Megyn Kelly has beefed up her team by hiring a top Hollywood litigator, signaling that the anchor is ready to put up an aggressive fight as she sorts out her likely exit plan with NBC.
Kelly is now represented by Bryan Freedman, one of the founding partners of the Los Angeles-based law firm Freedman & Taitelman, Variety has confirmed. Kelly’s new attorney is set to meet with NBC executives as early as Friday to “determine next steps,” insiders say.
