

Megyn Kelly’s history with Trump adds new intensity to the criticism

Kelly’s jab carried extra sting because of her own past with Trump. In 2015, after she pressed him on his comments about women during a GOP debate, Trump infamously told CNN: “You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever.”

The remark became one of the most defining flashpoints of the election and left Kelly enduring years of mocking, harassment, and political blowback.

Now, Kelly is using that same line to attack McNearney. Her message was clear: she believes the outrage she endured a decade ago is not applied evenly.
