In her tweet, Megyn humorously shared her apprehension about the "I’m far too busy" excuse while heading into jury duty. This lighthearted moment came after a tumultuous period for the 48-year-old. In October 2018, Megyn found herself at the center of a storm following controversial remarks about blackface Halloween costumes. The backlash was swift and fierce, prompting NBC to terminate her contract. More than two months later, Megyn and NBC reached a settlement, marking the official end of her tenure at the network.

A Settlement and a New Beginning?

According to a statement from NBC, "The parties have resolved their differences, and Megyn Kelly is no longer an employee of NBC." This resolution reportedly saw Megyn walk away with close to $30 million, money still owed to her from her three-year, $69 million contract. Despite this financial cushion, the road ahead for Megyn could be challenging. Sources close to her suggest that her options for returning to television are limited. A source exclusively told Closer Weekly, “Megyn may have gotten a sweet exit from NBC with her $69 million contract intact, but she still has no firm job offer."

What Lies Ahead for Megyn?

While Megyn has expressed optimism about her return to television, the specifics remain unclear. As the source elaborated, “She says we’ll be seeing her back on TV shortly, but her options are very limited. Everyone is excited and wants to know what her plan is, she’s definitely working on something, but it’s still a mystery.” The insider added, “Megyn would love to turn back time and have everyone forget the last year she had. Her arrival at NBC, the blackface comment, clashing with Matt Lauer and her other colleagues. It was a year of highs and many lows, but mainly one that she would like to forget.”

As of now, Megyn appears to be without any concrete job offers on the horizon. There’s also no update on whether she was selected for the jury after reporting for jury duty in NYC. While her future in television remains uncertain, one thing is clear: Megyn Kelly continues to navigate her career with resilience and humor, keeping fans engaged and curious about what’s next.
