Megyn Kelly laid into Hollywood A-lister Blake Lively over her “nothing burger” claims against “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni after the release of a leaked video.
The host of the SiriusXM podcast “The Megyn Kelly Show” threw down the gauntlet against Lively on Wednesday’s episode as she reviewed the video, which showed Lively, 37, and Baldoni, 40, filming a montage sequence on the film set.
“Time and time again, she accuses him of doing something, which then when you hear the full context, is an absolute nothing burger!” Kelly exclaimed.
The video clip was sent to The Post by Baldoni’s legal counsel Bryan Freedman, who is also Kelly’s personal attorney, in an effort to dispel Lively’s sexual harassment claims against him.
“She alleges that she’s a MeToo victim. That’s absurd!” Kelly said.
“This person is not an honest broker. I believe her less than ever. I actually disbelieve her fully.”
The bitter feud between the two actors began after Lively sued Baldoni for $250 million, alleging he spearheaded a smear campaign against her.
Baldoni then filed a $400 million countersuit against Lively and her husband, “Deadpool” actor Ryan Reynolds.
Lively previously filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Commission, and disparaged Baldoni in an interview with The New York Times, which Baldoni slapped with a lawsuit for libel.
Kelly sided with Baldoni, claiming the entire kerfuffle began because Lively “clearly cooperated with The New York Times to leak the whole thing.”
“Now that she’s had her shot against him, and she’s severely damaged him…now she wants a complete gag order,” Kelly said.
Kelly argued that Baldoni didn’t smear Lively’s reputation, but that her image was ruined “because she turned out to be not a very nice person.”
Lively’s lawsuit alleges that during a “slow dance scene,” Baldoni stepped over the line when he “leaned forward and slowly dragged his lips from her ear and down her neck as he said, ‘It smells so good.’”
Kelly argued that while the actors were not reciting from a script, they were still in-character.
“Obviously, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni aren’t choosing to hold hands and nuzzle each other in front of this room of people,” she said.
The video shows the co-stars dancing, holding hands and nuzzling for a film montage that would have an added music backtrack. The two actors can be seen speaking to each other, but do not appear to be referencing a script, even mentioning each other’s spouses by name.
“She’s completely flirtatious with him, and he’s flirtatious back, but they’re talking about each other’s spouses, and it’s all in good fun,” Kelly said.
“She [Lively] laughs, and says, ‘Oh, did you get beard on me?’ She doesn’t say, ‘Oh my god, you nuzzled me and said that I smell good!’”
