Wasn’t she a factor in the breakup of Brit Hume’s marriage?
I seem to remember hearing that.
According to Wikipedia Brit Hume is still married to his second wife, Kim Schiller Hume, who is VP of Fox News. I think the divorce from his first wife was a long time ago, so probably before Megyn was around to be a potential paramour. Whether the rumors about her and Brit are true, I have no idea.
Kim Schiller Hume is Brit Hume's current wife. She used to have some big position at Fox News and was the person who hired Megyn Kelly in the first place. That's why Kelly and Hume have what seems a very friendly relationship.
I agree with most FReepers that Megyn Kelly has gone way off the rails in going from what I thought was kind of a moderate Republican to an all-out liberal squish. However, I highly doubt that Megyn Kelly "slept her way to the top" with Brit Hume. It was Brit's own wife who hired Megyn Kelly, and the Humes seem to have a friendly relationship with Megyn.
Brit Hume expressed pride years ago on air in noting how far Megyn had gone since his wife first hired her as a rather low-level reporter at FNC.
