Megyn Kelly was lambasted by “The View” hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines and more for attacking Christina Applegate after the Emmy winner revealed she was misdiagnosed with MS. Kelly reacted to Applegate’s news on her eponymous talk show by alleging Applegate must be “crying now because I guess she no longer gets to be the face of this disease.”

“This is, like, the problem with celebrities like wanting to lean into their health problems,” Kelly said on her talk show, shading Applegate’s health journey as a “wild goose chase.”
