Megyn Kelly hit out at “sleazy” Stormy Daniels for her “bulls–t #MeToo revisionism” when recalling her 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 on her SiriusXM podcast “The Megyn Kelly Show” on Thursday.
“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’.”
Kelly said there was a contradiction between Daniels saying that “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 b–llshit #MeToo revisionism and everyone’s buying it!” Kelly said.
The Post has sought comment from Daniels.
Daniels, the former adult film star whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, returned to the witness stand in a Manhattan courtroom Thursday in the “hush money” case against Trump.
Trump, who is on trial for allegedly falsifying business records related to a $130,000 payment to Daniels, was in court as Daniels testified for several hours on Tuesday — before being cross-examined Thursday — about their rendezvous in a Lake Tahoe hotel suite in 2006.
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 said 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.
Kelly on Wednesday pointed to apparent inconsistencies between Daniels’ testimony and statements she made to the media that painted Trump in a more flattering light.
During Wednesday’s edition of her SiriusXM podcast, Kelly said she “brought receipts” about the inconsistencies.
Kelly referenced the March 2018 interview that Daniels gave to Anderson Cooper of CBS’s “60 Minutes” in which she said that 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 in order 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 said on “The View” — paraphrasing what Trump communicated to her in the Lake Tahoe hotel suite.
Daniels told “The View” last month that 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.”
Kelly then cited a 2011 interview that Daniels gave to In Touch magazine which wasn’t printed until 2018 because the publication could not get comment from Michael Cohen, Trump’s former fixer who threatened to sue the magazine.
“We started kissing,” Daniels told In Touch. “I actually don’t even know why I did it but I do remember while we were having sex, I was like, ‘Please don’t try to pay me’.”
“And then I remember thinking, ‘But I bet if he did, it would be a lot’.”
Kelly said that Daniels was “well aware of what was happening” which is “far from being blacked out.”
“She was thinking about money,” Kelly said.
She then cited other comments made by Daniels to the publication, which quoted her as saying: “You know. It was one position, what you would expect someone his age to do. It wasn’t bad. Don’t get me wrong.”
Daniels told In Touch that she was “fascinated” and “definitely stimulated” during her encounter with Trump.
“We had a really good banter, good conversation for a couple hours,” Daniels was quoted as saying.
“I could tell he was nice, intelligent in conversation,” Daniels said of Trump.
“Usually I’m guessing that if you black out during a sex act, you don’t remember how good it was,” Kelly said.
