Megyn Kelly's Cooking Disaster Results in Firemen Rushing to Her Home: Photo

Megyn Kelly's attempt at whipping up homemade fried chicken had emergency responders rushing to her home.

"I tried to cook panko chicken in oil. It didn’t go well," Kelly, 55, captioned a photo shared via Instagram on Monday, August 10.

In the photo, the journalist appeared to be in good spirits as she smiled alongside three firemen who responded.

Though Kelly didn't provide any further details about the mishap, her nearly 2 million followers quickly took to the comments section to react to the unfortunate incident.

"Haha! I did that and my alarm wouldn’t turn off , the whole fire department showed up! 😂😂," one follower wrote, while a second added, "Looks like you had quite the adventure in the kitchen!"

"I hope you fill us in on what happened!" a third hoped. "You tried, that's all that really matters."

The post comes days after Kelly made headlines for an online feud with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy.

The drama began on August 3 when Kelly called Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark a "coward" after the athlete, 24, gave a neutral answer regarding teammate Sophie Cunningham's controversial stance on transgender athletes, which called for "protecting young girls" from competing against "biological men."

"I think, for us, it's not really a discussion we really have in our locker room," Clark said in a press conference on August 2. "I think it's for leagues and the governing bodies to work with their athletes to find solutions, but our focus is on basketball."

Kelly reacted to Clark's comments on her show and on X, calling the basketball player a "coward" for refusing to choose a side and saying she had a responsibility to speak out.

Portnoy, 49, directly responded to Kelly's criticism of Clark via social media, saying, “Absolute moron/idiot to call Caitlin a coward for this answer. 1st of all, you don’t even know how she feels on this issue, and more importantly, she doesn’t owe it to you or anybody else to be your political talking point. She just wants to play ball. Total coward, cheap shot to call her a coward for not being your puppet.”

Kelly quickly fired back, writing, "Why don’t you sit this one out since you didn’t even have any idea today 'how big a problem' this is. (Hint: UCLA Law estimates over 120k trans athletes at the HS level.) Understand this, however: if it were your daughter suffering brain damage from a boy posing as a girl, you wouldn’t care how many others there were. One is too many. But watch my show today bc I actually answered your Q civilly and respectfully, unlike your behavior here."

Kelly’s post was accompanied by a community note clarifying, "The Williams Institute at UCLA Law estimates the total population of trans youth (ages 13-17) in the US, not the number of trans athletes. Their reports estimate 300,000 (2022) to 724,000 (2025) total trans youth, with no estimate for high school athletes.”
