Jane Fonda’s Death Stare to Megyn Kelly Soothed My Soul
Y’all. Y’ALL. In these times of dumpster fire, joy must come wherever we can find it and I have found glee today!
Megyn Kelly, white privilege Barbie, has a new morning show on NBC. Those fools over there chose her over Tamron Hall, so you know I already wasn’t wishing the show well. Add to the fact that Megyn ain’t got the good sense God gave a goat and what you have is a “get busy, karma” holiday party.
Jane Fonda got a new movie she’s starring with Robert Redford, called Our Souls at Night so she decided to grace Megyn with her presence. Sometimes, you gotta do lessers massive favors like this.
During the interview, Megyn found herself throwing compliments on Jane, and then took a wrong turn.
Megyn: “But you look amazing. Why did you say, I read that you said you felt — you’re not proud to admit you’ve had work done. Why not?”
And that’s where she fucked up. Because what happened next was Jane giving me tea for my fever! You don’t even need video. All you need is this GIF.
BRUH!!! Jane Fonda showed that she is an active and dues paying member of the Giver of No Fucks Sorority Incorporated. Watch this GIF on loop and get your entire life. Because that 1 second pause, where Jane gave Megyn the Death Stare of LIFE had purpose. It was a mini meditation to avoid the complete snatching of edges of the one who knows not what she do. I mean, if looks could kill, we’d be planning Megyn’s repast right now. You know the one where the tater salad ain’t got no seasoning on purpose.
That pregnant pause was Miss Fonda stopping to weigh her options, and to calm herself down from choking the blonde dolt sitting across from her. That was Jane telling herself “Bitch I will destroy you in one swoop.” That was her also thinking “this is why you can’t do fools favors.”
But being the graceful goddess she is, Jane chose instead to just ask the knucklehead interviewing her “we really wanna talk about that right now?” And that is the nicest thing she could have done because had she gone IN on Megyn, I wouldn’t blame her. You’re asking this legend about plastic surgery in that moment? What did that have to do with the price of rice in Thailand?? The extra insult is that she surely didn’t ask Robert Redford the same thing and he was sitting 2 feet from Jane. Ol’ “The Patriarchy Worked Too Well On Me” face ass Megyn. Who taught you to oppress yourself?
Jane wasn’t here for the bullshit and did not have time to entertain it. It was chicken soup for my soul. It was balm for my shady spirit. ALL HAIL QUEEN JANE.
One thing I know: if an elder I respect looks at me like that, I’ma go sit in the dark for about an hour to just re-assess my life and ask God how I can do better at being.
I’m just here, enjoying Megyn Kelly’s perpetual failing.
Moral of the story: don’t let your mouth write checks your ass can’t cash, people. Shit is expensive and you can’t afford it.

Jane has admitted she has work done. I can only guess that she hates that she felt she had to do so in order to play the Hollywood game and continue to prosper, but she ain’t come to the Today show to talk about nothing but her movie and her reuniting with Redford. It’s only 4 days in and Megyn has managed to step in it for every interview she’s done.
She could have returned the backhand by asking Megan to share her miraculous anti-aging secrets. Megan’s still bummed she was born with a bunk nose that even plastic surgery couldn’t fix.
Ma’am. I spent the whole morning cackling and wiping away tears watching Jane try to set becky Barbie on fire with her mind. Coming for Hanoi Jane? Big mistake, HUGE!
Set her on fire with her mind. BWHAHAHA!
Agreed Ally!!!!!!!! Hanoi Jane……
Watch Jane’s eyes go from Megyn’s eyes, to mouth, to neck. She was deciding whether to gouge her eyes out, bust her effin lip, or choke the shiatsu out of her.
I think she might have been pointing out Megyn’s surgery sites by touching them with her eyes. She was like, “Bitch, you seriously want to talk about plastic? Let’s talk about the fact that I look this good because I exercise every damn day. That’s why my brain works better than your, too.”
YASSSS!!!
This ^^ is fabulous truth.
Don’t come for Barbarella when she didn’t send for you.
????????????????
15 years ago, Robert Redford looked like a bas-relief map. Now he is smoother than the proverbial baby’s bottom, and Megyn ain’t ask him a damb thing. Jane needed that deep breath to suck back in the vitriol she was thisclose to unleashing on that idiot.
Looka here….I don’t know you, but I knew the “bas-relief map” had to be funny as hell. Yeah, I looked it up. I <3 you, t cope!
CRYING at “bas-relief map”!!! LOL!
????????????????????????????
Bas-relief map!! I’m on the floor!!! LMAO!!!!
Bland tater salad and room temperature Kool-aid (certainly not red) at that repast! Thank you Queen Jane!
Jane had that “dis bish here!” 3 second pause…cause the baby powder-covered hand of Mother Monster-In-Law was about to crack Malibu Becky’s jaw!
And. I. Am. HERE. FOR. IT!!!!! Brava, Ms. Fonda. Brava.
