Blake Lively elicited a furious response from one of her fellow TIME100 honorees when they arrived at the magazine’s all-star gala on Thursday night in New York City.
While speaking to DailyMail.com on the red carpet, Megyn Kelly, 54, delivered an impassioned rant against the 37-year-old Another Simple Favor star.
According to Megyn, Blake, who left readers outraged over her TIME100 cover, ‘shouldn’t be here.’
She accused the actress, who was accompanied at the event by her 48-year-old husband Ryan Reynolds, of ‘bastardiz[ing] Me Too allegations’ in her quest to sue her It Ends With Us director and costar Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment.’
The Megyn Kelly show host, who showcased her svelte figure in a red sleeveless dress, joked that she hoped to get a selfie with Blake and Meghan Markle ‘in the distance’ because they had provided her with ‘so many hours of content.’
‘It’s a ridiculous joke. She shouldn’t be here,’ she said of Blake.

While speaking to DailyMail.com, Megyn Kelly, 54, delivered an impassioned rant against the Another Simple Favor actress. According to Megyn, Blake, who left readers outraged over her TIME100 cover, ‘shouldn’t be here’
‘I think [Blake has] launched a fake Me Too allegation against [Justin], and she’s lived to regret doing it, because virtually every allegation she has made has fallen apart,’ Megyn added.
‘So for her to be honored for doing that, to try to ruin a man over absolutely nothing, is a scandal.’
She said TIME was just trying to generate publicity for the magazine by putting ‘big stars’ on the cover, but it was ‘very wrong’ to lend its legitimacy to the controversial star.
Megyn joked to DailyMail.com that she wouldn’t be making an effort to avoid Blake or Ryan, but she had a ‘feeling she’s going to be avoid me.’
As for the rumors of a feud between Blake and her Another Simple Favor costar Anna Kendrick, the conservative host was less concerned, as it was Blake’s alleged attempts to ‘bastardize Me Too allegations against people who don’t deserve it’ that got her blood boiling.
According to the lawyer, thoroughly investigating the Gossip Girl star’s claims was necessary to prevent other future accusers from being tarnished.
She added that even though Blake and Ryan have ‘very powerful PR people and lawyers,’ it’s important to be ‘clear-eyed’ and to ‘call out’ claims when they aren’t legitimate.
‘Otherwise, no one who has actually experienced these things is going to be believed,’ Megyn declared.

In one hilarious moment, photographers farther along the line begged him to move over to another backdrop by chanting his first name repeatedly and shouting that the other part of the backdrop was ‘the Canada of the map,’ a reference to his birth country, though he also gained American citizenship in 2018.
Blake even got in on the fun and clapped along with the photographers to get her husband to play along.
Joining the A-list couple on the red carpet was Blake’s mother, Elaine Lively.
She looked elegant in a flapper-inspired black dress with chevrons of black sequins, along with a sheer black section covering her chest and sleeves.
