Megyn Kelly's recent comments on her podcast have sparked widespread outrage among teens and former child actors. In a conversation with NewsNation host Batya Ungar-Sargon, Kelly downplayed the youth of Jeffrey Epstein's victims, stating that he was attracted to 'barely legal' 15-year-old girls. The remarks have been met with fierce backlash on social media, with many teens and former child actors sharing pictures of themselves at the age of 15, emphasizing that they were indeed children. Actress and activist Cynthia Nixon expressed her thoughts on Instagram, writing: 'If Jeffrey Epstein were still alive, would you be comfortable with your teenage daughter being alone with him in his mansion?' Several former child actors, including Christina Ricci and Valerie Bertinelli, have also spoken out against Kelly's comments. Bertinelli shared a photograph of herself at 15, captioned: 'I'm 15. I'm a child. I'm gonna say this a little louder for those in the back row. I'm FIFTEEN. I'M A CHILD.' The controversy comes as the House Oversight Committee releases further documents pertaining to the Epstein case. Kelly has yet to make a public response to the intense outrage on social media. In a powerful statement, a 14-year-old girl named Eloise expressed her desire to offer a 'reality check from a literal child.' She stated: 'The minute adults start defending predators by debating the age of a child, you're not protecting the truth. You're protecting the predator. And you shouldn't need a freshman to tell you that.' The Epstein case has been marred by controversy, with Donald Trump denying any wrongdoing despite claims that he was aware of the girls involved. The scandal has been dubbed the 'Jeffrey Epstein hoax' by Trump, who has not been charged with any misconduct.
