Megyn Kelly Under Fire After Leveling Personal Attack Against Chris Cuomo

The former Fox News anchor recently unloaded on Cuomo during a podcast episode, criticizing the former CNN personality’s coverage of the Nancy Guthrie case.

In her fiery rant—which has racked up nearly 100,000 views online—Kelly also leveled several personal digs at Cuomo, even labeling him a “douchebag.”

Recently, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos announced that his department was clearing all immediate family members of the Guthrie family from its investigation as suspects.

Both Kelly and Cuomo have responded to the news of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance on their respective platforms. During an episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the conservative podcaster refused to hold back as she responded to Cuomo, whom Kelly believed targeted her show during a NewsNation segment.

“Here’s ‘Fredo’ Cuomo on his little-known show on NewsNation, which has less viewers than I have fingers,” she said. “Let me tell you what Fredo is really upset about. Fredo No-Rato, that’s his real problem. Nobody watches his show on NewsNation… Nobody watches his failed podcast either. Nobody watched his SiriusXM radio show. Nobody watched him on CNN.”

Kelly didn’t stop there. She accused Cuomo of getting upset when his competitors outperform him. “… like our show, which is always one of the top three conservative podcasts in the nation,” she said. “It’s currently number one on Apple. Fredo doesn’t like that. Because, as I say, Fredo No-Rato. So he gets upset, and he gets jealous.”

Elaborating further, Kelly asserted that Cuomo “can’t take criticism” and suggested the journalist exhibits poor behavior whenever she calls out his ratings or his claims regarding his podcast’s reach.

Elsewhere during her rant about Cuomo, Kelly hurled another allegation against Cuomo, the former anchor of “Good Morning America.”

Kelly alleged that her legal team once fielded a phone call from Cuomo, who reportedly “begged” her lawyer to convince her to stop mentioning him.

According to Kelly, “He didn’t want me to attack him, because it hurt his little feelings.”

Netizens have flooded social media with sharp reactions to Kelly’s comments, and the feedback has been far from kind toward the podcast host.

One user slammed the media pundit for making “everything personal,” while another said Cuomo likely “gets more audience than you.”

Another social media user posted, “It’s all about ratings for you. I get that’s a metric of success, but my god. This is no way to live.”

“Why do you think it is necessary to call him Fredo? That’s rude and makes you look small. You are making $$ off of Nancy so please don’t try to make it sound like you care,” a fourth wrote.

According to several reports from The Blast, the search for Nancy Guthrie—mother of “TODAY” host Savannah Guthrie—remains active as the investigation approaches its fourth week.

Nancy first made headlines on February 1, 2026, when concerned community members reported to Arizona law enforcement officers that she hadn’t been seen since the night before.

A day later, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed that Nancy was forcibly taken from her home and that her Tucson residence had become an official crime scene.

Tips have poured in, according to authorities, and some DNA has been sent off to out-of-state laboratories to see if it can point the investigators in the right direction.

As of now, however, no suspects have been named.

Three days ago, Savannah shared a saddening video on Instagram, sharing that her family still had “hope” that they’d be reunited with their elderly mother.

She also attempted to share an encouraging message to Nancy’s potential captors, saying, “We are here. We believe. And we believe in the essential goodness of every human being. It’s never too late.”
