Bill O’Reilly has some pointed words of sympathy for his former Fox News colleague Megyn Kelly in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter's Marisa Guthrie. “I feel bad for her because it's the same old game; you build them up and tear them down. I mean, what has Megyn Kelly done wrong?” O'Reilly asked. “I don’t get [the media criticism]. She worked her way up from being a reporter, and now she's making good money, and she's in a good position. So what has she done wrong? You don't like her haircut? Is that it? I don’t get it.” He also offered some light criticism of Kelly’s controversial decision to interview InfoWars conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, explaining why he didn't watch by saying, “You know, with all due respect, I’m not going to learn anything from that.” O’Reilly, who was ousted by Fox News earlier this year amidst a sexual harassment scandal, said he is still considering a potential return to TV news and teased “some interesting projects in development” without offering any specifics.
