Megyn Kelly has a bone to pick with Blake Lively.
The former Fox News anchor, 54, revealed she doesn’t know why the actress, 37, was a part of the Time 100 list of influential people in 2025 amid her ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
“It’s a ridiculous joke. She shouldn’t be there,” Kelly told the Daily Mail on Thursday. “She has no influence over anything.”
Kelly’s comments come on the heels of Lively attending the Time gala on Thursday with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and mom, Elaine.
Inside, the star of “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” gave a poignant speech, addressing a past trauma her mom had gone through.
“I have so much to say about the last two years of my life, but tonight is not the forum,” Lively began, alluding to the legal feud with Baldoni, 41.
“What I will speak to separately, is the feeling of being a woman who has a voice today, and since I could speak, because of the pain, cautions and fight of the many women who have paved the way, and the men who stood beside them. Millions I will never know the name of.”
She continued, “Because every life, every act, big or small, affects another. … My life was influenced most by my mother, who’s here with me tonight, an eternal optimist who’s always leaving me messages, hoopin’ and hollerin’ sayin’, ‘life’s just a bowl of cherries.’”
Despite Elaine’s sunny disposition, Lively has seen her mom go through tough times.
“But, at her urging and unwavering bravery, she wanted me to share with you that she is a survivor of the worst crimes someone can commit against a woman. I’ve watched her conceal her raw and undeserved shame my entire life, so, as her daughter, being asked to share this today is monumental. If we name it, we change it.”
In December, Lively sued the “Jane the Virgin” actor, making claims of sexual harassment — which included allegedly walking in on her using a breast pump and speaking about his past porn addiction. She also accused him of orchestrating a retaliatory smear campaign against her.
Baldoni, who was her co-star and director of the 2024 drama “It Ends With Us,” denied the allegations and filed his own defamation suit against her, Reynolds, 48, and their publicist Leslie Sloane and Sloane’s firm, Vision PR Inc.
Both Lively and Baldoni denied the claims.
The hit movie premiered over the summer and is based on a novel by Colleen Hoover about a domestic violence relationship between their characters.
A trial date has been scheduled for March 2026.
During Lively’s speech at the Time 100 Gala, Lively said that being called “influential” was “a significant responsibility.”
“How we use that matters,” she added. “Who and what we stand up for, and what we stay silent about, what we monetize versus what we actually live, matters.”
However, Kelly doesn’t buy it.
“I think she launched a fake ‘Me Too’ allegation against him [Baldoni], and she’s lived to regret doing so because virtually every allegation she’s made has fallen apart,” she alleged to Daily Mail. “And so, for her to be doing so, to try and ruin a man over absolutely nothing is a scandal.”
The Post reached out to Lively’s rep for comment.
After Lively’s Time recognition was announced, the “Gossip Girl” alum took to social media to share her gratitude for making the list.
“It’s an honor to be acknowledged on the @time 100 list for 2025🤍🙏🤍 To be written about by the great @sherrilynifill is not something I take lightly. Her work has shaped our nation,” she wrote via Instagram on April 16. “WHO SHE IS — as a human, woman, mother, leader, fighter, healer, empath, risk taker and dream maker — has shaped my heart and also my stamina to never stop believing in a future that’s better and safer for everyone.”
She added, “Thank you @time And thank you @sherrilynifill for one of the most surreal and meaningful moments of my life in this honor. My 10-year-old self is pretty blown away right now.”
