Media personality Megyn Kelly slammed Stormy Daniels for her “bulls— #MeToo revisionism” when recalling the former porn star’s alleged sexual encounter with former president Donald Trump.
“What shocked me the most (about Stormy Daniels) is that she completely revised her account of the interlude (with Trump),” Kelly said Thursday on her SiriusXM podcast The Megyn Kelly Show, the New York Post reported.

“It went from this casual description back when she first came out with it publicly of ‘he was interesting and he was nice’… to ‘I blacked out … the blood left my fingers and toes.’”
There was a contradiction, Kelly said, between Daniels saying “the room was spinning and he was stopping me from getting out because he was sitting on the bed between me exiting the bathroom and the door but in a non-threatening manner” and “Oh, and by the way, I didn’t say no.”
“It’s a bulls— #MeToo revisionism and everyone’s buying it!” Kelly said.
The Post reached out for comment from Daniels.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, was back on the witness stand in a Manhattan courtroom Thursday in the “hush money” case against Trump.
Trump is on trial for allegedly falsifying business records related to a $130,000 payment to Daniels. He was in court as Daniels testified for several hours Tuesday — before being cross-examined Thursday — about their 2006 rendezvous in a Lake Tahoe hotel suite.
Daniels said Trump made sexual advances after inviting her to his hotel suite at a celebrity golf tournament.
She said Trump told her: “This is the only way you’re getting out of the trailer park.”
Daniels claims she “blacked out” despite consuming no drugs or alcohol after Trump prevented her from leaving the room by blocking the door.
She said she woke up on the bed with her clothes off.
“I was trying to think about anything other than what was happening there,” Daniels testified.
The alleged encounter took place while Trump was married to his current wife Melania.
On Wednesday, Kelly brought up apparent inconsistencies between Daniels’ testimony and previous statements she made to the media that painted Trump in a more flattering light.
During her podcast, Kelly said she “brought receipts” about the inconsistencies.
Kelly referenced the interview that Daniels gave to Anderson Cooper of CBS’s 60 Minutes in March 2018 in which she said her encounter with Trump was “not a #MeToo situation.”

Last month, Daniels told ABC’s The View that Trump intimated that she needed to have sex with him to advance her career and that she felt cornered by him.
“I thought you wanted to be successful. You have to show me what it takes,” Daniels claimed on The View, paraphrasing what she claims Trump communicated to her in the Lake Tahoe hotel suite.
Daniels told The View last month she “didn’t realize the gravity of that” until she watched the movie Bombshell, which was based on the sexual harassment allegations leveled at the late Fox News boss Roger Ailes.
Kelly expressed doubt about Daniels’ statement, saying: “That didn’t happen.”
