‘Little House on the Prairie’ Star Melissa Gilbert Says ‘I’m Nauseated’ Over Kissing Older Male Co-Star at 15 in Reaction to Megyn Kelly’s Epstein Comments
“Little House on the Prairie” star Melissa Gilbert is joining the growing chorus of industry names appalled over Megyn Kelly‘s recent comments about Jeffrey Epstein. During the Nov. 12 episode of her eponymous SiriusXM radio show, Kelly claimed that Epstein was “barely into the legal type.” She said that Epstein “liked 15-year-old girls” and “wasn’t into, like, 8-year-olds.” “He liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby,” Kelly said. “There’s a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old, you know?” Kelly faced immediate backlash from both political and Hollywood figures. Christina Ricci posted that Kelly is a “danger to children,” while the social media hashtag “#iWasFifteen” started being used by women online to share their own stories of how they dealt with inappropriate behavior from men at too young of an young age. Gilbert took part in the trend, sharing photos on Instagram from “Little House on the Prairie” when she was 15 years old and had a kissing scene with her older male co-star Dean Butler asking that Netflix not ‘woke-Ify’ their ‘Little House’ remake,” Gilbert added in a longer statement. “Ummm. watch the original again. TV doesn’t get too much more ‘woke’ than we did. We tackled: racism, addiction, nativism, antisemitism, misogyny, rape, spousal abuse and every other ‘woke ‘ topic you can think of. Thank you very much.” Rebecca Sonnenshine (“The Boys,” “Vampire Diaries,” “Archive 81”) is serving as showrunner and executive producer on Netflix’s “Little House on the Prairie” reboot. The series does not yet have a release date.
