Megyn Kelly isn't reconsidering her position. In a new commentary clip, she explains how she reached it, recalling a friend's question about the backlash to her coverage of Russell Brand.

Kelly says hearing Brand out on her show changed her perspective. She draws a distinction between defending his personal behavior and questioning the legal outcome: "I don't defend Russell's conduct as that of a gentleman at all."

Brand was convicted of rape and sexual assault in 2026. Kelly expresses strong doubts about the verdict and argues that people should be willing to reconsider their initial judgments. "Everyone's entitled to their opinion on this, including me," she says.

The clip drew about 620 comments in its first day, more than six times Kelly's usual response for a Short, while views were ordinary for the channel. Viewers discuss the burden of proof, the evidence they believe a conviction should require and the time between accusations and proceedings. Those comments do not establish what evidence the court considered.

As we reported here, Kelly had already questioned the verdict in an earlier upload. This clip turns to her own change of mind and her refusal to retreat from that position under criticism.
