Megyn Kelly can’t stomach Michelle Obama’s hairstyling drama

Podcaster Megyn Kelly is not holding back on former First Lady Michelle Obama’s new book.

Kelly dug into the former first lady’s implication that society doesn’t “allow black women to just walk around with their natural hair.” This comes after Obama began promoting her new book The Look, which takes a peek into her style choices during her time in the White House.

Watch:

“As women of color, the way our hair naturally grows out of our head is beautiful, but if we struggle to make it look like the standard, that means we are spending thousands of hours and lots of money straightening out what is naturally curly hair, right?” Obama says. “And that takes time out of your life. It costs money.”

“Okay, so what she’s saying is, she’s bitter because society’s ‘standards,’ in her view, don’t allow black women to just walk around with their natural hair,” Kelly explains. “That is bullshit, black women can walk around with whatever hair they want. Only in Michelle Obama’s warped mind do white people not like them unless their hair looks like white hair!”

“And here’s the other thing,” the podcaster continued. “The nerve. The nerve of this woman to pretend that black women are the only women who have to spend a bunch of time getting their natural hair to quote conform to these alleged society standards. Because virtually every woman I know spends a shit ton of time on her hair and wants it to look better than God made it. It’s not a black thing, it’s a human thing and especially a woman thing, but she’s always reducing everything to race.”