All I can think about is when Jane jumped that little girl she was interviewing in the movie Monster In Law. We know Jane Fonda is not to be played with. By the way, I am still waiting on buddy movie starring Jane Fonda and Wanda Sykes, their chemistry in Monster in Law was awesome.
“One thing I know: if an elder I respect looks at me like that, I’ma go sit in the dark for about an hour to just re-assess my life and ask God how I can do better at being.” I am done with you Luvvie, for real this time.
That’s exactly what I thought about too!
I almost passed out. You’re gonna ask a legend like Jane Fonda “hey I know you don’t want to talk about this, but I think you’ll tell my dumb ass about your plastic surgery” oh hell no. Jane could have frozen her solid with three more seconds of that look!
MA’AM. That look Her Royal No Fuckness gave clearly said “BISH I will take off these earrings and pull ALL DEM blonde extensions out” She is everything I can ever aspire to be and her death look will be my new goal in life.
Andrea…your comment..lmaoooo! Outstanding!
I really enjoyed this write up. Hilarious!!! Smart punchy writing.
that backhand was twitching for sure
“Moral of the story: don’t let your mouth write checks your ass can’t cash, people.”
I am a simple soul and that cracked me up! I’m still laughing…ok, maybe howling…
Lol!
Megan Kelly barely escaped with her edges in tact Mutha Jane wasn’t here for the BS, her pimp game is strong in them Hollywood streets.
She forgot that Jane is founder and president of Kappa Delta F*ck Off Sorority Inc.!
DEAD.
Kim, What da’ya haf to do, to get pledged!?!????
OH HELL YEAH.
Something that has always enraged me was women commenting on what other women do to/with their bodies. It’s no one’s business. Snide bitch comments about Cher or Joan Rivers, about the “work” they’ve had.
I had plastic surgery for my droopy eyelids — ptosis is a medical condition that can affect eyesight but it’s considered elective cosmetic surgery — my body, my choice.
If anyone comes at me with any “aging gracefully” bullshit or “accepting my body”, they’d better bring their lunch. Women need to check themselves and STFU because I’m not having it either.
I see this trainwreck lasting as long as a gig in the White House.
Yeah, she needs to update her LinkedIn profile and make it public, she about to be job searching.
That pregnant pause had “no this bihhh didn’t” written all over it.
Thank you Luvvie, and everyone who commented. I’m laughing so hard I’m crying. Tears of joy. For today, the universe is right.
????
What??? I hope this is your attempt at sarcasm. Otherwise, you do realize you can STFU for free right?
This was hilarious, my damn side hurts from laughing so hard. Jane don’t play, Jane don’t play!!!!
There are things you just don’t do and one is asking anybody about the plastic surgery they may have had. That’s not the reason Jane was there. When she was asked the question, her facial expression reminded me of the scene in ‘Monster In Law’ when Jane’s character, Viola, was interviewing a young pop star and physically assaults her when she says she doesn’t support Roe V. Wade because she thinks boxing is too violent. Jane had that same look but was quite restrained.
The cast of ‘Will & Grace’ said that they didn’t know they were appearing on MK’s show. They were just told it was the Today Show. I guess with 4 hours, you don’t know which segment you’re going be in. I also wonder if they’re ambushing guest by not telling them in in order to get them to show up. As a poc, I wouldn’t want to be in the same room as MK.
Just sent the link for this article to all my friends – this is the best article ever. “Who taught you to oppress yourself? Girl, I’m inviting you to all my parties.
Are we sure Jane’s mama wasn’t getting a little sumpin sumpin from a melanated mista back in the day? Because that was the real “sit yo simple ass down” look that mama used to give when the kids got a little too rambunctious. The look that mean “get hit with words now; boomerang houseshoe next.”
not the “boomerang house shoe” oh lawd!
So very tacky Meagan but we shouldn’t be surprised since you’re of the Fox News ilk
You can take the girl out of Fox News but you can’t take the Fox News out of the girl.
Don’t come for Jane Fonda if she hasn’t sent for you.
All the visuals of Jane Fonda’s side eye have given me life too.
Girl,
Your writing is as entertaining as this episode. I’m over here cracking up.
Girl, you can WRITE❗️????????
Yes she can!! She’d make a great script writer for a comedy show.
In that one second, Jane had the following thoughts run through her mind:
“Did this simple minded blown out barbie doll actually fix her mouth to ask me that dumb ass question? If I don’t take my shoe off right now on live national television and whoop her bony ass I — Jane. Janey. You’re a Fonda. Remember the movie. Remember Grace and Frankie. She is so lucky. Don’t make me catch your ass in the streets tho. No cameras there you raggedy little bitch”
Yes. One second. All of that.
After the show, she walked past Megan in the hall, real slow. Looked at her up and down, real slow. Kept walking.
Megan peed herself a little.
????????????????????????????????
