Megyn Kelly Criticizes Kardashian-West Parenting

Megyn Kelly has some sharp thoughts about how Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are handling their 13-year-old daughter North West’s public life, and she’s not holding back. The talk show host sat down with Dr. Drew this week to discuss what she sees as a troubling pattern: two A-list parents fast-tracking their young daughter into the spotlight without considering the potential fallout.

On Tuesday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” both Kelly and Dr. Drew zeroed in on the same concern: North’s accelerating fame at an age when most teenagers are figuring out who they are away from public scrutiny. The conversation centered on the recent Dazed Magazine cover featuring North in stylized fashion photography, complete with bold styling choices like false teeth, blue hair, and facial piercings.

Kelly pointed to North’s expanding career as part of the bigger picture. Beyond the magazine appearance, North is working on a rap album and performing live on stage. For Kelly, these aren’t just normal kid activities. They’re evidence that Kim and Kanye are actively pushing their daughter toward stardom without adequately weighing the psychological and emotional costs of early celebrity exposure.

Megyn Kelly framed it as “rushing” North into adulthood, while Dr. Drew added his own concerns grounded in mental health awareness. He referenced bipolar disorder running in Kanye’s family history, suggesting genetic vulnerability to conditions that could be exacerbated by early fame’s unique pressures. Dr. Drew also claimed, without offering specifics, that Kim and Kanye appear to be absent parents who don’t maintain a consistent presence in their children’s daily lives.

The conversation took a darker turn when Dr. Drew invoked harsh terminology, comparing the situation to placing North on a metaphorical “guillotine.” The point was clear: exposing a 13-year-old to this level of public scrutiny carries real risks that extend far beyond the immediate thrill of media attention.
