Even Matt Lauer has jumped on the Megyn Kelly hatred train.
Kelly’s rough beginning during her much anticipated hour of the “Today” show has landed her under bad graces with her co-star who does not want to defend her.
Industry experts say Lauer’s backstage confessions and Kelly’s plummeting ratings could spell the end of her show.
The New York Post reported that an industry insider spoke with Lauer about celebrities being told to avoid Kelly’s show amid her horrible ratings and awkward interviews with guests, and he replied that he “gets it.”
The veteran host was not shy to snub his new costar, he added “It’s a big problem for them,” meaning Kelly’s show.
Rumors have been circling since the signing of Megyn Kelly’s contract about a possible backstage tension between Lauer and Kelly… and this is the biggest proof yet!
Publicists have been reportedly been steering their clients away from appearing on Kelly’s show following the uncomfortable interviews with Jane Fonda and Debra Messing.
Just two days into her new show, Kelly had already upset Fonda when she brought up the actress’ plastic surgery past.
Messing has allegedly spoke out on her regret for ever agreeing to appear on Kelly’s show following this awkward question she asked a superfan.
“Is it true that you became a lawyer, and you became gay, because of [co-star Eric McCormack’s character] Will?”
As the number of viewers drops everyday, the “Today” show is struggling to keep ratings up. Megyn Kelly has even affected “Kathie Lee & Hoda”.
Failure has followed Megyn from her Sunday primetime show to her daytime now too.
Will she be fired from “Today”?
Stay tuned… we don’t see hope for Kelly’s future in television.
