Megyn Kelly isn't winning any popularity contests, at least according to one of her ex-colleagues, Breaking Celebrity News can report.
During a recent interview, former Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean shared her unfiltered take on the conservative commentator.
Janice Dean Calls Out Megyn Kelly
One of Kelly's former colleagues, Janice Dean, put her on blast.
According to Dean, she's tried to stay quiet about Kelly's antics over the years, but believes her recent remarks about Christina Applegate's multiple sclerosis (MS) misdiagnosis were a step too far.
“I’m sick of her using her platform to put people down," she explained to a publication. "She goes to the lowest denominator and constantly puts women down."
“She doesn’t have any close friends," Dean, who branded Kelly a "mean girl," claimed. "She's secluded herself to live in Connecticut, and doesn’t get out into the world. It's very isolating, and she doesn't have someone pulling her in to check her."
Dean went on to say that she'll have more to say once she's feeling better, as she's been in and out of the hospital in recent weeks.
Christina Applegate's MS Misdiagnosis
Applegate recently revealed that she was misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis five years ago.
Dean has battled MS for 23 years, as it appears her former coworker's frank remarks about Applegate's misdiagnosis likely hit close to home.
Applegate broke down in tears on her MeSsy podcast on October 20, as she revealed that she was misdiagnosed with MS five years ago.
"She came into my room and said, 'Congratulations, you don't have MS,'" Applegate recalled. "I was, like, not happy at all. Everybody else was so happy."
'I Haven't Gotten Better'
Christina Applegate says that her physical condition has only gotten worse since learning she was misdiagnosed with MS.
"You don’t get misdiagnosed and then all of a sudden I'm better," she continued. "I haven’t gotten better. If anything, I've gotten worse."
Applegate also noted that learning she doesn't have MS has not changed her physical condition. She still faces serious mobility issues, along with persistent numbness, tingling, and more.

Kelly called Applegate's health battle a 'wild goose chase' on a recent episode of her show.
Kelly addressed Applegate's revelation on her show, showing very little compassion for the actress.
"She's crying now because I guess she no longer gets to be the face of this disease, and as she says, she’s back to ‘square one,'" Kelly claimed at the time. "She’s made like a cottage industry of talking about her MS."
"This is, like, the problem with celebrities like wanting to lean into their health problems," she added, labeling Applegate's health battle a "wild goose chase."
