“Fonda was on to promote a film about aging,” Ms. Kelly said. “For years she has spoken openly about her joy in giving a cultural face to older women. The host has found some ratings momentum lately by remaking “Megyn Kelly Today” into a forum for discussions of workplace sexual misconduct. Ms. Kelly’s on-air criticism of Ms. Fonda occurred days after a report surfaced that a former “Megyn Kelly Today” employee described her show as a “toxic” workplace. NBC called the charges “unfair.”Representatives for Ms. Fonda did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
