Outspoken comic Rosie O’Donnell lashed out at right-wing pundit Megyn Kelly after the former Fox News host defended convicted sex offender Russell Brand.

Brand was sentenced to more than 10 years in prison on Monday after being convicted on one count of rape and three sexual assault charges. Kelly, who interviewed the disgraced comic in April, has vociferously come to his defense following the verdict that sent him to prison.

“Go f— urself Megan [sic],” O’Donnell posted on Threads.

O’Donnell’s attack on Kelly came in response to a social media link posted by comedian D.L. Hughley. It included a summary of statements made by Kelly calling Brand’s conviction a “political witch hunt” and undermining the accusations made against him at his trial.

Kelly and Brand share many conservative political beliefs. She has used her podcast to criticize his lengthy sentence as excessive.

“This is a country that let how many of these immigrants who had come into their country rape young white girls with impunity for years?” she said on a Monday video lambasting the British court that sentenced Brand.

O’Donnell, who moved to Ireland when President Donald Trump took office in January 2025, comes from a more liberal perspective.

The comedic actor, who hosted an eponymous talk show from 1996 to 2002, said in an August interview that the attention she receives over her ongoing 20-year feud with Trump makes her feel “re-famous.”
