Kelly has lawyered up hiring supposedly some high power talent to extract the $69 MM from NBC. I wonder if she knows some things to make sure NBC pays up.

[Skywise]

That sounds very misogynistic to me.

NBC’s word means nothing. Who would have known?

[ClearCase_guy]

My guess is that she wins this one easily.

NBC has the upper hand here. They can draw this out and bring her to the table. The worse that can happen is they have to pay her.

You can be sure her attorneys are going to charge $500 to $1000 per hour. That’s thousands per week, week after week. You can go thru 5 million in legal fees very fast.

Is it too much to hope that Andy Lack dies with Megyn Kelly’s teeth in his throat?

[stanne]

Missteps? They knew who she was when they hired her. And she is not racist nor was anything she said racist.

They’re trying to get rid of her because of who she is. She hasn’t changed.

They need to pay her and move on.

Best that NBC can hope for is a deal with 69 million spread over 20 years....they were stupid to value her at such an amount.

[MTsumi]

I’m just glad NBC has to deal with this garbage. Whoever loses, it’s still win, pass the popcorn.

[FLT-bird]

No wonder they don’t want to pay up. Tough. They signed the contract. She is ready, willing and able to perform under the terms of the contract and they breached. If I were her lawyer, I’d inform them that doing anything other than paying the full contract amount was a nonstarter and if they did not like that, we’d see ‘em in court.

[libertylover]

NBC should pay up.

You can pay a lot of lawyers to litigate for many years over $69 million. If her ratings had been good they would not have been so eager to fire her.

My guess is that she will get most or all of her contracted payout. It is just a question of whether NBC wants a very public lawsuit dragging on for years or to quickly and quietly settle.

[rightwingcrazy]

Hey, a deal’s a deal. I thought they hired her to stick it to conservatives, not to make money. If they no longer think it was worth it, that’s their problem.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Dare she say if for fear of being misunderstood,

But it looks like NBC is reneging on their deal...

[Reno89519]

I don’t like her but NBC, pay up!!! She did not say anything illegal. You knew who she was when you hired her.

[bigbob]

NBC using “racism” as the excuse for their own bad decision in hiring her. Gutless Andy won’t take the heat for firingvher outright. You might not like Kelly but you can see this is just another example of executive cowardice.

[grania]

Pigs are flying AND hell has frozen over....I'm defending Megyn Kelly! Rather than defend or establish guilt of accused sexual predators, they were given huge payouts. Since the GWB depression, upper echelon execs have been given huge payouts for destroying companies. I would've been willing to destroy them for a small fraction of their take. Venture capitalists (such as Mitt Romney) make huge profits for trashing companies, causing hardship for employees and stock holders.

NBC made a stupid deal with Megyn Kelly. They had to know she was too provocative for their mindless and agenda-driven news reporting. NBC should shut up and put up.

And three cheers to Megyn Kelly for taking a stupid deal that is a win/win for her!

[Salvavida]

I hope she takes NBC to the cleaners. Stupid should hurt.
