00:00He wasn't into like eight-year-olds, but he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even
00:07younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby. Christina Ricci is speaking out,
00:15publicly criticizing commentator Megan Kelly for remarks she made about Jeffrey Epstein during a
00:20recent podcast episode. Ricci took to Instagram stories to react to comments Kelly made on the
00:25Megan Kelly show. In one slide, Ricci shared a quote pointing out that while there's a clear
00:30difference between a five-year-old and a 15-year-old, that difference does not determine whether sexual
00:35contact with a minor is considered pedophilia. Her post came in response to Kelly's discussion with
00:40journalist Bhadya Ungarsargan about newly released emails from the House Oversight Committee related
00:46to Epstein. During the conversation, Kelly argued, citing a source close to the case, that Epstein
00:51was not a pedophile. And this person has told me from the start, years and years ago, that Jeffrey
00:58Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile. This is this person's view, who was there for a lot
01:04of this, but that he was into the barely legal type. Like he liked 15-year-old girls. The Yellow Jacket
01:11star didn't hold back, adding her own statement, this woman is a danger to children. Elsewhere in the
01:16episode, Kelly insisted she wasn't excusing Epstein's behavior, calling the entire situation
01:21disgusting. She also claimed she'd been told for years that Epstein preferred teens, who could pass
01:26for even younger. But she noted that comments made by former Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier this
01:31year, alleging the FBI had tens of thousands of videos involving Epstein and minors, made her reconsider
01:38that belief. Kelly said Bondi never clarified the claim and added, I don't know whether it's true. Kelly's
01:44remarks sparked immediate backlash on social media. Critics on X demanded accountability, with some calling
01:50for her removal from Sirius XM, and others emphasizing that a 15-year-old is still a child. Jeffrey
01:56Epstein died by suicide in 2019, while awaiting trial on federal charges of sex trafficking minors.
02:03As for Megyn Kelly, controversy is nothing new for her podcast. In recent months, she's
02:08criticized Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, commented sharply on actress Sydney Sweeney's
02:12wardrobe choices, and labeled Jennifer Lopez an adult entertainer, following a risque performance.