EXCELLENT!!!! #dead2times
Yes, a lot of people don’t know she is responsible for a few deaths of POW’S in Vietnam! Because of her stupidity!
She will be Hanoi JANE U YOUNG PEOPLE LOOK THat up!!!!!!
She will be Hanoi JANE U YOUNG PEOPLE LOOK THat up!!!!!!
I was around for that period of her life. What about it?
Jane Fonda never said she disliked having plastic surgery. I saw an interview where she said she is proud of how she looks. Plus she looks good and not fake like some do. She even said she had both hips and knees replaced so she can continue to exercise. She looks damn good for 79 years old. Megan Kelly is a dumbass bitch. I didn’t see the interview but I am glad to hear Robert Redford got some work done as the last time I saw him he looked like he was melting. Men need to care about their looks, too.
So much graciousness! Megyn’s just thinking about her future self, and doesn’t have sense enough to know that’s a green room conversation. Maybe she thought she was asking on behalf of others who want their future plastic surgery validated by this gorgeous elder. “Who taught you to oppress yourself” indeed.
[…] I love Jane Fonda and I love Luvvie, so this was a […]
I love that she did the full inhale first like “lord please dont let me hurt her.”
To me Jane Fonda is the white version of Diane Carroll. Pose class and swag. They can cuss you out without saying 1 cuss word. Darling you have no idea who you are dealing with. If Megyn knows like we know she would fall in line. Have a seat ma’am this isn’t for you
Woo hah,
I thought Jane would back hand a chick! I know she’s better than that, but THAT would have been good TV.
LUVVIE is coming to Minneapolis! I just got the email. Now, is my 10yo daughter ready for you live!?!?! That’s my only question. Thoughts?
This post made me let out a hearty guffaw which hasn’t happened as much since we entered the dark days of perpetual flaming trash piles. Thank you so much for giving me that laugh.
MK has not come very far from the Fox trailer trash, and still carries a lot of its stench and rough edges. NBC can’t afford to sink much lower and she is the one that can take them to the bottom.
I just need you to know that this is the 5th time I have read the post in the past 24 hours.
When I got to the part about “an elder I respect”, I did not laugh out loud. I went from wide-eyed disbelief to tears. Directly to tears streaming down my face.
Your post was the tea, the life, the chicken soup this lil’ black girl needed this week.
Thank you, Miss Luvvie
Tamron wouldn’t have asked that question…#JustSaying
Megyn should have asked her about something important like equal pay for actresses in the movie industry. I would love to know if she and Redford got paid the same for doing the same amount of work.
Anyway, what I think NBC is doing is letting her fail on purpose. They’ve eliminated a ratings threat like when she was on FOX. Eventually, she’ll be gone from their roster never to be heard from again, I hope.
She is from a privileged life. Sitting on a NVA tank with drafted Americans dying in the field left my generation with a sour taste. She is the privileged. And you are wrong supporting her. She would never support you
As with many photo ops, the NVA propagandized Jane’s visit during the war. She stood for our American POW-MIAs then, and welcomed home Vietnam Vets unlike many other Americans.

I’m dead. And I love you. Thank you.
Is it bad that I want to know who her Dr is? Robert Redford should ask her who her Dr is cuz she looks amazing! But there’s a time and a place for that frivolous conversation (probably never but I’d like to look that good!) and not when it’s about hard work, talent, career and a project.
Funny stuff!!
I love you! Please take your act on the road. Do a 1 woman show, I promise you would do well!

Love it! I couldn’t agree with you more. Also? That gif of the gorgeous and oh-so-funny Richard Ayoade from The IT Crowd was the icing on the cake.
Meanwhile, in Tennessee, one of Miss Jane’s two ride-or-dies, Dolly Parton, was hiring a couple of wranglers to go to NYC and beat the s**t outta Megyn Kelly.
Mme. Fonda WAS NOT HERE for that child……AT ALL. That’s that Crone Death Glare action…..
Damn Wayback Machine-headass MFs crying ’bout something that happened almost 50 years ago! As I’m sure you’re fond of telling people these days — perhaps YA’LL should just GET OVER IT?
“Who taught you to oppress yourself?” My favorite line in a piece riddled with favorite lines. I hate the answer to this rhetorical question. At almost 60 years old, I am unlearning how to oppress myself, and trying not be a (clueless) model of self-oppression for others. It’s hard work, and I’m grateful I don’t have to do it alone. Resist.
Fonda has talked about her plastic surgery before. If it had been Oprah, no one would have thought twice, because she would have had a whole hour to talk about many sensitive topics. Kelly just ran right in and it felt rushed and obvious. I’m not a Kelly fan, but no one would have criticized Oprah or Diane Sawyer for the same question.
So I’m so sorry, but is anyone else as mad af that NBC is trying to repackage her like she’s not that racist a**hole from Fox News? I know we black people have ptsd, but we don’t have is short term memory. I’d never watch this show.
