On Wednesday, Megyn Kelly appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where she discussed the lead-up to her decision to leave Fox News.
“Donald Trump has a way of clarifying one’s life choices and that was true in my case, too,” Kelly, who left Fox News after 12 years and is now an anchor at NBC, explained to DeGeneres.
“Just as I was wondering where I wanted to be and what I wanted to do, the universe came and showed … me what I wanted to do,” she added.

Kelly said that she didn’t leave specifically because of the tweets that Donald Trump was putting out during the campaign. However, it certainly didn’t help that he was attacking her publicly, nor did it help that he said that she had “there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever” after she moderated a debate during the campaign.
Finally, she said, she decided to leave in January.
“The country’s so divided right now and it’s so political. It’s like politics has become like race: you can’t discuss it at all,” she said. “I didn’t want to be in the snakepit. I just wanted to cover the news.”
Her new show, “Megyn Kelly Live,” debuts on NBC News at 9 a.m. Monday.
