Megyn Kelly is expanding her media empire and is hiring a former Trump ally to assist.
Hope Hicks is President Donald Trump’s former communications director and has previously worked at Fox Corp., but now her resume will boast a position as Devil May Care Media’s chief operating officer (COO). The company “encompasses [Kelly’s] popular podcast, YouTube show, and other verticals,” according to The Hill.
The podcast host made the partnership announcement on social media:
“There’s a lot happening, and I needed help… Now I’ve got the best of the best. Hope Hicks is incredibly smart. She’s a smart, strategic, thinker. I’ve spent hours and hours with her. She’s going to help us grow this thing.”@MegynKelly announces Hope Hicks has joined her… pic.twitter.com/EtFPUZ2eZi

“Hope Hicks is exactly the kind of woman I want running my company with me – strong, smart, strategic, and the embodiment of class and poise,” Kelly’s statement gushed.
Hicks has also signaled her excitement to become part of Kelly’s media legacy, saying the host has “used her talent, integrity, and unparalleled credibility to create content unlike anything else available today.”
The role will reportedly be “dedicated to the continued success of Kelly’s media company, with expansions in new lines of business and partnerships.”
X users reacted to the partnership, with some unhappy about the relationship between Hicks and Trump:
Congrats! You’ve not only nailed it as one of the world’s best journalists and interviewers, you seem to be morphing into quite the businesswoman. I love your work!! God Bless and much success!!!

I listen to Megyn Kelly just about every day but for the life of me, I don’t know why she chose Hope Hicks! She’s a backstabber and a liar and while I hold Megyn in highest esteem, this choice worries me! Hope Hicks? Really?????

We love your podcast @megynkelly but isn’t Hope Hicks the person who testified for the prosecution against @realDonaldTrump in the bogus hush money trial?

She brings a lot of baggage with her and has proven that trusting her is a mistake. This seems like a big risk to take for little reward.
