Most Bizarre Met Gala Moments, Why Blake Lively Settled, and CRAZY New JP Morgan Exec Story Details, with Red Scare | Ep. 1310

Episode of The Megyn Kelly Show · May 5, 2026 · 1 h 42 min

Megyn Kelly mocks 2026 Met Gala looks, analyzes Blake Lively's settlement with Justin Baldoni, and discusses Nick Fuentes and the JPMorgan lawsuit with Red Scare's hosts.

Summary

Megyn Kelly opened with an extended critique of the 2026 Met Gala, themed around fashion as art, criticizing looks by Lena Dunham, Katy Perry, Sarah Paulson, Sam Smith, Hunter Schafer, Vera Wang and Lauren Sánchez Bezos, while praising Nicole Kidman and the Kardashian-Jenner family. She argued that genuine A-list stars, particularly men, no longer attend the event, noting Meryl Streep's refusal to co-chair.

Kelly then analyzed the settlement between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's Wayfarer Studios over It Ends With Us, reached two weeks before trial. Replaying a January 2025 prediction by Baldoni's lawyer Bryan Freedman that things would get worse for Lively, she read the joint statement line by line, cited reports that no money changed hands, called the outcome a total victory for Baldoni, and argued Lively had damaged her own career. She offered Lively and Meghan Markle a PR lesson: stay quiet under media attack.

Red Scare hosts Anna Khachiyan and Dasha Nekrasova joined to discuss the Met Gala, with Khachiyan defending Lena Dunham's look and calling the gala a D-list event. On Lively, Nekrasova predicted she would keep working while Kelly disagreed. The group discussed Nick Fuentes after Nekrasova's interview with him contributed to her being dropped by her agency; Kelly played a clip of Fuentes using slurs and called him racist, anti-Semitic and misogynistic, while Khachiyan argued his remarks were half-jokes and that the liberal media amplifies him.

Finally, they discussed the refiled lawsuit by former JPMorgan banker Chirayu Rana against executive Lorna Hajdini, including reports that he falsely claimed his father died to get bereavement leave and two anonymous affidavits. Kelly read the affidavits and said she did not believe them, siding with Hajdini; Khachiyan speculated about an affair and Nekrasova about a humiliation fetish.
