Doug Brunt is Megyn Kelly’s husband. And does he love to brag on her!
“She’s like a combination of Walter Cronkite, Barbara Walters, Oprah Winfrey, and then a Grisham character who’s a scrappy guy from the other side of the tracks who has a rare gift for the law, in a Grace Kelly package, with a little Larry the Cable Guy sprinkled on top,” Brunt told Vanity Fair in a cover story on the Fox News star.
But the biggest revelations were two:
Kelly said she got “violently ill” the morning of the Republican debate. But she refused to call in sick, saying she moderated with a blanket over her legs and a bucket to throw up in by her feet.
“I would have crawled over a pile of hot coals to make it to that debate,” Kelly is quoted as saying. “No one was going to be sitting in for me, reading my questions. And I can say with confidence that neither Bret nor Chris wanted to read my questions — for many reasons!”
Specifically, Kelly was referring to her question about Trump’s history of making insulting remarks to women.
The news anchor also told about Trump’s attempts to cozy up to her before he announced for president.
“He would send me press clippings about me that he would just sign ‘Donald Trump.’ And he called from time to time to compliment a segment,” she said. “I didn’t know why he was doing that. And then when he announced that he was running for president, it became more clear.”
