Megyn Kelly on Friday challenged actress Charlize Theron – who played her in the 2019 movie Bombshell – to “come and fuck me,” after Theron vowed to attack anyone who had problems with drag queens.
Theron, whose adopted seven-year-old son Jackson identifies as female, addressed a “Drag Isn’t Dangerous” telethon on May 7 to lobby against the mass legislation currently being discussed statewide to curtail trans rights.
Theron said she would “f***” anyone who “tries to f*** you.”
On Friday, Kelly replied, “Why isn’t Charlize Theron coming to fuck me?”

Kelly said she enjoyed attending a drag show in Chicago, but it was for adults.
“I’m 100 percent against her here,” Kelly said.
‘Yes, there are fun drag queen shows – I’ve been there. When we lived in Chicago I went to one and it was super fun. They were all adults.
“But there are drag queen shows right now that are very disturbing, and they take place in front of young children.”
She said it “could include the care of young children.”
Kelly added, “Even she should be against this, trans kid or not.”
Kelly’s guest, activist Sara Gonzales, who is campaigning to end drag shows for children, said she was shocked by “the sexualization of children” and shared that she had attended a drag brunch where a child was present.
“There was one of the drag queens who wore an incredibly see-through outfit. This is exactly what is happening,” Gonzales said.
“I went there and saw this child being exploited and sexually abused.”
She said the drag queens “contaminate their minds,” adding that it was “disgusting.”
“All we’re doing is asking: Please stop doing this in front of kids,” Gonzales said.

Kelly agreed, adding, “If you introduce sexual behavior to young children, they get used to it.
“You don’t know who’s in that kid’s life. The child’s defenses are now disabled because you disabled them.
“So it’s a problem, Charlize.”
The Oscar winner said, “If you’ve ever seen a transvestite lip sync for her life, it just makes you happier, it just makes you love it more.” It makes you a better person.’
“F***, if I could do a death drop right now, I’d, but I’d probably love to, break my hip,” she said, referring to a popular drag move.
She ended her time by asking viewers to “support all the great organizations out there to help make all this bullshit go away the way it should, all this incredibly stupid policy.”
Tennessee became the first state to explicitly ban drag shows in public spaces after Governor Bill Lee signed the provision into law hours after the measure passed in the Senate.
Drag shows have become a target of conservative criticism as a slew of other anti-drag bills have been introduced in at least 14 other states, including Kentucky, Texas and Missouri.
The language in many bills is similar to Tennessee law, which prohibits “adult cabaret shows” in public places where minors may watch.
The Tennessee bill defines “adult cabaret” as “adult-oriented performances” that include “male or female impersonators.”
Arizona and Arkansas removed reference to drag shows from their bills earlier this year.
Meanwhile, the Idaho House of Representatives passed a bill in March that would restrict the performance of public live drag shows featuring “sexual conduct.”
In Kentucky, Republican lawmakers introduced a bill that same month to restrict drag shows, as supporters touted it as a child protection measure and opponents called it an unconstitutional attack on LGBTQ groups.
The measure won the Senate passage by a vote of 26 to 6 after a lengthy debate.
In Missouri, lawmakers introduced House Bill 1364 on March 1. The bill would criminalize engaging in, organizing, or authorizing any adult cabaret performance on public property, including drag shows.
Last week, Montana lawmakers sent a bill to Governor Greg Gianforte that would ban events where transvestites read to children in public schools, libraries or other publicly funded venues.
Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and West Virginia have also filed similar bills.
Theron appeared at the event via Zoom on May 7, which featured live and pre-recorded performances by entertainers from Hollywood and within the drag community.

Theron has regularly posted her support for the LGBTQ community on social media and last year was seen pouting in a photo with two people dressed in cross-dressing.
In April 2019, she revealed to DailyMail.com that her eldest child, seven-year-old Jackson, who was adopted as a baby and introduced to the world as a boy, had been identified as female.
“Yeah, I thought she was a boy too,” Theron said.
Until she looked at me when she was three years old and said, “I’m not a boy!”
‘There you go! I have two beautiful daughters who, like any parent, I want to protect and see them blossom.
“They were born the way they are and where in the world they find themselves when they grow up, and who they want to be is not for me to decide.
“It’s my job as a parent to celebrate them and love them and make sure they have everything they need to be what they want to be.”
“And I will do everything I can to give my children that right and be protected within it.”
Later that same year, Theron admitted that her daughter Jackson’s transgender journey is still “fairly new” territory for their family, in an interview with proud source.
Celebrities who joined Theron include Elizabeth Banks, Margaret Cho, David Cross, Whitney Cummings, Billy Eichner, Marcia Gay Harden, Leslie Jones, Adam Lambert, Melissa McCarthy, Kelly Osbourne, Orville Peck, Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman, Amber Tamblyn, and Ali Wong.
