Megyn Kelly is attempting to explain her controversial statements on fat-shaming. 
  
 During an interview Thursday on Today with fit mom Maria Kang – best known for her “No Excuses” campaign — Kelly made an eyebrow-raising comment. 
  
 “You should parlay the shaming thing into a professional business. Because some of us want to be shamed,” said the host to Kang, who was promoting her revised fitness philosophy. “When I was in law school, I was gaining weight, I said to my stepfather, ‘If you see me going into that kitchen one more time, you say, ‘Where you going, fat a–?’ And it works!” 
  
 On Friday, Kelly clarified her position, saying she “would never encourage [body shaming] toward any person,” and even spoke candidly about her personal history with weight issues. 
  
 “I said something yesterday on the show that clearly struck a nerve, and I think it’s a conversation we need to have openly,” Kelly said. “We were discussing body shaming others, something I absolutely do not support. In fact, quite the opposite.” 
  
 Kelly went on to confess that her “entire family is or has been overweight or obese.” She shared that her sister weighed more than 300 lbs. and had gastric bypass surgery, and that when she Kelly was 6 years old, she came home “in tears” after a neighbor called her mom “fat.” 
  
 “It was the first time I ever saw my mother through that lens and it was my first lesson about the lens through which most of this country judges heavy people,” Kelly said. “A brutal and unforgiving one.”

 The mom-of-three confessed that she began to struggle with her own body issues. 
  
 “By the time I got to middle school, the hormones and the weight kicked in. I was chubby by any standard and soon I found myself on the wrong side of some vicious bullies,” Kelly shared. “Ones who called me fat, and made fun of my backside, who subjected me to humiliating pranks. Those comments can cut deep, trust me, I know. Soon there were diet pills and obsessive exercise and I had reduced my calorie intake to 500 calories a day. My heart was racing all day, my hair and skin were dry but I was thin. And so unhappy. I was scared of gaining weight because of the insane standard this country holds its women to and because I was and remain afraid of dying in my 40s, which happened to my father.” 
  
 Kelly explained that, “as an adult I’ve gotten healthier in my approach to eating, but I, like every woman I know, still wrestle with body image, and still cringe when I hear a person attacked for his or her weight.” 
  
 She continued: “Please know, I would never encourage that toward any person. I’ve been thinking a lot about why I once encouraged it toward myself. What I know for sure is that weight is an issue for millions of people, thin and heavy alike. And neither deserves to be judged or shamed for how they choose to handle that struggle.” ||||| CLOSE Megyn Kelly is attempting to explain her controversial statements on fat-shaming.

 A day after Megyn Kelly told "No Excuses Mom" Maria Kang that "some of us (herself included) need to be fat-shamed," the NBC morning host clarified that remark Friday morning. 
  
 “I said something yesterday on the show that clearly struck a nerve," she told her audience, "and I think it’s a conversation we need to have. We were discussing body-shaming others, something I absolutely do not support. In fact, quite the opposite.”

 Kelly conceded that she had said that "Maria's message does appeal to some people. She has thousands of followers who created their own "no excuses" clubs throughout the country. And then I revealed something I used to do 25 years ago." 
  
 She then played a clip from Thursday's show, in which she suggested Kang "parlay the shaming thing into a professional business because some of us want to be shamed. When I was in law school, I was gaining weight. I said to my stepfather, 'If you see me go into that kitchen one more time, you say 'Where you goin', fat (expletive)?' And it worked!" 
  
 Coming out of the clip, she said, "The pressure to be thin is ubiquitous in America and those who are not can face heartbreaking cruelty. I do not endorse this reality. The truth is I loathe it." 
  
 Kelly then got personal, telling the audience, "Everyone in my family is or has been overweight obese" — that her sister was, at one point, 300 pounds before having gastric bypass surgery, that she once came home crying after a neighbor call her mother fat and that she was bullied over her own weight during her middle-school years. 
  
 “Please know, I would never encourage that toward any person," she concluded. "I’ve been thinking a lot about why I once encouraged it toward myself. What I know for sure is that weight is an issue for millions of people, thin and heavy alike. And neither deserves to be judged or shamed for how they choose to handle that struggle.” 
  
 But the women over on ABC's The View weren't so quick to forgive, especially Meghan McCain. 
  
 "This hit me in a personal way," she said, recalling that her very first guest appearance on The View was to respond to being fat-shamed by Laura Ingram. "I have been fat-shamed publicly and humiliated my entire career. When you say something like, 'Sometimes, fat-shaming is good,' it really hurts me." 
  
 She continued, "This rhetoric is dangerous and I want to tell all the girls here: I'm a conservative political analyst; I'm still a very a very political person no matter what (Kelly) has decided to do with her career. To be on TV and do what I want to do here, I've never had to lose a pound. I've got a hot husband, I've got a cool job. I've never lost weight for anything."

