Megyn Kelly Slams Gavin Newsom’s ‘Nutcase’ Wife Jennifer Over Comments About Sister’s Death

Megyn Kelly took aim at California First Lady Jennifer Siebel Newsom over comments she made regarding the death of her sister when she was a child.

During the Wednesday, April 8, episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, the conservative podcaster, 55, referenced a circulating clip of Siebel Newsom speaking about interviewing juvenile offenders for her 2015 documentary, The Mask You Live In.

“I told them about my own loss when I lost my elder sister a few days before my seventh birthday, and I blame myself for her death,” Siebel Newsom emotionally recalled in the clip. “I share that because they ultimately were accused of committing these violent crimes and sentenced for life.”

During Kelly’s podcast, the political commentator kicked things off by saying, “We’ve got to start with this nutcase, Jennifer Siebel Newsom… what’s going on?”

“She casually references the fact that she accidentally killed her sister,” Kelly continued, “which I don’t think most people knew.”

Siebel Newsom also explained of speaking with the young men in the clip, “I think it shocked them that this, you know, blonde lady who was interviewing them had a similar story — was perhaps in the wrong place at the wrong time — but wasn’t punished the way they were because clearly it was an accident, but theirs was probably an accident, too.”

According to The Representation Project, the film “follows boys and young men as they struggle to stay true to themselves while negotiating America’s narrow definition of masculinity.”

Kelly referred to the remark as a “record scratch,” noting that the death of Siebel Newsom’s sister — which she previously revealed to The Los Angeles Times was during a golf carting accident — was the “parents’ fault for letting six-year-olds be at the wheel of golf carts.”
