Megyn Kelly savagely bashes Blake Lively at Time100 gala after ‘ridiculous’ honor: ‘She has no influence’

Megyn Kelly brutally called out Blake Lively at the Time100 gala after the actress was honored as one of the magazine’s “Most Influential People” of the year.

“It’s a ridiculous joke,” the political commentator told the Daily Mail on the red carpet at Thursday’s event in NYC. “She shouldn’t be here. She has no influence over anything.”

Kelly went on to claim that Lively “launched a fake MeToo allegation” against her “It Ends With Us” co-star and director, Justin Baldoni.

“She’s lived to regret doing it because virtually every allegation she has made has fallen apart,” the media personality further claimed.

“And so for her to be honored for doing that, to try to ruin a man over absolutely nothing, is a scandal,” Kelly, 54, added.

“Obviously, [Time is] looking for big stars to come here and generate pages on their magazines, but that was very wrong.”

The journalist also joked that she was hoping to get a selfie with Lively and Meghan Markle from a distance since they both “provided [her] with so many hours of content” for “The Megyn Kelly Show.”

“I have a feeling [Lively is] going to be avoiding me,” Kelly quipped. “I won’t be avoiding anybody. I’m good.”

The “Gossip Girl” alum, 37, arrived on the red carpet at the Time100 gala wearing an off-the-shoulder Zuhair Murad gown.

She attended the event with her husband, Ryan Reynolds — who spoke at the Time100 Summit on Wednesday — and her mom, Elaine.

The “Another Simple Favor” actress was recognized as a “philanthropist and a student of our country’s most intractable problems” on the prestigious list earlier this month.

“She and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, reached out in 2019 to make a contribution to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund,” civil rights lawyer Sherrilyn Ifill wrote in a statement celebrating Lively.

“I had been getting a few of these calls, as our work fighting against voter suppression and police brutality was receiving national attention. I’m always curious about the kind of research famous people do before they make that cold call to offer their support. The ones I have remained in relationship with are those who, like Blake, really did their homework.”

Nonetheless, Lively faced online backlash for being honored amid her contentious legal battle with Baldoni.

While their trial is scheduled to begin in March 2026, some people have already taken sides.

“Blake Lively is not ‘influential’ – she’s a manipulative, conniving bully,” wrote one social media user in response to the “Age of Adaline” star’s recognition.

“Only in Hollywood can being a liar land you on a ‘Most Influential’ list,” another commented.

Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December 2024, alleging he sexually harassed her on set.

She also claimed the “Jane the Virgin” alum, 41, and his team orchestrated a smear campaign to tarnish her reputation.

Baldoni denied the allegations and subsequently filed a $400 million lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds and their publicist, Leslie Sloane, for alleged defamation and extortion.
