Megyn Kelly isn’t holding back — and this time, Hollywood royalty is in her crosshairs. The outspoken journalist and former Fox News anchor unleashed a brutal takedown of George Clooney during her latest podcast episode, mocking what she called his “self-righteous rambling” and “delusional nonsense” about politics and the state of America.

The exchange began after Clooney made a series of recent public comments criticizing conservative values and defending several controversial Hollywood figures. But Kelly, never one to stay silent when celebrities “play philosopher,” decided she’d had enough.

“George Clooney is a brilliant actor,” she said sharply. “But somewhere along the way, he decided that made him an expert on everything else — especially politics. And honestly, it’s embarrassing at this point.”

Kelly’s tone throughout the segment was blistering. She accused Clooney of living in a “bubble of privilege” while pretending to understand everyday Americans. “He gives these interviews from his Italian villa, sipping wine, lecturing everyone about compassion and justice,” she said, pausing for effect. “Meanwhile, he hasn’t lived in the real world for decades.”

The comments came after Clooney’s recent remarks in a magazine interview, where he claimed that “America’s divisions are fueled by ignorance” and urged voters to “trust Hollywood’s moral compass.” That line alone seemed to trigger Kelly’s fury.

“Hollywood’s moral compass?” she laughed. “The same Hollywood that protects predators, silences victims, and preaches tolerance while canceling anyone who disagrees? That’s the compass George wants us to follow?”

Listeners flooded social media with reactions, many siding with Kelly’s blunt criticism. Clips of her rant quickly went viral, with fans calling it “savage,” “hilarious,” and “long overdue.” One user wrote, “Finally someone said what we’ve all been thinking — celebrities like Clooney are out of touch with reality.”

Kelly didn’t stop there. She went on to mock what she described as Clooney’s “performative activism,” pointing out that while he loves to lecture about climate change and poverty, he continues to fly private jets and attend elite galas with some of the wealthiest figures in the world.

“Maybe George should step outside his mansion before he tells the rest of us how to live,” Kelly quipped. “The rest of us don’t have yachts and PR teams to clean up our hypocrisy.”

The segment ended with Kelly saying she doesn’t hate Clooney — but that his inability to recognize his own contradictions makes him impossible to take seriously. “I actually liked him once,” she said. “But he’s become a parody of what happens when Hollywood forgets humility.”

This isn’t the first time Kelly has gone after big-name celebrities. Over the past year, she’s clashed with everyone from Taylor Swift to Prince Harry, building a reputation for fearlessly calling out what she views as hypocrisy in the entertainment industry.

As for Clooney, he has yet to respond publicly — though insiders close to the actor claim he finds the attacks “predictable” and refuses to “dignify them with attention.” Still, Kelly’s takedown has reignited the debate over whether celebrities should use their platforms to lecture the public on political and social issues.

Whether you agree with Megyn Kelly or not, her words struck a nerve. In a media landscape dominated by polished interviews and scripted PR responses, her raw, unapologetic approach is what keeps her at the center of cultural conversation.

And if history is any guide, George Clooney won’t be the last Hollywood icon to feel the heat from her mic.
