In a recent episode of her show, "The Megyn Kelly Show," the conservative pundit expressed her outrage over Russell Brand's recent 10-year prison sentence, calling it an "outrage" and describing it as a "political witch hunt." She went on to describe the charges against Brand as absurd, stating that he engaged in activities such as kissing women, sniffing them, and having backdoor sex.

This prompted a strong reaction from her audience, with several critics slamming her for defending the comedian. Several users accused Kelly of being a "defender of rapists" and criticized her for victim blaming one of Brand's accusers. One user even wrote, "Your take on RB is so disappointing." This is not the first time Kelly has defended Brand during his trial; she was previously criticized for seemingly victim blaming one of his accusers.
