Megyn Kelly Said THIS Hypocritical BULLSH*T About Cornell 7 Case
Meredith Lynch and Rebecca Sananès of The Moment Live join Erin to discuss the latest updates on the Cornell 7 case, reflect on the reputational rehab of NFL quarterback Deshaun Watson, and dive into the shallow end with Vanity Fair’s Erika Kirk profile. Then they have a petty rant session featuring the LA heatwave, a Bethenny Frankel feud, and Netflix’s East of Eden adaptation.

Point: some women are true sex addicts, but many were victims of incest. Messy, horrible, & once again reminds us of how much more mental health help is needed

The was no " investigation ", due to the fact that Craig confessed her participation in X, Y and Z was by consent. It would take a very foolish DA to attempt to prosecute anyone, that being the case.
She seems to be regretting more than a few things, lately.
The only thing EVERYONE involved in this nonsense is guilty of are being complete and total degenerates.
None of them are enjoying the notoriety this has brought.
Eventually, they will all live it down.

There's a problem with male loneliness, there's a problem with male billionaires, there's a problem with men in politics, men in Christian Nationalism, the manosphere, Cornell frat boys. When are we going to admit there is a problem with men? Patriarchy is the no.1 problem today.

NFL media can try all they want to rehab Deshaun Watson's image, the public hates him- including football fans. Browns fans don't even like him. So…it ain't gonna work.

This feels like an odd episode in which to profess a love for the team that kept Ben Roethlisberger as the face of the franchise for over a decade after having to suspend him for assaulting women.

Such a stark difference in how these ladies and Heather McDonald is talking about this case. It's so clear who are the smart adults and who is just a boymom coming up with excuses…

39:29 we did a taste test of some of that Willy's on my homies potcast a few weeks ago. Absolutely delicious. Tastes soooo good on its own and mixed really well with some cherry ginger ale that they had on hand. The body high was great and if you've got any thyroid issues that make edibles difficult to break down it actually felt like it bypassed the waiting period and didn't need an obscene amount to feel the effects. Totally second that recommendation

Hello, the little nerd voice she used that was so hot. Oh yeah, I like the topic that that was talking about on the show. And is their age a lot of women are afraid out there they don’t say it, but they show act like it.

It came out today (Wednesday Oct. 8th) on Tuesday Jane Doe received calls threating her then she was swatted. Her brother was leaving the property and stopped him then threw her boyfriend to the ground. Her father came out and said he was the dad and had guns in his face while Jane Doe was cowering for her life inside the house. She has covered her windows because she is scared someone will show up with a gun and shoot her. Doxxing her then swatting her, she doesn't feel safe in the home of her parents where she grew up. M. Kelly can go to hell! She is telling lies about this poor woman. The president of the university needs to be thrown in prison for his lack of action as well as campus police and the DA that f'd up the case. They all should be in prison and labeled as sexual assaulters and then get a piece of their own medicine. She can't work in her desired field. The university needs to pay her enough money to live on the rest of her life and tRump too!

does megyn kelly not know how.. ketamine works? it can cause.. a form of paralysis and alcohol causes coodination issues, and delayed flashbacks can bring what may be initially a complete blur. K-holes- I've heard of someone who had a literal animal identifying chip embedded in them whilst they were incapacitated by ketamine!

Whenever something like this happen people seems to talk and discuss black and white way rather in multidimensional way …
Why does it keep repeating, getting twisted,not reach the conclusion is the exact reason how people discuss and heavily favour wherever they see them self as in this case
@LinkyWinkyKong
October 9, 2026 at 12:09 pm
Megan undoubtedly is one of those women who sees rape as a complement, and is shocked and appalled that anyone with a bigger body could be seen as "hot enough, to be so desired"
Incorrect Meghan. On all counts. As per usual.

I think more so than getting rid of fraternity and sororities is just to get rid of the fraternity houses. Because that’s where they get drunk that’s where they hold their parties and that’s where this shit happens. Personally, I think that there needs a revision of Greek life in that historically Greek life was about colleges and professions in other words if you were an engineer you belong to this fraternity if you were a doctor you belong to this fraternity if you were, this is major you belong to this fraternity houses came around later. You may be right just get rid of the whole damn thing right now. But I think the most important thing is to shut down every fraternity house on campus and off campus. And I can’t believe that Cornell owns this house. I mean they’re complicit then.

I just knew that Kelly would call the fraternity brothers “boys” and the victim a “young woman.” She did not let me down.

In this day of information being everywhere there is absolutely no way these guys did not know that what they were doing was wrong.
Any we were all the guys were drunk and didn’t realise what we were doing defence is complete nonsense. If you told drunk these guys to give away all their money and possessions to homeless people they would some understand that is something they shouldn’t do.
