Megyn Kelly Defends Wearing ‘Blackface’ on Halloween: ‘When I Was a Kid That Was OK’ (Video)

“What is racist?” Kelly asks about wearing blackface on the spooky holiday

Megyn Kelly defended the possible use of blackface on Halloween, saying that she didn’t see the the big deal if a white person wanted to dress up as a black person on the holiday.

“What is racist?” Kelly asked. “You get in trouble if you’re a white person who puts on blackface on Halloween or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween. When I was a kid that was OK as long as you were dressing up as a character.”

In her defense, Kelly cited “Real Housewives” star Luann de Lesseps who darkened her appearance to more accurately portrayย Diana Ross — she later apologized.
