For most employable humans on Watch Psych 2: Lassie Come Home Onlinethis planet, saying racist things in public would be grounds for immediate termination with no pay. Megyn Kelly isn't most people.
Almost three months and $69 million later, the disgraced TV host who got suspended for her thoughtless on-air remarks about blackface in late 2018, is no longer an employee of NBC. The dollar amount represents the total Kelly stood to earn from her three-year contract, had she stuck around for all of it.

Megyn Kelly Todaylaunched in Sept. 2017, so she didn't even make it halfway through her three-year commitment before the network decided it was wiser to just fork over $69 million and show her the door immediately.
As The Hollywood Reporternotes via an unnamed source, Kelly's contract didn't even include a non-compete clause that would prevent her from walking right into another job.
Her NBC job has been in limbo since Oct. 2018. At the time, the network pulled her off the air after Kelly defended the use of blackface when it's part of a Halloween costume. Her remarks prompted an immediate outcry that led to Kelly's suspension and eventual removal from Today.
(There isn't any time or occasion in the 21st century that makes blackface OK for white people, to be clear. Not a single one.)
Kelly's exit from NBC was greeted on social media with a mix of celebration and critical barbs directed at the network. Most seem to agree that she needed to go, but there's a great deal of puzzlement over the decision to hire her in the first place. Many predicted when the former Fox News pundit was brought in that Kelly's tenure at NBC would end in disgrace. And hey, here we are.

Sometimes the peanut gallery has a point. Maybe NBC should have read the room a little better back when hiring Kelly was only a possibility.