Critics felt that she was fat-shaming moms who were anything less than fit. Talking with Megyn, Maria said that she wanted to shift away from that message and focus more on motivating women. "That was never my intent," she told Megyn about body-shaming. 
  
 While on the subject of shaming, Megyn suggested that Maria should spin fat-shaming people into "a professional business," because "some of us want to be shamed." She went on to say that she gained weight while she was in law school, and asked her stepfather to "shame" her in order to help her lose weight. "I said to my stepfather, 'If you see me going into that kitchen one more time, you say, 'Where you going, fat ass!' And it works!" 
  
 People, understandably, were furious about Megyn's comments: 
  
 I was publicly fat shammed early on in my career and it sent me to therapy. Trust me, there are real life ramifications for fat shaming of any kind, it is NEVER acceptable. We should be fostering a healthy culture that celebrates all women of all sizes. https://t.co/dFn3hGwot6 — Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) January 11, 2018 
  
 .@megynkelly I was severely fat shamed(bullied-yes it’s bullying Megan!) through high school. Even physically assaulted. You need to thing of the wider ramifications of such statements. — Brian Cuban (@bcuban) January 11, 2018

 Turned on the Today Show to catch @megynkelly share her dieting hack: FATHER-IN-LAW holds her accountable by saying “Where you going, FATASS??!�? when he sees her heading into the kitchen. Genius! — Justine Harman (@JustineHarman) January 11, 2018 
  
 @megynkelly could you sink any lower? Fat shaming is a good thing? Disgraceful! Sad! — confused (@tampicoone) January 11, 2018 
  
 This isn't the first time remarks she's made on TODAY have caused controversy. Megyn was in hot water in September for asking actress Jane Fonda about her cosmetic surgeries in an interview promoting her film with Robert Redford, and her comments wishing a Will and Grace super-fan (who happened to be gay) good luck with "the gay thing" were also heavily criticized on Twitter. 
  
 Your body can actually to amazing things—here's proof: 
  
 It's depressing that we have to keep beating this drum, but once more for the people in the back: Fat-shaming, like any body-shaming, is a form of bullying. It can cause serious emotional damage, and research suggests that it can actually lead to weight gain in the long run. To endorse it, even somewhat jokingly, as a healthy method to lose weight is irresponsible. 
  
 In response to the backlash, Megyn began her Friday morning show addressing the issues of weight and body-shaming. "I said something yesterday on the show that clearly struck a nerve, and I think it's a conversation we need to have openly. We were discussing body-shaming others, something I absolutely do not support. In fact, quite the opposite." 
  
 While Megyn said she's body-shamed herself in the past to gain control over her weight (and knows many other women who do the same), she doesn't condone that unhealthy thinking. "I do not endorse this reality, the truth is—I loathe it." 
  
 She opened up about her own experience with weight gain, including a family history of obesity and a father who died in his forties, as well as being body-shamed growing up. "I was chubby, by any standard and soon I found myself on the wrong side of some vicious bullies. Ones who called me fat, and made fun of my backside, who subjected me to humiliating pranks. Those comments can cut deep, trust me, I know." She revealed that she resorted to diet pills, extreme calorie restriction, and "obsessive exercise" to control her weight, but she was "so unhappy" at the time. 
  
 And though Megyn said as an adult, her approach to eating has changed and become healthier, she admitted that she still deals with body image issues. "Please know, I would never encourage [body-shaming] toward any person. I’ve been thinking a lot about why I once encouraged it toward myself. What I know for sure is that weight is an issue for millions of people, thin and heavy alike. And neither deserves to be judged or shamed for how they choose to handle that struggle." |||||
"Some of us want to be shamed," Women's Health quotes Megyn Kelly as saying Thursday while discussing fat-shaming on Today. "When I was in law school, I was gaining weight," Kelly recounted. "I said to my stepfather, 'If you see me go into that kitchen one more time, you say 'Where you going, fat ass?' And it worked!" She also suggested her guest, Maria Kang, turn fat-shaming into a business. Kelly's comments, understandably, didn't go over well with some people—Meghan McCain on The View called them hurtful and "dangerous"—and Kelly attempted to walk back the comments by opening up about her relationship with her own weight on Friday's show, USA Today reports. On Friday Kelly said "I absolutely do not support" fat-shaming and "would never encourage that toward any person." She added that her entire family "is or has been overweight or obese," and when she was in school bullies "called me fat, and made fun of my backside, [and] subjected me to humiliating pranks," People reports. Kelly said it still makes her "cringe when I hear a person attacked for his or her weight." She went on to talk about being "so unhappy" while taking diet pills and only eating 500 calories a day to get thin. "Weight is an issue for millions of people, thin and heavy alike," Kelly said. "And neither deserves to be judged or shamed for how they choose to handle that struggle.”
