At the Producers Guild of America (PGA) awards on Saturday night, where she accepted the Stanley Kramer Award, Charlize Theron said that watching the video response from former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, to the Oscar-nominated “Bombshell,” was “really emotional.”
Theron, who plays Kelly in the film, was reacting to a 30-minute taped discussion that Kelly posted to her YouTube Channel on January 9, in which she was joined by former Fox co-workers Juliet Huddy, Rudi Bakhtiar and Julie Zann, and husband, Douglas Brunt, after a private screening of “Bombshell,” and then talking about the film afterward.
“When they talked about how the film really got the essence of what it felt like to work there and what they experienced there, the fact that we got that right, that just felt really validating,” Theron said. “Because that’s ultimately as filmmakers what you’re trying to get. You know, it’s not a documentary,...

Charlize Theron says it was “really emotional” to watch Megyn Kelly’s half-hour response video to “Bombshell,” the Oscar-nominated feature film that depicts the sexual harassment Kelly (as played by Theron) and several other women experienced from Fox News founder Roger Ailes.
The video, which Kelly posted to her YouTube Channel on Jan. 9, shows Kelly, former Fox co-workers Juliet Huddy, Rudi Bakhtiar and Julie Zann, and Kelly’s husband, Douglas Brunt, watching a private screening of “Bombshell,” then sitting down for a taped discussion about the film.
While attending the Producers Guild of America awards on Saturday night to accept the Stanley Kramer Award, Theron and fellow “Bombshell” producers Charles Randolph (who also wrote the screenplay) and Margaret Riley all told Variety that they were impressed with and gratified by the reaction everyone in Kelly’s video had to the film and how it portrayed their time at Fox News.

Former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly has spoken at length on “Bombshell,” the Jay Roach-directed movie that dramatizes her takedown of disgraced Fox CEO and chairman Roger Ailes in the wake of an explosive sexual harassment scandal. She’s played in the film by Charlize Theron, who’s poised to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress this coming Monday, January 13. Kelly previously took to Instagram to share her thoughts on the film, which she called an “incredibly emotional experience” while stressing that this wasn’t necessarily the version of her story she would’ve told. This Thursday, Kelly posted a YouTube video, where she and three former Fox staffers break down key aspects of the film. Kelly also enlists her husband, Douglas Brunt.

Megyn Kelly, Juliet Huddy, Rudi Bakhtiar and Julie Zann – the former Fox News journalists whose sexual harassment claims against Roger Ailes and other men at the company form the basis of the movie Bombshell – have released a little bombshell of their own: A 30-minute video in which they, along with Kelly’s husband Douglas Brunt, watch a screening of the film and then offer their reactions, often emotionally, during a panel discussion.
Megyn Kelly Presents: A Response to “Bombshell” was posted in full on Kelly’s YouTube channel today. During their discussion, the women agree that the film got lots right, and some fairly big things wrong.
Among the “liberties” taken by screenwriter Charles Randolph and director Jay Roach, said Kelly, was the implication that she sought approval from the Murdochs before asking the now-famous 2015 debate question about then-candidate Donald Trump...

Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie make for a powerful trio on-screen. With their latest film “Bombshell,” the award-winning actors recognize the potential for the film to make real social change off-screen.
“The response to the film has been incredible. I was hoping that it would be impactful in that way,” Robbie told Variety at the film’s Los Angeles premiere. “I really wasn’t expecting it to hit home so closely with a lot of men, which has been amazing, really amazing.”
“Bombshell” brings to life the ripped-from-the-headlines tale of how former Fox News anchors Megyn Kelly and Gretchen Carlson (Kidman) took on former Fox News head Roger Ailes and the toxic atmosphere he’d created at the network.
“We’ve spoken about it a lot because sexual harassment isn’t an issue for women to solve. It’s something we all have to solve together,” Robbie continued.

Now details are slowly coming out for the film while early reactions have been nothing short of ecstatic about the cast's portrayal of the women who brought Fox's sins out in the open.

With the ink still drying on Megyn Kelly’s $25-30 million separation agreement from NBC News, questions have begun to emerge about what the ex-daytime star might do next. Without the shackles of a non-compete clause, Kelly’s future is more open than at any time in her television career.
“At this point, with the money that she settled for, she could buy time and do whatever she wants to do,” longtime radio host Curtis Sliwa told TheWrap. “She’s going to be swimming in dough.”
But few expect her to just retire — despite the debacle of her short-lived tenure at NBC hosting the third hour of the network’s morning “Today” juggernaut and an even shorter-lived primetime magazine show.

With her contract nearing its end in 2016, Kelly weighed her options and decided to leave the network.
