Megyn Kelly Pulled Off The Air After Jane Fonda Rant, Network Runs Pre-Recorded Episode

The backlash continues.
Megyn Kelly was pulled off the air and NBC chose to run a pre-recorded show this morning, just one day after the morning host viciously attacked Jane Fonda amid their ongoing feud. The TV personality and the iconic actress have been at war ever since Kelly questioned Fonda about her plastic surgery during an appearance on the show in September.
The View ladies weighed in on the controversy this morning, and guest host Ann Curry flat-out slammed Kelly for her approach to the situation.
"We're witnessing what we saw yesterday, a certain amount of meanness that I think is - meanness which we should not tolerate. Journalists are not supposed to be the story and it's a struggle, I think, for everyone to be, but we're supposed to be humble. We're supposed to use whatever time we're given to shine a light on other stories. I mean there are so many stories that we're not covering," Curry said.
"If I can forgive you for telling all my friends' black children that Santa is only white, you can step back. Because you made a mistake. You made a mistake. We all make mistakes. You gotta lighten up, babe," Whoopi Goldberg added.
They aren't the only ones that disapprove. "Megyn Kelly is a moron - spineless wanna be barbie - she sucks and so does her show,' Rosie O'Donnell tweeted. "What a moron this woman is," Patricia Arquette wrote. "This is disgusting. Shameful," Debra Messing said after the rant aired.
Kelly is also under fire for being one of the only morning show hosts not heading to South Korea to cover the Olympics. Sources are calling her a "diva" and "controlling" for refusing to do what others, like Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie, have been more than willing to do.
Does anybody even watch her show?! It's so awful! We guess she's trying to get ratings by making herself the news, but that plan is totally backfiring!
