Melissa Gilbert<\/strong><\/a> didn\u2019t hold back when it came to Megyn Kelly\u2019s<\/strong> recent comments regarding convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n During the November 12 episode of The Megyn Kelly Show<\/em><\/a>, Kelly, 54, claimed that the late Epstein was \u201cinto the barely legal type.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe liked 15-year-old girls. And I realize this is disgusting,\u201d Kelly continued. \u201cI\u2019m definitely not trying to make an excuse for this. I\u2019m just giving you facts, that he wasn\u2019t into, like, 8-year-olds.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBut he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby,\u201d she explained. \u201cThere\u2019s a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n Her comments quickly sparked outrage online<\/a> with women sharing photos of themselves at 15 years old alongside the hashtag #iWasFifteen to make the point that the age is still very childlike.<\/p>\n Gilbert, 61, participated by sharing a set of photos of herself at that age during her time on Little House on the Prairie<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
