Megyn Kelly will not be appearing on her NBC show on Thursday, two days after the host's controversial comments about blackface as a Halloween costume drew stinging criticism from inside the network, according to multiple reports.

Two sources close to the situation tell The Hill that NBC and Kelly are working on an exit deal. The negotiations come less than two years after Kelly jumped from Fox News to NBC News in January 2017.

Kelly sparked criticism Tuesday when during a panel segment on her show, "Megyn Kelly Today," regarding Halloween costumes, she said dressing up in blackface was considered fine when she was growing up “as long as you were dressing like a character.”

“You truly do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface at Halloween or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween,” Kelly said. “That was OK when I was a kid, as long as you were dressing like a character.”

Kelly went on to point out that “Real Housewives” reality star Luann de Lesseps once dressed up as African-American signer Diana Ross becuase de Lesseps wanted to “look like Diana Ross for one day.”
