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.
