Megyn Kelly #sexist mediamatters.org

From the September 30, 2026, edition of SiriusXM's The Megyn Kelly Show

MEGYN KELLY (HOST): It's just so wrong. Again, why? Why does the media choose to call her Jane Doe and choose to name the men. I'm just going to tell you right now, if her identity is revealed, I am going to name her. I am going to name her

I am not OK with the accused having their identities plastered all over the newspapers and accusers getting this blanket of protection from the courts and/or the media. Now the courts I can't do anything about, but the media I can

Why? Why does she get the blanket of anonymity? Even if she's a victim. I'm sorry, but that's just — that doesn't make any sense

If you really want anonymity, unfortunately you have to stay out of the court system. If you file a civil lawsuit asking for money damages, you are in the court system and your name is as fair game as the names of the defendants. And I just — I don't think we can continue this farce of pretending all accusers are actual victims whose identities must be protected and all defendants are presumed guilty, and their lives will be ruined the second the complaint is filed. This is fucked up. I'm just done with this
