While discussing the latest political and entertainment news, Kelly turned her attention to De Niro, attacking him over his outspoken political views and public rants against conservative figures.\u201dRobert De Niro is not just a left-wing activist,\u201d Kelly said with a smirk. \u201cHe\u2019s an extremely stupid left-wing activist. The man has made a career out of playing tough guys, but in reality, he\u2019s just an angry, bitter old man screaming at the sky.\u201dKelly\u2019s comments come in response to De Niro\u2019s most recent tirade against conservative political figures and media personalities, a move that has become a hallmark of the actor\u2019s public appearances in recent years.While Kelly did not specify which of De Niro\u2019s remarks triggered her latest attack, the Oscar-winning actor has a long history of using Hollywood platforms to lash out at conservatives, including former President Donald Trump and right-wing media outlets.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/pictures2.icusocial.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/02%5C/image-15-1024x1024.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-5147\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<p>Robert De Niro has never been one to hold his tongue when it comes to politics.

The actor has never been one to back down from a fight, especially when it involves conservative media figures.Some insiders speculate that De Niro may address the controversy in an upcoming interview, while others believe he will simply ignore Kelly\u2019s comments altogether. Regardless, the feud has already added fuel to the ongoing cultural battle between Hollywood and right-wing media.This latest spat between Kelly and De Niro is just another example of the deepening divide between Hollywood\u2019s liberal elite and conservative media personalities.In recent years, high-profile figures such as Ricky Gervais, Jon Voight, and Tim Allen have called out the entertainment industry\u2019s political bias, while left-wing stars like Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, and now De Niro continue to use their platforms to push progressive messages.Kelly, who built her career as a hard-hitting journalist and commentator, has made it clear that she won\u2019t back down when it comes to calling out&nbsp;<a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/pictures2.icusocial.com%5C/breaking-megyn-kelly-blasts-robert-de-niro-calls-him-extremely-stupid-in-explosive-hollywood-feud%5C/?fbclid=IwY2xjawIYzi1leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHZxCuZTSOmIwT0KGF19_yIT8BBpsNn98UmwEUHZY3JgfUzxpVFwij62DGw_aem_oVER_g36Dx5shJ1PUh4G0w#%5C%22">&nbsp;celebrities&nbsp;who, in her view, overstep their boundaries.\u201dI\u2019m tired of these actors thinking they\u2019re intellectuals,\u201d Kelly said in her podcast. \u201cThey pretend to know everything about politics, but in reality, they\u2019re just parroting whatever their Hollywood friends tell them to say.
