Megyn Kelly says Jeff Zucker’s affair with CNN executive Allison Gollust is only the tip of the iceberg and promises more bombshells are set to drop.
The former Fox News host unleashed on Zucker hours after he announced he was resigning from his role at CNN.
In his statement, Zucker admitted he failed to dislose a romantic relationship with “someone I have worked with for more than 20 years.”

Kelly blasted the statement and called Zucker a liar. “Zucker’s relationship with Gollust went on for years, and what he did to keep her near him (as he kept advancing her up the line) will be even more stunning to the CNN news room,” she wrote.
The conservative host even came for Gollust after the CNN marketing exec released her own statement.
