Megyn came in guns blazing.
“OK, so why doesn’t Charlize Theron come and f**k me up? Because I’m 100% against her on this,” she said during Friday’s episode of SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Show.
Charlize is not new to stirring up controversial debates.
In an interview with SmartLess podcast in 2022, the Hollywood actress said she didn’t speak English until she was about 19 and only focused on learning the language when she left home.
“That’s why it was easy for me to drop the [South African] accent because I was really learning English from scratch,” she added.
Referring to Afrikaans, she joked that “there's about 44 people still speaking it” and called it “a dying language”.
“It’s not a very helpful language,” she added.

Charlize Theron and media personality Megyn Kelly got tongues wagging this week when Kelly clapped back at Charlize’s comments on drag.
Charlize was reportedly holding a telethon recently when she made comments about discrimination towards the drag community and said she would “f**k up anybody” who came for them.
“We love you queens! We’re in your corner, and we’ve got you, and I will f**k anybody up who is, like, trying to f**k with anything with you guys,” Theron said during the Drag Isn’t Dangerous telethon, according to the New York Post.
