- Talk-show host Megyn Kelly and her manager at CAA have parted ways after her blackface comments.
- Kelly defended blackface Halloween costumes on her NBC show "Megyn Kelly Today" on Tuesday, and wondered aloud how they were racist.
- The cast members of Netflix's "House of Cards" pulled out of their scheduled appearance on Kelly's show next week over her remarks.
Megyn Kelly’s two-day bad streak just got worse. Deadline hears that the NBC News host who caused such a ruckus with her on-air remarks about blackface and her ensuing apology is no longer a client of CAA.
The news comes as the backlash continues over her comments during Megyn Kelly Today on Tuesday about why it’s not OK for people to wear blackface as a Halloween costume.
Fallout from the comments continued today as NBC News chief Andy Lack criticized Kelly during a town hall with staffers and praised the work done by his Today and Nightly News teams.
It also was revealed this afternoon that cast members and EPs of Netflix’s House of Cards pulled out of guesting on Megyn Kelly Today amid the controversy.
