Page Six reported that Today host Megyn Kelly’s handling of the Jane Fonda attack where she shaded the actress for talking about her on other shows about the time Megyn asked about her plastic surgery. In her attack, the host called her “Hanoi Jane” and said she was in no position to “say what’s offensive.”

Sources said the public flogging shocked Kelly’s fellow NBC News staffers.

“The problem is that nobody at NBC is controlling Megyn. They paid her more than $20 million to host the 9 a.m. show, and she’s been given too much power. But the fact remains: You can’t say those things, or be so aggressive, on morning TV,” said an insider. “Plus, Megyn was already having trouble booking celebrities — so how is she ever going to book other stars if they disagree and she goes on air later and trashes them?”
