Megyn Kelly is departing NBC after making controversial remarks about blackface during a segment earlier this week, multiple sources confirmed to Daily Mail.

“Megyn Kelly is done. She is not ever coming back,” an NBC executive familiar with the situation told the Daily Mail. “We are just working out timing of the announcement but mark my word – she is gone and will never be seen on NBC live again.”

Kelly defended blackface during a segment on Halloween on Tuesday.

Kelly later apologized but continued to face a slew of criticism.
