Conservative personalityMegyn Kelly has had a stunning transformation, but that doesn’t mean her life has been easy.
In fact, the controversial news anchor has quite a tragic real-life story.
Speaking toVoguein 2017 about her ups and downs, she admitted, “You either surrender or fight.
If you want to live, you fight.”
And Kelly has certainly fought to make it through very tough times.
“Was I smart enough?
Was I attractive enough?”
But the bullying didn’t stop in school.
“Reading negative remarks about yourself online is like breathing bus exhaust.
With each one you read, you let your detractors steal your mojo,” she said.
“Life’s too short for that.”
“He came back relieved.
Other than that, there had not been any sort of warning,” Kelly said.
Daddy had a heart attack!'
And it’s just it’s like an otherworldly, out-of-body experience."
Kelly also spoke about being woken up on"The Megyn Kelly Show"in 2022.
“What followed was the most painful night of our lives.
I was 15, she was 22, and it was the beginning of a very hard year.”
His passing also happened just 10 days before Christmas.
“My last sight of him was of him sitting on the couch, looking at the Christmas tree.
What I wouldn’t give now to have that moment back.
To have just one more chance to tell him how much I love him,” Kelly said.
Fortunately, it was benign but needed to be removed.
But things changed in was surely a very difficult late conversation.
That October, Kelly lost her 58-year-old sister, Suzanne Crossley.
Kelly explained Crossley had health issues, but noted, “It was sudden and it was unexpected.”
Kelly shared the family gathered around Crossley in the hospital, and they were present for her final moments.
“It was really hard, it was extremely emotional,” she said.
Later, she got clean and sober and rebuilt her life."
The relationship has different layers to it.
How I wish I had nurtured our connection more recently."
“She took this drug because she was having pain … and she got addicted.
Truly, it was the beginning of the end of my sister’s life,” Kelly said.
She also shared her disappointment more action wasn’t taken against those responsible for Crossley’s prescription.
“Those doctors have never been held responsible.
That drug is still on the market.”
