Megyn Kelly slammed for defending blackface Halloween costume, says: 'When I was a kid, that was ok'
NBC host Megyn Kelly issued an apology to her colleagues on Tuesday after her she received heavy backlash for defending racist Halloween gags. The journalist reportedly made the controversial remarks during a roundtable discussion on "Megyn Kelly Today" about the inappropriate Halloween costumes.
Kelly, in an internal note, said: "One of the wonderful things about my job is that I get the chance to express and hear a lot of opinions. Today is one of those days where listening carefully to other points of view, including from friends and colleagues, is leading me to rethink my own views," CNN reported.
Kelly, during the segment, had said that when she was growing up, it was okay for white people to dress up as black characters. She also spoke out against last year's controversy over a reality star who had portrayed Diana Ross.
