Megyn Kelly Slams Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Over Parenting of North West

Podcaster Megyn Kelly and addiction specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky criticized Kim Kardashian and Kanye West during an episode of "The Megyn Kelly Show" regarding their parenting of 13-year-old North West. Kelly opened the discussion by pointing out North West's recent photo shoot on the cover of Dazed magazine, highlighting her styling with false teeth, blue hair, and facial piercings. Kelly expressed concern that Kardashian and West are prematurely pushing their minor daughter into high-profile entertainment ventures, including a rap album and live stage performances, without adequately considering the psychological consequences of early childhood celebrity. Dr. Pinsky echoed these concerns, citing Kanye West’s documented history with bipolar disorder as a potential hereditary risk factor for North West while alleging that her parents are insufficiently present to provide stability. As of August 26, 2026, representatives for Kardashian and West have not publicly responded.
