Megyn Kelly chastised Ashley St. Clair in an explosive rant for decrying the tabloid press’ intrusion into her privacy and the alleged lack of support from the supposed father of her child, Elon Musk–and then appearing in a New York Post story a day later.

On Feb. 13, St. Clair, a conservative columnist and commentator, posted to X that “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world.

Elon Musk is the father.” This would be Musk’s 13th child.

St. Claire expressed concern that the “tabloid press” was invading her privacy and requested the “media honor our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting.” The 26-year-old has been the subject of online attacks since the post.

Following her statement, she posed for photos for the New York Post as a part of a story on her relationship with Musk.

In another story, her PR representative, Brian Glicklich, said “We haven’t had any contact from Elon or anyone in his circle reach out.”

The hypocrisy that Kelly saw in St. Clair’s participation in the Post story sent the 54-year-old on an condemning tirade on the Megyn Kelly Show Tuesday.

“The next day after the tweet hits, she poses for a full spread in the New York Post in like her sexy wear.

She’s wearing a corset, and this is her in this swanky New York apartment which is described as lavish,” Kelly said.

Kelly continued her lecture, “All I can think as I look at this is: Your life is the way it is because you decided it would be. Because of your choices, madam. Like, you set it up this way.”

Kelly referenced a post she wrote on X about the issue: “You could also find a man who wants to marry you, and raise children with you, and won’t have other women in his life at the same time,” she continued.

Kelly lamented what she described as St. Clair’s poor choices, “You do not have to make a choice where you try to bang the billionaire, to get his baby,

so he’ll put you up in some lavish New York City apartment and take care of you for the rest of his life, and then be shocked, shocked, when he doesn’t actually want to have a relationship with you.”

A request for comment has been sent to Kelly and St. Clair.

The billionaire is yet to comment directly on the matter except for a one-word response to an X user: “woah.”
