Megyn Kelly has come down heavily on Blake Lively, calling the actress a "bully" for subpoenaing her in her ongoing legal fight with Justin Baldoni.
The media personality claimed that the actress cannot come to terms with the fact that the public criticism she has faced in recent times grew organically, but has instead chosen to believe it was all a smear campaign orchestrated by her former co-star.
Megyn Kelly also accused Blake Lively of parachuting her best friend into a role in the movie, and leaned on her "dragons" to shield her from accountability.
Megyn Kelly Calls Blake Lively A 'Narcissistic Bully'
Kelly is quite mad at Lively and has branded the "Gossip Girl" star a "narcissistic bully" after her legal team subpoenaed the journalist in her lawsuit involving actor Justin Baldoni.
She claimed on Thursday's episode of her show that Lively tried to drag her into her headline-grabbing court battle with her "It Ends With Us" co-star, before going on to call her names.
Kelly revealed that Lively's lawyers had sought her private communications as part of the lawsuit and had actually subpoenaed her to obtain them.
"She backed down and has now missed the deadline to pursue her harassment of me and my team any further," Kelly declared on her SiriusXM show on Thursday, per the New York Post. "We gave her absolutely nothing. Not one document, not one record, not one communication."
The former Fox News star stated that the victory was a First Amendment issue before calling out Lively's lawyers for even considering it.
"No world would I ever, ever allow my team's communications to be turned over to a third party," she said.
Megyn Kelly Doesn't Need Help Concluding That Blake Lively Is A 'Terrible Person'
Lively and Baldoni have been involved in a highly publicized legal battle since working on the film "It Ends With Us."
The actress accused him of sexually harassing her on the set of the movie, as well as launching a smear campaign to tarnish her image. However, Baldoni filed a countersuit of his own, claiming she had tried to wrestle creative control of the film from him.
In her criticism, Kelly claimed that the "A Simple Favor" actress cannot accept that the recent backlash she has faced wasn't engineered and that it wasn't a smear campaign by Baldoni.
The show presenter mocked the idea, saying she didn't need anyone to influence her to conclude that Lively is "a terrible person."

Kelly also stated that a "Gossip Girl" staff member alleged that Lively mistreated her former co-star, Leighton Meester, during their time on the show.
"She's a narcissistic, liar, bully, brat," Kelly said. "Blake Lively acts like an unlikeable bully brat who cannot believe any of that negative press could be genuine."

The Furious Journalist Slammed Blake Lively For Dragging Her Friends Into The Lawsuit
In a previous legal document, Baldoni accused the actress of using her best friend, Taylor Swift, to pressure him into relinquishing control of the film, "It Ends With Us."
The actor said that Lively likened herself to a character in "Game of Thrones" called Khaleesi, and referred to her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and Swift as her "dragons."
However, Kelly slammed her for the acts, alleging that she did so because she didn't want to take full accountability.
"This is yet another entitled, nasty Hollywood snob who thinks she is untouchable," Kelly said, vowing never to "back down to the likes of Blake Lively."
Kelly ended her tirade with a very pointed remark: "If you're not speaking out against her, you must be on her payroll."
