Megyn Kelly Tells Olivia Rodrigo to ‘Stick to Singing’ After Speaking Out About Cornell 7 Case: ‘You Don’t Know What the F— You’re Talking About’
Following Olivia Rodrigo’s statement in support of the Jane Doe at the center of the Cornell 7 lawsuit on Sunday, Megyn Kelly is firing off at the singer, calling her a “know-nothing moron” who should “sit down and be quiet.” “Olivia, in sum, you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. Shut up and […]
Megyn Kelly, a conservative commentator, harshly criticized Olivia Rodrigo for expressing support for Jane Doe in the Cornell gang rape lawsuit. Rodrigo had written on social media, "Shame on Cornell and on every institution who protects rapists and abusers over women," and stated her intention to stand by Jane Doe, whose bravery was celebrated by others online.
Kelly dismissed Rodrigo's stance, telling her "Shut up and stick to singing," and added that the singer had "no idea what she's talking about." Kelly further accused Rodrigo of being a "know-nothing moron" and suggested that her activism would negatively impact young women. The dispute unfolded amidst a Cornell lawsuit against seven Chi Phi fraternity members and the university itself, who are accused of giving the plaintiff alcohol and drugs before allegedly gang raping her in 2024 when she was incapacitated.
Despite the defendants' denial of wrongdoing, Rodrigo and many others, including Florence Pugh and Lzzy Hale, have rallied behind the plaintiff, while Kelly and others have sided with the accused. Cornell has defended its initial investigation, emphasizing that the university imposed severe punishments in the case.
