Megyn Kelly Mocks Alleged 20-Year-Old Cornell Jane Doe on Podcast

Summary
Megyn Kelly used her podcast to ridicule the appearance of a woman she claimed was the Cornell "Jane Doe," calling her "not the most attractive" and "extremely beefy."
The comments came as Kelly dismissed the substance of a civil lawsuit alleging seven fraternity brothers sexually assaulted the student after she was given alcohol and ketamine at a 2024 party.
Court records undercut the identification Kelly discussed: the lawsuit says Jane Doe was an 18-year-old Cornell freshman in fall 2022, while the woman circulating online reportedly graduated high school in 2023.
The defendants have denied the allegations, and Kelly also questioned why the accuser waited weeks to go to police and years to sue, suggesting she later regretted consensual sex.
The episode adds to Kelly's broader pattern on her independent platform of attacking women's bodies and siding against accusers despite her own past sexual-harassment claims against Roger Ailes.
