'Little House On The Prairie' Star Torches Megyn Kelly For Fearing 'Woke' Reboot
HuffPost
Netflix announced a reboot of the 1970s drama earlier this week, prompting seemingly genuine fears of "woke" inclusivity from the former Fox News host.
Megyn Kelly seems oddly concerned that the newly announced reboot of “Little House on the Prairie” is going to be too “woke” — and was veritably torched on social media by actor Melissa Gilbert, who starred in the original show for nearly a decade.
“Netflix, if you woke-ify ‘Little House on the Prairie’ I will make it my singular mission to absolutely ruin your project,” the former Fox News host posted Wednesday on X, formerly Twitter, while linking to a Hollywood Reporter article announcing the reboot.
Gilbert famously starred in the original NBC show as Laura Ingalls, the real-life writer whose series of books about growing up in a family of American post-Civil War settlers was adapted for TV. She appeared in all nine seasons from 1974 to 1983 and three subsequent movies.
The actor, who landed a Golden Globe nod for her performance in the series in 1981, eviscerated Kelly’s post with ease.
“Apparently Megyn tweeted (I’m not on that platform) asking that Netflix not ‘woke-Ify’ their Little House remake,” she wrote Thursday on Instagram. “Ummm … watch the original again. TV doesn’t get too much more ‘woke’ than we did.”
