Megyn Kelly told Variety she is uncertain if she will stay with Fox News after her contract is up this fall._  by [Nolan Feeney](https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/)  ## Nolan Feeney Apr 6, 2016 1:59 PM UTC Megyn Kelly told Variety she is uncertain if she will stay with Fox News after her contract is up this fall.  by [Nolan Feeney](https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/)  ## Nolan Feeney Apr 6, 2016 1:59 PM UTC Fox News’ contract with Megyn Kelly is up after the 2016 election, but the star anchor hasn’t decided if she’s staying put. “I don’t know what’s going to happen,” she said [in a new interview with _Variety_](http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/megyn-kelly-donald-trump-fox-news-1201744872/). “I’ve had a great 12 years here, and I really like working for Roger Ailes. I really like my show, and I love my team. But you know, there’s a lot of brain damage that comes from the job. There was probably less brain damage when I worked in the afternoon. I was less well known. I had far less conflict in my life.” Some of that “conflict” has come from Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump, who has repeatedly attacked Kelly since she brought up his history of making disparaging comments about women [during a Fox News debate](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cy0WXD9G%5Fdg). Trumps’ comments about Kelly have been [widely criticized](http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/08/politics/donald-trump-cnn-megyn-kelly-comment/), though the news anchor declined to call some of his remarks—including a Trump tweet in which he said she owes him part of her salary—sexist. “I’ll leave that to someone else to label,” Kelly said. Still, “brain damage” isn’t the only factor Kelly is weighing as she thinks about her next steps. There’s also her family: “I also have three kids who are soon going to be in school from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. I come to work at 3:30,” she said. “I like to see my children. Having said that, my boss has been good about working with me to make me happy.” \[[_Variety_](http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/megyn-kelly-donald-trump-fox-news-1201744872/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4283407/megyn-kelly-fox-news/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4283407/megyn-kelly-fox-news/"},"headline":"Megyn Kelly Isn't Sure If She's Staying With Fox News","datePublished":"2016-04-06T13:59:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-05T08:49:59.605Z","description":"\"There’s a lot of brain damage that comes from the job.\"","url":"https://time.com/4283407/megyn-kelly-fox-news/","keywords":[],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5d386687ba078c8d/69888df2ab6d7706c86a9220/megyn-kelly-leaving-fox-news.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5d386687ba078c8d/69888df2ab6d7706c86a9220/megyn-kelly-leaving-fox-news.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Fox News Sponsors Republican Presidential Candidate Debate Ahead Of Iowa Caucuses","caption":"Fox News Sponsors Republican Presidential Candidate Debate Ahead Of Iowa Caucuses","creditText":"Bloomberg—Bloomberg via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4283407/megyn-kelly-fox-news/","name":"Megyn Kelly Isn't Sure If She's Staying With Fox News"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Megyn Kelly Uncertain about Future at Fox","description":"Megyn Kelly told Variety she is uncertain if she will stay with Fox News after her contract is up this fall.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/3oxTkTHx/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2016-04-06T15:52:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/3oxTkTHx.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4283407/megyn-kelly-fox-news/","duration":"PT1M16S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4283407/megyn-kelly-fox-news/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
