Megyn Kelly Calls Out Kamala Harris’ Extended Family’s Distorted Views on Ageism
Megyn Kelly could not conceal her disdain for the sensuous dance performed by JLo with three male backup dancers, accusing her of behaving akin to a ‘soft porn star.’ The incident sparked a palpable tension between Megyn Kelly and Kerstin Emhoff, previously married to Doug Emhoff – Kamala Harris’ current husband. What further added fuel to the fire was the disclosure of Doug Emhoff’s alleged infidelity with the nanny during his previous marriage.
Kerstin Emhoff didn’t align with Megyn Kelly’s notion that JLo was excessively sexualizing her performance and showing a lack of age-appropriate conduct. She retorted, ‘Countless people are lured by JLo’s sex appeal. Unlike you, many of us are still in the game.’ An evident dig at Megyn’s vilification of JLo’s vibrant display of her sensuality.
Megyn Kelly, however, wasn’t one to back down. Her quip at Kerstin Emhoff echoed, ‘You avoided direct confrontation by not tagging me in your post. However, let me assure you, I’ve enough allure to prevent my husband from taking an interest in the nanny. Unlike JLo, I don’t feel obligated to assert that I’ve still got it.’
Kerstin Emhoff refuted Megyn’s allegations, noting that her objections were rooted in ageism rather than the specifics of JLo’s dance. Kerstin retorted, ‘You’ve no clue about my marital life’s intricities. I choose to stand with women. Maybe you should try that sometime.’
JLo’s performance took place during the Cook Music Festival on the Canary Island of Tenerife and included an array of erotic moves. Against the backdrop of astonished spectators, she slipped into a provocative white lace-up thong bodysuit, striking suggestive poses with her dancers.
Megyn Kelly’s reaction to the footage from the concert insinuated it bore resemblance to an erotic scene rather than a performance by JLo. She berated, ‘She’s aged 55 and is unable to reconcile with the fact that her days as a sex symbol are long gone.’
Megyn Kelly didn’t hold back when she passed judgment on JLo’s attempts to maintain her status as a sex symbol even at the age of 55. She pointed out the stark reality, underlining that despite being able to look appealing for an individual’s age, expecting the audience to perceive you as a sex icon crosses the boundary.
Kelly, not mincing her words, was sharp in her remarks, ‘We aren’t sex symbols anymore. We can take pride in our appearance for our age, but to anticipate an audience to gaze at you with lustful intent – that phase is past its sell-by date. It faded with the onset of menopause.’
