Sally Field's apology for her whiteness drew a withering response Monday from journalist and podcast host Megan Kelly, who called the actress's words 'pathetic' and 'baloney.'
of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the host tore into the 76-year-old star, asking why she said she was “sorry for being a little White girl with privilege” at Sunday’s Screen Actors Guild Awards.
“I was a little White girl with a pug nose born in Pasadena, California. And when I look around this room tonight, I know my fight, as hard as it was, was lightweight compared to some of yours. I thank you. And I applaud you,” Ms. Field said. “News flash, White girls in America don’t have any troubles that are worth remembering when you’re in front of a group that has a lot of people of color,” Ms. Kelly said. “It’s such baloney, Dr. Drew. It’s such pathetic, obvious virtue signaling.”
