Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly is offering tips for dealing with bullies after her network’s public feud with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
“If a bully pokes you with a stick, don’t jump. Among other goals, a bully wants to control you,” Kelly writes in an op-ed titled “How to Deal with the Haters.” “A bully wants some kind of reaction; why provide it?”
{mosads}Trump has escalated his attacks on “The Kelly File” host since clashing with her in an August presidential debate.
He skipped the last Fox News debate after questioning whether the network would be fair to him.
Kelly has previously said she “can no longer go on Twitter” because of the criticism she receives from Trump supporters.
“[W]allowing in the kind of negativity we find online these days can be damaging to the soul. It’s bus exhaust. Why inhale?” she writes in the op-ed.
“The more you let negative people get in your head, the more they succeed in cowing you,” Kelly adds, pinning the negativity on envy.
