Megyn Kelly theorized the woman in command of Fox News’ public relations department is leaking clips of Tucker Carlson, which have gone viral in recent days.
Clips of Carlson, who was fired by the network last week, have been leaked to Media Matters and The New York Times.
In one clip, Carlson complained that his then-company would not maintain its streaming platform Fox Nation on behalf of customers.
Carlson commented that “nobody watches Fox Nation because the site sucks,” adding, “I’m just frustrated with it. It’s hard to use that site. I don’t know why they’re not fixing it. It’s driving me insane.”
In another clip, Carlson had choice words for Media Matters.
It is obvious none of the clips were meant to be seen by the public, and it is unclear how the behind-the-scenes outtakes ended up in the hands of Carlson’s far-left opponents.
On her radio show on Monday, Kelly theorized Irena Briganti, Fox’s senior executive vice president for corporate communications, is behind the leaks.
WARNING: The following video contains language some viewers may find offensive.
“So [Fox News] first leaked to the New York Times,” Kelly said during an interview with Libs of TikTok founder Chaya Raichik.
Kelly added, “This is my supposition for the record because it hasn’t been yet confirmed, but I know it is. And I know it’s Irena Briganti who runs comms and f***ing hates Tucker. Sorry. She hates his guts.”
The host said the feeling between Briganti and Carlson is “mutual.”
“He doesn’t like her either,” she said. “None of us do. Nobody likes Irena.”
A Fox News spokesperson denied Kelly’s theory, calling it “completely false and an outright lie.”
