Megyn Kelly challenges Charlize Theron after she threatened anyone who ... trends now
Megyn Kelly on Friday challenged actress Charlize Theron - who portrayed her in the 2019 film Bombshell - to 'come and f*** me up', after Theron vowed to attack anyone who had issues with drag queens.
Theron, whose adopted seven-year-old son Jackson identifies as female, on May 7 addressed a 'Drag Isn't Dangerous' telethon to lobby against the mass of legislation currently being debated statewide to curtail trans rights.
Theron said she would 'f*** up' anyone who is 'trying to f*** with you guys'.
On Friday, Kelly replied: 'Why doesn't Charlize Theron come and f*** me up?'

Actress Charlize Theron said she will 'f*** up' anyone who criticizes drag queens at an event opposing the recent rash of laws seeking to prevent children from seeing drag performances
Kelly said she enjoyed attending a drag show in Chicago, but it was for adults.
'I'm 100 percent against her on this,' Kelly said.
'Yes, there are fun drag queen shows - I've been to them. When we lived in Chicago I went to one and it was super fun. It was all adults.
'But there are drag queen shows out there right now that are deeply disturbing, and they are happening in front of young children.'
She said it could 'include the grooming of young children'.
Kelly added: 'Even she should be against this, trans kid or not.'
Kelly's guest, activist Sara Gonzales, who campaigns to end drag shows for children, said she was horrified by 'the sexualization of children', and told of attending a drag brunch where a child was present.
'There was one of the drag queens wearing an incredibly sheer outfit. This is just what is happening,' said Gonzales.
'I went there and saw this child being exploited and sexually abused.'
She said the drag queens were 'infecting their minds', adding it was 'disgusting'.
'All we are doing is asking: please stop doing this in front of children,' Gonzales said.

Kelly agreed, adding: 'If you introduce sexual behavior to children too young, it gets them used to it.
'You don't know who's in that child's life. The child's defenses are now down, because you put them down.
'So it is a problem, Charlize.'
The Oscar-winner said that 'if you've ever seen a drag queen lip sync for her life, it only makes you happier, it only makes you love more. It makes you a better person.'
'F***, if I could do a death drop right now I would, but I would probably like, break my hip,' she said, referencing a popular drag move.
She ended her time by asking viewers to 'support all the great organizations that are out there helping all of this nonsense going away like it should, all of these incredibly stupid policies.'
