'Appeasing groups': Megyn Kelly slams Victoria’s Secret fashion show for going 'woke' to keep up with Rihanna's Fenty
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Megyn Kelly criticized lingerie brand Victoria's Secret for going 'woke' after the company revamped its fashion show with plus size models. Kelly claimed that the new changes were undergone only to keep up with Rihanna's beauty brand Fenty and have nothing to do with diversity. This comes after the 'Wild Thoughts' hitmaker included models of all sizes and ethnicities in her Fenty fashion show.
The critical statements were made on Kelly's SiriusXM radio show 'The Megyn Kelly Show' ahead of the fashion show's return after a four-year hiatus. She was joined by the host of 'Walk-Ins Welcome' and 'Dumpster Fire', Bridget Phetasy. "Victoria's Secret has gone woke," Kelly told her guest, listing a series of changes the company went through since 2018 which is the last year the show was televised, as per RadarOnline. "In 2019, they hired their first transgender model because of course," Kelly said on her open and honest show. "Another space that women used to dominate and now, no."

Kelly talked about Victoria's Secret losing sales
Kelly debated the clothing company's statement on their Victoria's Secret Collective initiative, which features non-traditional models like US Women's National Team soccer player Megan Rapinoe and actress Priyanka Chopra. The former Fox News anchor mentioned the downfall of the brand's sales after the inclusion of diverse models, such as a refugee from Sudan. "People don't seem to be responding particularly well to the heavyset models who are refugees and also men," Kelly said while mocking Victoria Secret's failed numbers.
Kelly and Phetasy insisted Victoria's Secret losing sales stem from the brand attempting to be "something they're not", like when "Playboy tried to stop having nudes." "They're like, 'OK, we got the Indian girl, we got the lesbian soccer player, we've got the refugee, the skier, the heavyset plus-sized model, OK we're good," Kelly said, adding that the brand made sure that they "check all the boxes."
Victoria's Secret allegedly wants to distract from a scandal
Kelly further claimed that the brand does not care about diversity and was focused on "appeasing groups" and distracting people’s attention from former Victoria's Secret executive Les Wexner, who had ties to Jeffrey Epstein. "There was a backlash against the company, I don't think they needed to get rid of the sexy bras and angels," Kelly said of the brand which is allegedly trying to distance itself from scandal. Kelly continued to trash the brand's recent pivot that stated that the company would focus on "what women want." She said: "Which is so annoying. Right? Like all we want is granny panties. Like we don't like to look sexy and only want to wear granny panties."
