Renowned journalist Megyn Kelly has stirred controversy with her recent remarks on “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast, expressing skepticism about Stormy Daniels’ allegations regarding an encounter with former President Donald Trump. Kelly’s comments, delivered on Monday, May 13, 2024, have ignited discussions about the credibility of Daniels’ claims amid ongoing legal battles and public scrutiny.
The saga dates back to 2006, allegedly involving Daniels and Trump crossing paths at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, with allegations of an encounter in Trump’s hotel room. However, Kelly, known for her incisive commentary, challenged the veracity of Daniels’ account.
During her podcast episode, Kelly remarked, “I think it’s fascinating seeing this happen. To me, it’s like a Greek tragedy,” highlighting the complex dynamics between Trump and his former attorney, Michael Cohen.

Kelly’s skepticism regarding Daniels’ credibility stemmed from her reassessment over time. While initially believing the allegations, Kelly admitted to doubts, particularly regarding Daniels’ account.
“At the beginning of the hush money trial, I had been completely believing that Trump had a one-night stand with Daniels and a full affair with former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal,” Kelly recounted. However, she expressed doubt about Daniels’ credibility, stating, “She came across as so not credible… I don’t put any stock in what this woman [said].”
Despite Daniels’ detailed testimony about her encounter with Trump, Kelly remained unconvinced, suggesting the possibility of a setup and casting doubt on the authenticity of Daniels’ claims.
The discrepancy between Kelly’s skepticism and Daniels’ testimony underscores the complexity of high-profile scandals and the challenge of discerning truth amid conflicting accounts. Kelly’s remarks have reignited debates about the credibility of accusers in such cases and the broader narrative surrounding Trump’s alleged indiscretions.
