Megyn Kelly slammed Jennifer Aniston for falsely accusing Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) of being against IVF and for his silence on transgender men competing against women in sports.
“Friends” actress Aniston usually stays quiet on sensitive culture war topics. Last month, he was embroiled in a political controversy. She criticized Republican vice presidential nominee Vance for his “childless, cat-loving women” comments.
Kelly, host of the SiriusXM podcast “The Megyn Kelly Show,” told former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan that Aniston cannot claim to be a spokesperson for women's issues because of her silence about Olympic boxer Imane Khelif.
“What did she say about women being punched in the face by men in a boxing ring? Zero,” Kelly said Monday on Ryan's podcast, “The Shawn Ryan Show.”
Kherif is an Algerian boxer who won gold at the Paris Olympics last month despite failing gender eligibility tests and being disqualified from other world competitions.
“What did she say about Peyton McNabb, who was hit so hard in the face and head by a North Carolina volleyball player that she suffered permanent neurological damage and brain injury? She said nothing,” Kelly said.
Kelly also criticized Aniston for not speaking up about an incident last year in which a member of the Dighton-Rehoboth girls' team was hospitalized after a shot from a Swampscott player hit her in the mouth during a field hockey game at a Massachusetts high school.
“What does she say about a girl who had all her teeth knocked out by a boy pretending to be a girl at a field hockey game? Zero,” Kelly said of Aniston.
Kelly added: “So it's none of my business what she thinks about J.D. Vance or childfree cat ladies.”
Kelly said Aniston “pretends to be the defender of women, but is actually the exact opposite,” and that the “Friends” star “has never stood up for any of these issues.”
“Is this her turn? Don't you want to offend childless, cat-loving women? Are you going to plant a flag there?”
The Washington Post has reached out to Aniston for comment.
