"The View" co-host Meghan McCain was among the chorus of women calling out Megyn Kelly after she suggest some fat-shaming is OK.
Kelly's comments came as she interviewed fitness blogger Maria Kang on Thursday's episode of her talk show. Kang went viral in 2013 after posting a photo of her shredded stomach and her three young children with the caption "What's Your Excuse?" She was accused of mom-shaming other mothers at the time and just recently recreated the photo.
"You should parlay the shaming thing into a professional business," Kelly told Kang during her appearance on the show. "Some of us want to be shamed! When I was in law school, I was gaining weight, I said to my stepfather, 'If you see me going into that kitchen one more time, you say, 'Where you going, fat ass?' And it works!"
That didn't sit well with many who caught the segment at home, including McCain.
"I was publicly fat shammed [sic] early on in my career and it sent me to therapy," she said, re-tweeting an article about Kelly's comments. "Trust me, there are real life ramifications for fat shaming of any kind, it is NEVER acceptable. We should be fostering a healthy culture that celebrates all women of all sizes."
