'Where are strong women?' Megyn Kelly slams Drew Barrymore for kneeling before trans activist Dylan Mulvaney
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Megyn Kelly called out Drew Barrymore for being a "woke, weak, white woman" after the actress bowed to a transgender activist who has come under fire for sexism allegations over her online image. On March 14 episode of 'The Drew Barrymore Show,' the 'Charile's Angels' star kneeled before Dylan Mulvaney, a controversial TikTok user who has referred to herself as a "bimbo" and compared herself to a Barbie doll in the past.
Some viewers were offended by the gesture, including Kelly, who asked, "Where are the strong women?" On Wednesday, March 15, the former Fox News host used her own forum to talk about the exchange between Barrymore and the TikTok user, in which they spoke openly about online hate.

In the contentious segment of 'The Drew Barrymore Show' that aired on Tuesday, March 13, Mulvaney said, "It's interesting because I look at someone like you and I cannot imagine anybody disliking you. Then Barrymore rose from her seat and bowed her head as she sincerely questioned, "Oh, please, do you want to know ironically who dislikes me the most sometimes? Myself."

After that exchange sparked controversy among some of her followers online, with some viewers criticizing Mulvaney for "caricaturing girlhood" on social media, the journalist spoke out on her SiriusXM radio program, 'The Megyn Kelly Show.' "Maybe I should do the next presidential debate from the floor. Perhaps I should have been sitting on the floor when I asked Trump or any of these other guys tough questions," Kelly remarked on her show Wednesday. "How weak is she? Where are the strong women?.. .What is it?" "False strength by showing every weakness coming out of your pores," Kelly continued, quickly pointing out that she does not watch T'he Drew Barrymore Show.' "And it may all be an affectation, which makes it even more insulting," she added.
