previous Fox News personality Megyn Kelly, who is now an independent journalist and a show on SiriusXM, claims that her previous network employed “dirtball” techniques to try to undermine former host Tucker Carlson. According to reports, three films were sent to left-leaning news organizations as part of the smear campaign; this brazenness drew scathing condemnation from Ms. Kelly.
Tucker Carlson was fired by Fox News, and Kelly has been outspoken about her displeasure over the decision, foreseeing that hit pieces will be written against him. As it turned out, the films had backfired on Carlson’s critics; rather than damaging his image as planned, they had made him seem more likable. Much to the dismay of Media Matters and The New York Times.
“They can’t help themselves… Fox is losing its fastball,” Kelly declared. “This is just too obvious, Irina. Again, It’s my opinion. This is all being leaked by Irina Briganti who’s made it her mission to ruin Tucker Carlson. She hates it when you mention her name on the air. She hates it when her pictures make the air, but she’s happy to besmirch yours. She’s in the business of ruining your name. Welcome to the club! It doesn’t feel very good does it, Irina, when your name is all over the news as somebody who’s possibly doing very disgusting dirty, dirtball kinds of things? It doesn’t feel good.”
Regarding former anchor Don Lemon, who was fired on the same tragic day as Carlson, Kelly emphasized that CNN did not use the same unethical tactics as Fox News.
“I just want to point out – CNN is not doing any of this crap to Don Lemon,” Kelly noted. “They fired the guy. They’re in the middle of a negotiation. As far as I know, it’s going the way you would expect. And I think Don Lemon is going to walk away with his paycheck. Tucker, it’s a different situation at Fox where you must be ruined as I’ve been telling you.”
She vehemently asserted that damaging secrets were being exposed to the public via Fox News.
“Ask yourself about my theory that this is Fox News doing it to him, that it’s Irina Briganti,” Kelly contended. “Who sat there combing through his commercial downtime to look for anything? If this is all you got, you lost your fastball. I can’t wait for the tape that absolutely sinks him because this is absurd. So far you made Fox Nation look bad. You’ve made Tucker look good on his ripping on Media Matters for America. And you’ve made Tucker look good because he’s obviously a funny guy who mocks his enemies and makes [it] clear that he understands you might be taping him!”
“Would love to hear from you, Irina. Let me know if I’m off base on all this. I’d love to have a chat. You can deny it – why don’t you come on the show? We can have a chat about old times. Because I see you. And I see what you guys are doing, and so does Tucker’s audience. And it’s disgusting,” She ended, clearly expressing her evident distaste for Briganti.

Carlson has been explicitly informed by Kelly that Fox News wants to ruin him. She says the public relations director at Fox News is doing “an orchestrated hit job” to discredit him.
She also urged Fox News to grow a pair and confess that Carlson was terminated. “Have some balls, tell your audience why you fired your number one host Tucker Carlson.”
Kelly noted that the network was rushing to prevent Carlson’s 3.5 million viewers from leaving the network and following him to his next big project.
“This is all an orchestrated hit job, in my opinion, and it’s not a subtle one,” On Monday, Kelly made a claim.
“It’s not enough to fire you,” she told Carlson. “You must be destroyed, and it doesn’t matter how nice a guy you were, how many points you put on the board for the channel, that you brought us through the Trump years, that you were No. 1 in your time slot, that you haven’t said one negative word about us.”
Irena Briganti and her infamously unscrupulous PR staff were singled out by Kelly, who has no problem naming individuals accountable for wrongdoings. Kelly’s critical remarks caused the senior vice president of communications a lot of trouble since she wouldn’t free them of responsibility for Carlson’s dismissal.
“You will be destroyed to settle some angry, bitter internal PR hack’s personal vendetta against you,” she warned Carlson. “And, if she managed to convince the bosses, the Murdochs, that he’s not good for them either, that he may have called them a name or two: So much the better. That’s what I think’s going on here.”
Kelly also thinks that the films that were leaked are a warning to Carlson’s prospective employers. “So, you see: He’s a hassle; he’s a difficult employee; he’s not a team player; he rips on you from the inside.”
“It’s not going well for Fox News at 8 pm, at all, which is the understatement of the year,” she commented. “Meanwhile, Media Matters for America releases another mysterious outtake of Tucker onset speaking frankly. This happened last week. Two videos were released. By whoever could it be, Irena [Briganti]?”
“So they first leaked to The New York Times: This is my supposition, for the record, because it hasn’t been yet confirmed, but I know it’s them,” Kelly accused. “And I know it’s Irena Briganti, who runs coms and f***ing hates Tucker. Sorry. She hates his guts. And it’s mutual. He doesn’t like her, either. None of us do. Nobody likes Irena.”
