Single. One.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Baldwin addressed Kelly\u2019s salacious and false claim <a href=\"https:\/\/unravelingwithbrooke.substack.com\/p\/week-95-no-sex-lies-and-megyn-kelly\">in a new episode<\/a> posted Sunday, writing, \u201cMy last Substack was not about me having casual sex. It was about me choosing not to. It was about heartbreak. Discipline. Discernment. Protecting my energy while I build something bigger than myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd yet, for nearly nine minutes, Megyn framed an entire discussion around a false account of my sex life and my bodily choices, alongside three men who cackled, laughed, and berated me,\u201d Baldwin wrote, continuing:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In addition to her millions of YouTube subscribers, [Kelly] also posted it to her many other social media and podcast accounts, and broadcast on SiriusXM. And these lies were clipped, posted, and syndicated by other outlets with comparable audiences of their own; other journalists, editors, and media teams also never bothered to read my original Substack or check with the original source; me.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kZQHJj0QETc&amp;t=6145s\">On her own podcast Thursday<\/a>, Kelly admitted that she hadn\u2019t read Baldwin\u2019s prior post and walked back her incorrect claim \u2014 while largely doubling down on her attacks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrooke Baldwin was CNN anchor for over 10 years, we played some of this yesterday, in which she \u2014 she has a Substack now in which she\u2019s bragging about casual sex, and how she had the opportunity to sleep with four men this past month,\u201d Kelly said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, as it turns out, we should have paid to read the rest of her stupid Substack, which we didn\u2019t, because, who gives a sh*t about Brooke Baldwin, to be honest?\u201d Kelly said. \u201cAnd in the paid pieces of the article, she confesses she actually did not have casual sex with these men! It was all just a teaser to get you to pay to listen to her lame recitations about her life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Baldwin addressed Kelly\u2019s follow-up comments in Sunday\u2019s piece, writing, \u201cshe did another nine-minute segment defaming me. This time, she briefly claimed that she had not read my full Substack before making her original false accusations. Even if I were to believe she didn\u2019t read my full piece, this is an admission that failed to satisfy the most basic standards of journalism.
