“Yellowjackets” star and ’90s movie icon Christina Ricci just shut down a MAGA commentator with a brutal seven-word statement.

If you take a look at Ricci’s filmography, you’d recognize she has experience handling ghouls, ghosts, and monsters, so calling out MAGA on social media is right up her alley.

On Nov. 14, Ricci shared a pair of stories on her Instagram, calling out MAGA commentator Megyn Kelly, who seemingly downplayed the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein, and she didn’t hold back at all.

She shared two posts from betches_news, the first of which read, “There’s definitely a difference between a 5-year-old and a 15-year-old. But that difference is not ‘whether or not sleeping with them makes you a pedophile.’”

The second post referenced the previous, featuring screenshots from Kelly’s interview with conservative journalist Batya Ungar-Sargon on her podcast, “The Megyn Kelly Show,” where Kelly discussed the recently released Epstein emails by the House Oversight Committee.

“I know somebody very close to this case...Jeffrey Epstein, in this person’s view, was not a pedophile,” the caption read. “He wasn’t into 8-year-olds, but he liked the very young teen types... There’s a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old, you know?”
Ricci made it very clear how she felt about Kelly’s comments with added text on betches_news’s post, “This woman is a danger to children.”

On her podcast, Kelly did address the topic as “disgusting,” and she wasn’t “trying to make an excuse,” noting there is something to consider about the age differences. “I’m just giving you facts, that he wasn’t into, like, 8-year-olds. But he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby,” she said.

Kelly questioned whether or not Epstein was a pedophile just based on Pam Bondi’s claims that they discovered “child sexual abuse material on his computer,” adding that while that would qualify him as one in her opinion, she said, “I have to be honest, I don’t really trust Pam Bondi’s word on the Epstein matters anymore.”
Whatever Kelly meant to convey during the interview by more-or-less downplaying the actions of Epstein, it’s pretty clear that Ricci and the internet-at-large are not having it.
People are pretty upset by her remarks, to say the least:
