Megyn Kelly leveled a list of vicious personal accusations against President Donald Trump during an unfiltered podcast appearance, claiming he’s a serial cheater while resurfacing rape allegations his first wife, Ivana Trump, made and then later retracted.

The former Fox News anchor aired Trump’s dirty laundry on the Friday episode of the “Hodgetwins Podcast,” as she criticized him for attacking former counterterrorism chief Joe Kent for remarrying “fairly quickly” after being widowed in 2019.

“Talk about a glass house!” Kelly said, referring to when Trump taunted Kent for wedding his current wife, Heather Kaiser Kent, a full four years after his first wife, Navy officer Shannon Kent, died in combat in 2019.

“I mean, Trump has cheated on every wife he’s had,” the conservative firebrand went on to claim. “I mean, he met Marla Maples while he was still married to the mother of his children, Ivana. It was all over the New York papers ... Like he was proud of the affair!”

She then dredged up one of the uglier accusations Trump has faced, telling conservative comedy siblings Keith and Kevin Hodge, “And by the way, Ivana, his first wife, accused him of raping her” — an allegation the late Mrs. Trump later retracted.

In a sworn deposition during their bitter divorce proceedings in 1990, Ivana Trump described a violent sexual encounter with her then-estranged husband that allegedly happened the year prior after he underwent a painful scalp reduction surgery.

Though she used the word rape while under oath, she recanted the claim after the accusation was included in the 1993 book “Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump.” In a statement provided by her ex-husband’s lawyers, she said she “felt violated” but did not “want [her] words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense.”

When the allegation resurfaced during Donald Trump’s first presidential campaign in 2015, Ivana Trump further minimized her accusation, at that point dismissing it as “totally without merit.”

Kelly made sure the couch the claim, which Trump has long and adamantly denied, as unconfirmed, adding, “I don’t know whether that’s true or not, but just saying, clearly not a great relationship there.”

She then shifted the attention to Trump’s third marriage to model and now first lady, Melania Trump, saying, “If you think Trump’s been faithful to Melania, that’s great. You’ve got bigger issues than I can solve here.”

The first lady addressed rumors of infidelity in 2018 following the president’s criminal case over an alleged “hush money” scheme to keep porn actor and director Stormy Daniels from going public about an alleged sexual encounter in 2006.

Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records over $130,000 his lawyer, Michael Cohen, paid Daniels, though the president claims he was unaware of the arrangement.

“It is not a concern and focus of mine,” Melania Trump said during an interview with “Good Morning America” in October 2025. “I’m a mother and a first lady and I have much more important things to think about and to do. I know people like to speculate and the media like to speculate about our marriage.”
