Megyn Kelly Reportedly Wants 10 Million To Honor The Confidentiality Clause In Her Exit Contract From Nbc
That’s on top of the reported $38 million NBC has offered Kelly, which is supposed to be the full remainder of her three-year contract, after only a little over a year at the network. And according to a source close to the TV personality, the negotiations between her and NBC have reached “all out war”: “She doesn’t just want the remainder of her $69 million contract, she wants more money on top as compensation for what she believes is NBC’s attempt to not just have her off the air but to end her career.” However, Kelly’s attorney Bryan Freedman says that the report that she wants extra money to honor a non-disclosure agreement are not true, and that the story has in fact been planted by NBC News chief Andy Lack: “Out of respect for the discussions, I am not going to share more details but any suggestion that Megyn is looking or asking for more than her contract is untrue. This is clearly planted by NBC News to continue its mission to harm Megyn and gain some sort of leverage. It won’t work. Andy Lack needs to stop.” Things have deteriorated from there, with both sides accusing the other of underhanded deeds in order to serve their own causes. Negotiations, meanwhile, are reportedly ongoing.
